To support energy transition and the green economy, the Indonesian government has officially established a cross-departmental special task force, led by Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, Airlangga Hartarto. This task force will coordinate discussions with senior government officials and organizations.
Additionally, in response to the United States’ decision to stop funding the JETP energy transition initiative, Airlangga reassured the public after a meeting with other funding members, stating that the JETP program would remain unaffected, and the total amount of aid would stay the same.

Airlangga signed the decree to formally establish the task force on March 17, with Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, Coordinating Infrastructure and Regional Development Minister, serving as the Deputy head. Key cabinet ministers, including the Minister of State Secretary, Minister of Home Affairs, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Finance, and Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology, are part of the task force.
