Understanding the Presidential
Candidates’ Environmental Policies and
Potential Stances for the Carbon Market
Indonesia National Election 2024:
Policy Paper - October 2023
Pemilu 2024 Edition, No. 1
Given the critical importance and complexity of the upcoming election
for Indonesia's environmental policies and governance, including climate
change, this policy paper provides data and analysis for voters and other
stakeholders to make informed decisions about future candidates.
Ganjar, Anies, and Prabowo, with their extensive government
experience, have to be scrutinized by the public.

Therefore, the authors
emphasize several key points that should be carefully considered before
casting votes on February 14, 2024. As responsible voters and rational
partners, we must understand these criteria so that Indonesia can
continue establishing a sustainable environment for future generations.
One vital criterion for evaluating political parties and presidential
candidates is their past performance in addressing environmental issues
in Indonesia. This includes their ability to balance the interests of
businesses, political parties, and the community. While it is true that
business interests and political affiliations may sometimes overlap, what
matters most is the candidate's dedication to public interest/society's
needs. Examining their track record in navigating bureaucratic politics and
delivering on environmental promises is essential. For example, each
candidate has faced problems with different complexity within ecological
cases, such as the tenure conflicts between local communities and the
private sector, flooding in coastal areas, fires, and forest shrinkage in
Central Java. Meanwhile, the case in DKI Jakarta is rampant pollution,
flooding, land subsidence, water and environmental pollution. The central
government is encountering difficulties in tackling food security concerns
amidst deforestation and land clearance problems for the new capital city.
Candidate capacity to deliver the promises should be carefully evaluated
through achievement, trajectory, and criticism from the public found in
news articles, government reports, and past legislative actions. This report
will further analyze that in the following section.
The vision, mission, and policy strategies outlined by candidates are
crucial benchmarks for making an informed choice. When casting your
vote, consider whose vision and strategies are not only realistic but also
prioritize sustainable growth and environmental well-being. A candidate's
ability to articulate and implement ideas at both macro and micro levels is
a crucial indicator of their competence in addressing environmental
concerns. Moreover, voters have to evaluate whether or not environmental
issues are included on the top priority list of the vision and mission of each
candidate. While all three presidential candidates seem equally
committed to addressing climate issues in their vision and mission, voters'

for environmental sustainability
Executive Summary:
Key Takeaways
02
CarbonEthics Policy Paper - Pemilu 2024 Edition, No. 1
The environmental issues have been gaining public scrutiny in recent
years as public awareness from Indonesian people, especially among the
youth, is increasing. Voters have to consider this whole agenda by
checking the transparency and accountability of each candidate in
listening to critical inputs during the election. Criticism concerning
environmental protection is not limited to urban pollution but also
customary forest conflict, climate change protests/rallies, and other
human rights-related ecological justice issues should be heard and
incorporated into decision-making. Silencing criticism will be a red flag
for the voters to choose a candidate that could not be accountable and
transparent for their actions and future agenda.
4. Candidate transparency and accountability for
the whole election process
03
Implicit interests tied to political party alliances and campaign teams can
significantly impact a candidate's approach to environmental issues. To
assess this, examine the historical performance of the political party and
the influential figures supporting a candidate. It's crucial to determine
whether the political party holds a dominant position, which might allow
them to dictate the agenda of the elected leader, or if power dynamics are
more balanced. Additionally, analyze whether the campaign team
comprises a diverse range of interest groups, as this can influence a
candidate's stance on issues like climate change. In the context of
decarbonization, the party's commitment to renewable energy, reducing
dependence on fossil fuels, and climate justice need to be evaluated
firmly from its position on existing policies. Information about political
alliances and campaign teams can often be found in party manifestos,
endorsements, and media coverage.
Perspectives on the appropriate approach may vary. Ganjar emphasizes
market mechanisms for climate management, Anies strives to balance
government-society collaboration, and Prabowo concentrates on
mitigating and preventing environmental harm through a nationalistic
approach. Priority setting can inform the public of the interest and policy
expectations for future government conditions that often be gleaned
from their campaign materials, public speeches, and policy proposals.

