Program Overview
The Bali Net Zero Emission (NZE) 2045 Initiative is based on the belief that strong local government leadership and active participation from society are essential to ensure the net zero agenda remains resilient and embedded as a long-term development pathway, regardless of political transitions. Achieving this goal requires coordinated action among diverse stakeholders to deliver lasting climate, social, and economic impacts. Established in 2024, the Bali Net Zero Emission Coalition brings together five organizations, Azura Indonesia, CAST Foundation, the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), New Energy Nexus Indonesia, and WRI Indonesia, working on climate-related issues in Bali. The Coalition serves as a platform to align actions, knowledge, experience, and networks in support of achieving Bali NZE 2045. The Coalition has three core objectives: promoting green economic development that integrates environmental and social sustainability based on Bali’s local values; facilitating climate-based solutions and low-carbon innovation; and bridging government, communities, academia, the private sector, and development partners to support the development and implementation of climate policies and solutions. Its work is organized around four pillars: evidence-based climate policy advocacy; implementation of scalable climate solutions; multi-stakeholder collaboration to advance the Bali NZE 2045 commitment; and the expansion of climate policies and solutions in Bali and beyond.
