Apply Now: Climate Impact innovations Challenge (Indonesia)

Tracks

• Energy Transition
  • As one of the world’s largest energy producers, Indonesia is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2060 or sooner. To meet this goal, a transition to greener energy production is essential.
  • Therefore, they are seeking innovative solutions that promote renewable energy adoption, sustainable mobility systems, and efficient resource use. Their goal is to enable inclusive, cost-effective energy transitions that benefit communities and industries while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • What they look out for in a solution:
    • Promote renewable energy adoption and its supporting technologies.
    • Develop sustainable mobility systems alongside the necessary infrastructure.
    • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industrial sectors (incl. manufacturing, energy efficiency measures, and refrigeration systems, etc.)
    • Be technology-driven, economically viable, and scalable for market adoption, particularly in Indonesia.
• Sustainable Agriculture
  • Agriculture and land use practices are the largest sources of Indonesia’s emissions. While urgent climate mitigation is essential, ensuring food security for its 270 million people remains equally critical.
  • Hence, they are seeking innovative solutions that promote sustainable food systems, resilient agricultural and aquaculture practices, and nature-based solutions. Their goal is to implement scalable, inclusive strategies that enhance the livelihoods of farmers and fishermen, ensure food security, restore ecological balance, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • What they look out for in a solution:
    • Enhance food security while minimizing environmental and social impacts.
    • Increase agricultural and aquaculture productivity while ensuring resilience adapting to climate change.
    • Nature-based solutions that generate high-integrity carbon credits and its support ecosystem technologies.
    • Be technology-driven, economically viable, and scalable for market adoption, particularly in Indonesia.
• Circular Economy
  • Indonesia has a mounting waste problem while facing increasing water scarcity projection by 2045. At the same time, strengthening resilience to climate-related disasters is crucial for fostering sustainable economic growth.
  • Therefore, they are seeking innovative solutions that promote both waste and water circularity and help adapt to climate-related disasters. Their goal is to prevent and manage pollution, improve community health, enhance resilience to climate change impacts, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • What they look out for in a solution:
    • Advance waste circularity through technology that prevents waste generation, transforms waste into valuable materials, and extends product lifespans.
    • Enhance water availability, accessibility, and quality for communities.
    • Strengthen climate adaptation efforts to improve resilience of the livelihoods.
    • Be technology-driven, economically viable, and scalable for market adoption, particularly in Indonesia.