CarbonEthics Policy Paper - Pemilu 2024 Edition, No. 1
Each candidate has a unique socio-economic and political background that will shape and direct
their environmental policies and governance. In this section, authors analyze publicly available
data, such as statements, experiences, trajectories, and endorsed policies put forth by each of the
presidential candidates. This analytical approach is particularly pertinent due to the shared
background of the three Indonesian presidential candidates who have held positions within the
executive domain of government, such as governor and minister. While differences may exist in
dimensions like their respective levels of authority and the scope of regional autonomy, they have
overseen. All three candidates converge on a critical intersection: their roles in shaping public
policies related to environmental concerns.
Indonesia is committed to the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to under 2 degrees Celsius
above pre-industrial levels. The country has pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 31.89%
by 2030 (unconditionally), possibly increasing it to 43.2% with international support
(conditionally). Therefore, this shared commitment to addressing environmental issues is
necessary to navigate the future of Indonesian environmental policies and governance. The
significance of examining their stances and actions in this realm is to educate the voters,
especially the younger generation, to evaluate each candidate during the campaign period and
polling date. This article has been crafted with factual information to provide an objective
perspective for Indonesian voters as they approach the national election.
In particular, this section focuses on the acceptance of each candidate toward the carbon market
mechanism that the Paris Agreement endorsed through mandatory and voluntary markets.
Indonesia has developed a fundamental framework for carbon pricing, including carbon emission
trading, offset emissions, result-based payments, and taxes, which are critical to accelerating
decarbonization within five major sectors: energy, forest and land use (FOLU), agriculture,
industrial processes and production use (IPPU), and waste. Matching and mapping this framework
based on each presidential candidate's campaign plan, personal traits/characteristics, and policy
direction are crucial to anticipate the leadership shift related to the environment, climate change,
and the carbon market in Indonesia over the next five years.
This paper summarizes the information in
the following table, highlighting the
critical information on understanding the
potential environmental policies and
governance made by the presidential
candidate in solving the pressing issue,
such as Climate Change through the
carbon market mechanism. It provides
insights from personal
traits/characteristics, financial and other
materials resources, and other influences -
political strategy to win the next election.

POV on environment and climate change
Advocate the adverse impact of Climate
Change and other environmental degradation,
declaring a "global climate crisis" instead of
just "climate change" or "global warming."
Alignment of economic development with
environmental sustainability and protection.
Recognizing the bottom-up approach, the right
to a good and healthy living environment is a
fundamental human right.
Market mechanisms, including the carbon
market, can work to solve environmental
problems.
Incentivize energy transition such as solar
energy, swamp gas, geothermal power, wind
power, and hydro to reduce emissions.
Business facilitation to enhance the circular
economy is a common trend for attracting
businesses.
Advocate the "Free-Active" political approach,
ensuring that the nation's interests are not
susceptible to being influenced by global
interests and remain grounded in national
independence.
Command control is necessary for companies
that have committed major violations of
environmental protection, such as pollution.
POV on the carbon market
Moderating market mechanism and government
control, emitter responsibility to pay the negative
externalities - focus on the carbon tax to aided
inclusive carbon trading - careful anticipation on
the free market mechanism.
The pro-market mechanism ensures business
community advantages on the carbon market and
trading to tap broader global opportunity and
promotes private investment to advance the
carbon pricing mechanism.
Prabowo has not explicitly stated his focus on
carbon trading. However, his goal is to promote a
vision of achieving national energy independence
that is more related to a command-control
approach - and tends to avoid a free market.

