Jakarta, Indonesia
Nilai Ekonomi Karbon (NEK) Policy Analyst, Climate Program
This is a hybrid position which requires 8 days per month in the office. You will be based in our office in WRI Indonesia, Jakarta. Existing work authorization is required at the time of application submission as WRI is unable to sponsor any visa work sponsorship for this position.
Program Overview
The Climate, Economics, and Finance (CEF) Programme at WRI focuses on the technical, economic, and social benefits of climate action, as well as the cost of inaction to support country transitions toward net zero emissions as outlined in the Paris Agreement, that is just, inclusive, and leave no one behind. At the global level, we are working on several main areas: (1) stepping up national climate action while building economies that are cleaner, more equitable and offer better quality of jobs; (2) advancing international climate action through international cooperation on climate change to implement the Paris Agreement and make ambitious, equitable climate action a reality; (3) providing national governments, cities and companies with tools and resources to track progress toward their climate goals and strengthen accountability for existing climate commitments; and (4) tracking progress toward climate goals and supporting equity and development goals in the transition to a net zero emissions while ensuring that the transition will bring more just and equitable society.
At national level we work collaboratively with the government to design ambitious climate action plans that align with long-term climate goals and national development plans through research, policymaking processes, and climate negotiations. We also support businesses, civil society, local governments, and other non-state actors as they pursue their own emissions-reduction and adaptation goals. We have built various climate tools to inform good decision making and ensure accountability for existing commitments, as well as tracking progress on climate action.
UKPACT PRICE (Carbon Pricing)
The issuance of Presidential Regulation (PR) No. 110/2025 on Carbon Pricing (Nilai Ekonomi Karbon/NEK), replacing PR No. 98/2021, marks a significant reform in Indonesia’s carbon pricing governance, including the establishment of a National Steering Committee to oversee implementation and coordination. However, despite this progress, the regulatory transition continues to face challenges, particularly capacity gaps among sectoral ministries in developing derivative implementing regulations and translating the national framework into effective sectoral carbon pricing instruments. In response to this, the project of PRICE (Policy Regulatory Framework for Indonesia Carbon Pricing Ecosystem) refocuses its interventions on strengthening stakeholder understanding and institutional capacity to interpret and operationalize PR 110/2025 through policy gap analysis, stakeholder engagement, and targeted capacity building.
Job Highlight
The Analyst will support WRI Indonesia’s project, which involves assisting various government agencies with the implementation of carbon pricing components, particularly regarding the issuance of PR No. 110/2025. The consultant will also assist with analyzing the principles and procedures of carbon pricing, translating them from concepts into regulatory frameworks. This will take the form of continuous stakeholder engagement and the provision of substantive input on the regulations and drafts at the assigned ministerial level. The consultant will also be expected to ensure that their public policy analysis can be feasibly adopted by the regulatory authorities.
