Carbon markets present a powerful opportunity to foster sustainable entrepreneurial growth. In Indonesia, two carbon trading systems are currently in place: a voluntary market and a compliance-based market. While the compliance market is still emerging, the Government of Indonesia views carbon finance as a crucial driver in reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, alongside the country’s energy transition goals.
To advance this evolving sector, IBC Institute has launched the Carbon Market Impact Center (CMIC). This center serves as a central hub for information sharing, collaboration, and innovation, focused on key strategic sectors involved in carbon market activities. CMIC is built on three core pillars:

Capacity building through the Indonesia Carbon Market Academy
A dedicated Support Facility
An Innovation Impact Center

Together, these pillars aim to accelerate Indonesia’s carbon market development and its role in sustainable growth.
