Indonesia Has the Potential to Create 8–13 Million Green Jobs

The Young Innovation Report found a gap between understanding sustainability and the competencies required by industry. These gaps include certification, work experience, technical ability, curriculum relevance, learning facilities, and access to green jobs.

As many as 54 percent of respondents in the report assessed that government support for preparing young talents to face the green economic transition was not optimal.

The 2026 Green Jobs Ecosystem Forum also discusses strengthening vocational education, competency certification, aligning the curriculum with industry needs, and expanding access to learning and working in the green sector.

Green jobs are not only in the renewable energy sector. Labor needs are also growing in low-emission industries, waste management, sustainable agriculture, transportation, conservation, sustainable finance and the circular economy.

Workforce development is deemed necessary to include technical abilities, non-technical abilities, and the capacity to adapt to technological developments.
