Ministry of Forestry Prepares Young Talents for Carbon Economy and Forest Conservation

JAKARTA, GARISBUMI.com – The Ministry of Forestry is encouraging the younger generation to take a bigger role in the growth of the carbon economy and the transformation towards a green economy. Young people are not only expected to care about forests, but also master technology, innovation, research and green entrepreneurship.

These efforts are carried out through the Forest Conservation Generation Development Center (Pusgenri), one of which is by involving the younger generation in the 2026 Indonesian Responsible Business and IRBA Forum Meeting in Jakarta, Thursday (24/9/2026).

The 2026 IRBA Forum discussed the relationship between readiness to face carbon trading or carbon readiness, FOLU Net Sink targets 2030, Net Zero Emission 2060, green financing, innovation, human resource development, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.

This agenda brings together representatives of the government, business world, regulators, investors, financial institutions, academics, practitioners and the younger generation.

Head of Pusgenri Ministry of Forestry, Luckmi Purwandari, said the transformation towards a low-carbon economy requires young talent who understand environmental issues while being able to adapt to technological developments, innovation and the needs of the business world.

"It is not enough for the younger generation to just be recipients of information about changes towards a low-carbon economy. They need to be present as part of the ecosystem, build competence, expand networks, and find space to contribute through innovation and real action," said Luckmi.