State-Society Enhancement to Market
Mechanism in Environmental Issues
ANIES BASWEDAN
As a social liberal and Muslim activist, Anies Baswedan's path to politics differs significantly from
another candidate. Before entering politics, he was deeply involved in research within various
institutions, served as the Chancellor of Paramadina University, and chaired the Indonesia
Mengajar. His political journey began with his active participation in the Democratic Party's
presidential candidate selection and the establishment of the Turun Tangan volunteer movement.
His political journey significantly turned in 2014 when Anies was appointed Minister of Education
and Culture. However, his tenure faced a reorganization, setting the stage for the next phase of
his career. Anies reached the pinnacle of his political career when he assumed the position of
Governor of DKI Jakarta, serving from 2017 to 2022. The support of Gerindra and PKS facilitated
his rise to the governor's role. During his time as Jakarta's Governor, Anies Baswedan implemented
a strategy based on collaboration, promoted a participatory approach to development, and upheld
the values of justice (Voice of Indonesia, 2021).
The most highlighted environmental
policies during his administration were
integrating public transportation, 0
percent down payment for houses,
cancellation of reclamation projects, flood
management through revitalization, and
construction of parks and low-emission
buildings. Some of these policies
experience challenges. The first problem
concerns air quality control in Jakarta,
which seems neglected even though the
DKI Jakarta Government has received a
guilty verdict from a lawsuit over air
pollution in 2021. Second, flood
management still needs to be addressed
and adapted according to the type of
flood. Third, the village planning process
still needs to be fully inclusive, as
happened in the case of the Aquarium
Village, where the right to housing has yet
to be guaranteed. Fourth, the draft
Regional Regulation on the Zoning Plan for
Coastal Areas and Small Islands
(RZWP3K) for DKI Jakarta, which has been
prepared, contains provisions that have
the potential to accelerate ecosystem
damage and usurpation of people's living
space and livelihoods (Megantara, 2021).
When the frontier islands are prone to
sinking, coastal areas are threatened with
erosion, the policies taken must also be
consistent, how do we save them.
But if what emerges is that we
allow the export of sea sand, then
the question is: How we create
policy consistency to respond to
the crisis this climate?
Anies Baswedan’s statement during Net Zero
Summit 2023 in Jakarta, Monday, 26/6/2023.
CarbonEthics Policy Paper - Pemilu 2024 Edition, No. 1
However, environmental development that emerged during Anies' administration can also be used
as evaluation material for other regional governments or the national government. In response to
the pollution issue, Anies issued Governor's Regulation 66/2020 concerning Vehicle Emission
Testing, Governor's Decree 71/2019 concerning Action Plans for the Acceleration of Regional
Strategic Activities, and Governor's Instruction 66/2019 concerning Air Quality Control. This
responsive attitude is proof of paying attention to environmental issues (Kompas, 2022).
Collaboration in the climate sector was also encouraged through meetings with the British
minister for international trade and the C40 agenda, which involved more than 40 countries to
complete climate action plans (Patnistik, 2021).
Anies Baswedan acknowledged climate issues related to decarbonization on two occasions, first
on the Indonesia Energy Transition Dialogue 2023, and second on the Mata Najwa: 3 Bacapres
Bicara Gagasan (Shihab, 2023; ICEF & IESR, 2023). One of the main points of discussion revealed
by Anies was Indonesia's ownership of national and international commitments from COP 29, COP
20, and other UNFCCC meetings. In his vision, economic growth and environmental preservation
are not contradictory things (Wardah, 2023). However, economic growth must be seen not only as
numbers but also as the quality produced. This means that the expected economic growth is an
economy whose impact is felt by all groups and all sectors, including the environment. To fulfill
this, he proposed five pillars that can be used as an approach. He stated this idea as "Towards
humanizing energy." The five pillars include 1) Holistic and sustainable governance, 2)
Collaboration between stakeholders, 3) Funding innovation, 4) Just energy transition, and 5)
Intervention on the demand and supply side.
In the fifth pillar, attention to upstream and downstream is said by Anies to be equally important.
From the upstream side, the proportion of renewable energy is still far from the target it should
be. Meanwhile, on the downstream side, there must be policy enforcement by strengthening
technical decarbonization policies according to science-based standards. Apart from that, the
policies formulated should foster behavioral changes towards a circular economy.
Anies, for the next election, will be accompanied by Abdul Muhaimin Iskandar, known as Cak
Imin, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives for welfare affairs, as his vice president
candidate that also general chairman of the PKB. He also has published the campaign materials
titled "Justice and Prosperous Indonesia for All." This document presents eight missions for the
presidential election campaign that include environmental and climate issues. The environment
has become the top three mission, while law-security is listed on numbers 7 and 8: detailed
information can be reviewed in Table 02.

