EcoSecurities to support UK PACT Programme Strengthening High-Integrity Carbon Markets in Indonesia
EcoSecurities, a global leader in carbon finance and climate-market innovation, has been awarded a major technical-assistance contract by UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) to deliver a 15 month programme supporting Indonesia in scaling a high-quality, high-integrity carbon market. This work will help unlock investment in priority sectors and support the development of a carbon market fully aligned with Indonesia’s national climate goals and international best practice.
As part of this 15 month programme of work, titled Partnership and Registry Optimisation for Transparency, Engagement, Carbon Integrity, and Trading” PROTECT), EcoSecurities—in consortium with Institute for Development of Economics and Finance (INDEF) —will support the Government of Indonesia in strengthening institutional readiness, market governance, Article 6 frameworks, investment pathways, and private-sector engagement. This work is especially critical given Indonesia’s climate-finance gap, with the We Mean Business Coalition estimating that US$ 473 billion will be needed by 2035 for the Country to achieve its Second Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for the 2031 – 2035 period. By helping to build a high-integrity carbon market, EcoSecurities’ support can unlock significant carbon-finance flows into priority sectors—including energy, transport, land use and nature-based solutions—accelerating low-carbon investment and positioning Indonesia as a regional leader in carbon markets.
Working closely with the sectoral ministries and national stakeholders, the Indonesia-UK PACT project will focus on:
- Strengthening Indonesia’s carbon-market infrastructure, governance and institutional capacity.
- Supporting the development of high-integrity guidelines, MRV systems and Article 6 operational frameworks.
- Engaging stakeholders across energy, industry, land use, blue carbon, transport, and nature-based sectors to strengthen Indonesia’s carbon-market infrastructure—including MRV systems, registry design, safeguards, and pathways for linkage to international markets.
- Supporting stakeholders in understanding and preparing a future pipeline of high-integrity carbon-market activities.
- Enabling private-sector participation through establishing clear rules of engagement and higher-integrity supply.
- Building pathways for Indonesia to attract international climate finance and high-value carbon transactions.
- Ensuring that future markets deliver tangible social, economic and environmental benefits for Indonesian communities.

“We are honoured to be selected by UK PACT to support Indonesia at such a decisive moment for its climate and economic future. The discussions and signals coming from Indonesia at COP30 show strong momentum toward scaling carbon pricing and market-based climate solutions. Indonesia has set an ambitious pathway toward cutting 1.2–1.5 gigatonnes of emissions by 2030, and closing the climate-finance gap will be critical to achieving this. High-integrity carbon markets are one of the most powerful tools to mobilise the scale of investment required, while ensuring finance flows directly to the communities, enterprises and sectors driving Indonesia’s transition.”
“With nearly three decades of experience delivering climate-finance solutions across emerging markets, EcoSecurities is proud to be supporting Indonesia in building a, high quality, high integrity carbon-market system that can increasingly attract international investment, and helps the country to accelerate its transition to a low carbon, sustainable economy, that works for all.”
