The first meeting of the Australia-Indonesia Energy Transition Policy Dialogue was held in Canberra, Jakarta and online on 6 December 2022.
The Dialogue continues the focus on cooperation between Australia and Indonesia on the practical, policy and financial aspects of energy transition that emerged from the successful G20 Seminar Series CPD co-convened in Jakarta in July 2022 with the G20 Energy Transition Working Group, Climateworks Centre, the Institute of Essential Services Reform (IESR), Indonesia Research Institute for Decarbonization (IRID) and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).
Dialogue participants reflected on the progress and momentum obtained at G20, and its implications for a swift, orderly and just energy transition across the countries and in the region.