Market Mechanism in Solving Environmental
Issues including Carbon Trading
GANJAR PRANOWO
Ganjar Pranowo is an accomplished politician from Central Java and has gained a reputation since
serving as a member of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR) from
2004–2009 and 2010–2013. Several impressive notes from Ganjar during this period were his
expertise in overseeing and ratifying the Political Party Law, Village Law, Law on the Position of
the DPR, DPD, DPRD, and MPR. Through the Indonesia Democratic Party of Struggle/Partai
Demokrasi Indonesia-Perjuangan (PDI-P), Ganjar occupied the position of Governor of Central Java
for the 2014–2019 and 2019–2023 periods. During this period, Ganjar mainstreamed policies
closely related to economic development and investment through bureaucratic efficiency, equal
distribution of education, trade facilitation, ease of doing business, and poverty.
Regarding environmental protection, Ganjar grappled with some disputes, notably in the Kendeng
Mountains involving the Semen Gresik factory construction. Despite protests, legal battles, and
the Supreme Court's permit revocation, Ganjar issued a new decree allowing the factory to
continue, sparking ongoing opposition. Agrarian conflicts also erupted in Wadas Village due to
andesite mining for the Bener Dam project, leading to clashes with authorities. As of November
2021, about 57.17% of Wadas land was acquired, with IDR 698 billion paid in compensation, while
administrative obstacles left 1,167 plots uncompensated, and 21% of affected residents refused
land acquisition (BBC News Indonesia, 2023; VICE Indonesia, 2022). Additionally, Ganjar's tenure
witnessed environmental conflicts related to coal power plant (PLTU) construction in Batang and
Cilacap (Saturi, 2014; Sucahyo, 2022).
This carbon trading
can be used (Solution),
so, the Western
(Developed
Countries/Global
North) can respect us.
And do not point out us
as always wrong, No.
Aside from the controversies surrounding agrarian and
environmental issues, Ganjar has a record of promoting
circular economic principles in Central Java, transitioning
from a linear to a circular economic model. This shift
extends the life cycle of products and resources, focusing
on sustainability. Central Java has implemented circular
practices in various areas, including Banjarnegara and
Magelang. For instance, Bantar Village in Banjarnegara
received aid for a Biogenic Shallow Gas (BSG) swamp gas
installation, benefiting residents. Tambak Village in
Magelang also received underground digesters to produce
biogas from tofu waste. These initiatives are part of the
Independent Energy Villages (DME) program in Central
Java, totaling 2,353 DMEs promoting energy transition.
Additionally, Ganjar emphasized a circular economy
approach to waste management through partnerships,
such as the one between Coca-Cola Europacific Partners
and Randugunting Village in Semarang (Fitriana, 2023).
Another notable policy under Ganjar's leadership involved
planting critical land areas, covering 251,037 ha or 39.5%
over eight years (Sucahyo, 2022). Furthermore, Ganjar
explored cooperation with the Swiss Government in
carbon trading by harnessing the potential of mangroves
in Central Java (Fitriana, 2022).

Meeting of the Association of Indonesian City
Governments (APEKSI) in Makassar, Tuesday,

