Indonesia approves four forest carbon projects, launches national registry

Indonesia approved four forest carbon projects on 6 July 2026, covering 225,000 hectares and expected to yield over 30 million carbon credits through Verra and Plan Vivo. This marks the end of a moratorium on international standard credit issuance that began in 2021. Concurrently, Indonesia signed an MOU with Singapore for Article 6 collaboration and launched its national carbon registry (SRUK) on 9 July 2026. The SRUK is designed to ensure traceability, prevent double counting, and connect with international systems, making it the first national registry aligned with the G20’s Common Carbon Credit Data Model.
