Indonesia’s carbon tax scheme, which was set to go into force in July, could be postponed due to global economic volatility and to give authorities time to prepare, according to a government official.
Indonesia, the world’s largest thermal coal exporter and the 10th biggest carbon emitter in the world, had pledged to achieve net zero emissions by 2060. To attain this goal, the long-awaited carbon tax has been considered as a key tool and financial incentive to promote emission reduction.