CarbonEthics Policy Paper - Pemilu 2024 Edition, No. 1
Since declaring himself as a Presidential Candidate, Ganjar has been presented at several public
discussion forums such as "Kuliah Kebangsaan FISIP UI: Hendak Ke Mana Indonesia Kita?" and "3
Bacapres Bicara Gagasan" by Mata Najwa (Shihab, 2023; FISIP UI, 2023). Throughout this process,
Ganjar focuses on economic development, offering an economic growth transformation. In terms
of environment and climate, Ganjar acknowledged that global climate change is currently
worsening. However, at the same time, countries have made commitments through the Kyoto
Protocol, the Paris Agreement, and COP. Therefore, reducing gas emissions, a green economy, and
a blue economy are potential and must be implemented. He often promoted energy transition
policy in Central Java, targeting upgrade technology with international partners such as Norway.
According to him, digital infrastructure development and ease of business (EoB) are critical to
promoting environmental sustainability. He is keen to persuade market mechanisms in managing
environmental issues in Indonesia, including the carbon market. Ganjar emphasized the
importance of the country being present in the investment climate. For him, investment must be
one of the primary sources of economic growth because it impacts employment.
Ganjar, for the next election, will be accompanied by Mohammad Mahfud Mahmodor, well known
as Mahfud MD, currently serves as coordinating minister for political, legal and security affairs
(non-party), as his vice president candidate. Mahfud, with extensive law background, could boost
his candidacy for the next election, sending a message for greater law enforcement and a balance
of economic, environmental, and good governance for the whole nation. He also has published the
campaign materials titled "Ganjar Pranowo & Mahfud MD 2024-2029 towards an excellent
Indonesia, rapid changes to create a just and sustainable maritime country". This document
provides eight missions for the presidential election campaign, including environmental and
climate issues that are strongly mentioned in mission 6. In contrast, missions 1-5 focus on
economics, and 7-8 on law-security. Detailed information can be reviewed in Table 03.

Before running for the 2024 election, Prabowo had contested the election three times. He started
his political career at the Golkar party presidential candidate convention 2004. Four years later,
Prabowo founded the Gerindra Party with his younger brother. However, he only officially obtained
a position in the government in 2019 as defense minister after failing to compete to become the
opposition in the election contestation. These appointments were made so the government could
gain control over the opposition in parliament. However, Prabowo is now running as the candidate
with the greatest desire to continue Jokowi's work program. At first glance, the ideas expressed
by Prabowo from the 2014 Election to the 2024 Election are similar; all three bring an ultranationalist point of view that aims to protect national resources from potential external
exploitation that does not align with the national interest. However, Prabowo recently
differentiated his new vision, coated with a Jokowi-style development mandate.
12
Resource Nationalism and Command Control in
Environmental Governance
PRABOWO SUBIANTO
Prabowo's performance as Minister of Defense
is in the spotlight because since he took office,
Indonesia has increased its capacity to export
domestic military products, as marked by an
active defense cooperation agreement (DCA)
(Ramalan, 2022). He also raised the defense
budget by 13,28%, amounting to IDR 134
trillion in 2022, which was used to update
defense equipment (Shafira, 2022). However,
several programs led by Prabowo also found a
series of cases. As happened with the Food
Estate project worth Rp. 1.5 trillion, where the
rumored program failed in several areas
because it was oriented towards uniformity of
food for the community (CNN Indonesia, 2023).
Problems in food estate projects also involve
environmental damage because land
conversion is not carried out optimally.
Moreover, during "3 Bacapres Bicara Gagasan"
by Mata Najwa (Shihab, 2023). In this case, he
targets Indonesia to reach the top 5 in world
GDP with GDP growth of $7.5 trillion.
Therefore, Prabowo set 17 priority programs
that must be implemented to achieve this
vision. Out of the 17 programs, the most
related to environmental change issues are the
food self-sufficiency program, water selfsufficiency, energy self-sufficiency,
downstreaming, and industrialization,
developing IKN for equality, strengthening
science and technology, environmental
security, and sustainability.
The great thing about being selfsufficient in fuel from renewable energy,
where does it come from? We are now
the largest palm oil producer in the
world. Our production is probably 25
million tons. Our needs are six to seven
million for cooking oil, the rest we can
use for diesel [...] It turns out we can
make Pertamax gasoline and so on from
ethanol, and
where can we get ethanol from?
From sugar cane, bioethanol
from sugar cane, and our plan is
to plant sugar cane on a large
scale
Prabowo Subianto’s statement during Deklarasi
Matahari 08 in South Jakarta, Monday, 15/10/2023.

Prabowo emphasized that the food, water, and energy self-sufficiency program is a form of
national independence that is important to realize because it affects Indonesia's position
internationally. He conveyed this as a desire to become the world's food granary, as well as
expanding water accessibility to unreached areas. However, programs regarding energy selfsufficiency and environmental preservation were kept a secret during the ideas competition. He
only mentioned that it is rich in vegetable energy, but it has yet to be utilized optimally. Even
diesel fuel can be produced from plants such as oil palm, cassava, and sago. Meanwhile, he
described downstream and industrialization with the example of a case in Japan, how an oil
refinery could carry out smelterization, industrial processing, and distribution to more than
40,000 companies. In this way, Prabowo believes that if Indonesia drastically stops exports of raw
goods and starts massive domestic downstream, it can increase the added value significantly.
Based on the opportunities he has had, Prabowo has not touched on discussions about
decarbonization, including carbon trading. Prabowo's discussion of environmental issues is more
focused on corruption problems that occur in the company's environmental licensing system. At
the same time, he wants more accessible investment in the country to open up more excellent
employment opportunities. If drawn in one line, it can be said that Prabowo will consider carbon
trading as long as this instrument can be seen as a profitable investment of national interest.
Prabowo, for the next election, will be accompanied by Gibran Rakabuming, well known as
Gibran, a PDI-P politician who won the Solo mayoral election 2020 following his father's
trajectory (Joko Widodo) as top executive government leader in Indonesia, as his vice president
candidate. He also has published the campaign materials titled "Together with Indonesia
Advancing." This document presents eight missions for the presidential election campaign that
include environmental and climate issues. The campaign document listed three tasks from lawsecurity, four economic development, and one environment in the last, detailed in Table 04.

Underlying Network Structure and Political Parties Supporting
Each of Presidential Candidates
In Indonesia, each presidential candidate should receive endorsement from the political party or
coalition eligible to meet the presidential threshold. Therefore, it is impossible to separate the
presidential candidate from political party support and network to succeed in the election process
and maximize power in controlling the parliament legislation roles. William Riker (1984) through
his work, explains political coalitions through the theory of Minimal Winning Coalitions (MWC).
According to Riker, the government should be formed with a team that guarantees a minimum
victory.
In this case, criteria such as shared vision, ideology, and policy ideas are not the primary
consideration. As a result, the formed coalitions tend to be office-seeking oriented. This tendency
puts strategic positions in the cabinet, institutions, or government agencies in a dilemma because
they have to provide seats for the elite of their coalition political parties. On the other hand, this
scheme also has implications for the formation of policies that benefit elites because bargaining
over interests is not based on objective assessments but rather on profit gain.
This paper will analyze initiatives involved in establishing partnerships with political parties that
align with individual presidential candidates. Through this structural network, we strive to clarify
how political parties direct their interests toward the ideologies and platforms of presidential
candidates. Furthermore, this section analyzes information on the interests of political party
coalitions and the winning presidential team in the context of their shared goal of advancing
environmental sustainability in Indonesia. Before a deep dive into each candidate coalition party,
this report provides a brief understanding of seated political parties in the House of
Representatives (DPR) regarding some necessary environmental regulations in Indonesia.

| Major political parties agrees to reduce national subsidies for fosil fuels. It is non popular stance to be taken by the parties in general. Agree: | PKS rejected the proposed hike in fuel prices as the demand for subsidized fuel and gas remained within the safe limits of the available quota. Democrats urged the cancellation of the fuel price hike due to its potential heavy impact on residents of small and medium-sized economies. Gerindra rejects the policy of increasing subsidized fuel prices and encourages the government to look for other options. Disagree: |

The initial coalition comprised two parliamentary parties and two extraparliamentary supporting
parties. This coalition, under the leadership of PDI-P, which held the most seats in the DPR RI,
strategically aimed to continue the critical programs of the previous Joko Widodo government.
With a catch-all party strategy implemented in the preceding election period, the PDI-P, as the
predominant party in parliament, successfully allocated strategic ministerial positions to six of its
members. In the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet, the composition of ministers included 16 political
party members and 18 non-political party members. This is an illustrative example of how
the PDI-P era accommodated numerous positions for political parties seeking to join its coalition.
If we look at the composition of the existing coalition, the existence of PPP, Perindo, and Hanura
has contributed little to the total proportion of votes available. PDI-P holds 22.26% of parliament,
PPP contributes 3.3%, while Perindo and Hanura are parties that still need to meet the
parliamentary threshold. Even though the percentage reaching the presidential point has been
compared with a total of 25.56%, this composition still needs to be dominant enough to pass
easily in the first round of elections.
Despite its business interests, the coalition's partial assessment of climate change and
environmental issues was checked with official public statements in parliament. PDI-P in the
2019–2024 AD/ART paragraph 4 of article 19 paragraph (2) letter c states that the Industry, Labor,
and Social Security Sector is tasked with encouraging investment policies to accelerate economic
growth that is just and environmentally friendly (Gitawan and Xaviera, 2023). Meanwhile, PPP
does not include a vision and mission or public statements regarding concern for the environment
or climate change. Hanura itself consists of an image and mission to build a national economic
system that is environmentally friendly and oriented towards a people's economy. Perindo did not
mention monitoring environmental issues in the AD/ART or the party's vision and mission.

The Coalition for Change for Unity was initially initiated by the opposition (Nasdem, PKS, and
Demokrat). However, this coalition has experienced a transition since the departure of the
Democratic Party and the joining of the PKB into the group. Even though this coalition offers the
idea of change, the existence of two parties that have positions in the cabinet, namely Nasdem
and PKB, makes the coalition's stance on this narrative rhetorical or questionable. The main
anchor of this coalition is Anies Baswedan, driven by Nasdem through the appointment of Surya
Paloh (Fajarta, 2022). Moreover, since the entry of the PKB, this coalition was stated by Muhaimin
Iskandar to continue the development program during the Jokowi administration (Putra, 2023b).
The narrative that emerges increasingly diminishes the purity of the change agenda being
brought.
In this coalition, the three main parties have a proportion of seats in parliament that is similar.
Nasdem, the alliance's leader, has 10.26% of the vote, followed by PKB with 10.09% and PKS with
8.7%. So, the total vote held by the Coalition for Change for Unity is 28.96%. Meanwhile, the
Ummat Party is a new party based on conservative Islam and has just entered the contest as an
election participant for the first time. This proportion of votes that are almost equal to each other
opens up more significant opportunities for political parties to share interests more fairly.
However, PKS has made more compromises regarding the political maneuvers of Nasdem and PKB
in the presidential election.
Meanwhile, from the PKB side, there are no names of conglomerate entrepreneurs who have been
highlighted and involved in prestigious campaign funding. The mass base of PKB support is more
towards the Islamic community of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the grassroots in suburban and rural
areas. Likewise with PKS, the majority of actors who helped in winning this election were MSME
entrepreneurs with Islamic principles (PKS, 2023).

Then, the manifestation of concern for climate issues from the coalition for change is also
recognized through public information tools based on statements, visions, or internal regulations
of political parties. The Nasdem Party supports the use of fossil energy for national interests and
the development of nuclear power and renewable energy according to the AD/ART in the
"Economic and Development Directions" section (Gitawan and Xaviera, 2023). For PKS itself,
although it is not explicitly stated in its AD/ART, this party promotes the vision of Rahmatan Lil
Alamin, which means goodness for the environment and the universe (Gitawan and Xaviera, 2023).
Apart from that, PKS has a unique platform on environmental issues, namely Indonesia Hijau and
Indonesia Madani. On the other hand, PKB does not include anything related to environmental
concerns or climate change, but PKB has declared itself a "green party" since 2007. Until now,
PKB has also been one of the proposers of the Climate Justice Bill to be included in the DPR RI's
National Legislation Program (Gitawan and Xaviera, 2023). However, recently, PKB, through
Muhaimin, made a populist promise in the form of free fuel for motorbike and public transport
drivers. This also contradicts the image of PKB in the media as an environmentally friendly party.
The Ummat Party's information regarding environmental issues is also not found in its vision,
mission, or party declaration. However, the Ummat Party is one of the parties that has voiced its
opposition to sand exports (Media Indonesia, 2023).
Compared to the two previous coalitions, the Advanced Indonesia Coalition is the coalition axis
with the most political party members in parliament, especially after the entry of the Demokrat
Party into this camp. Apart from that, there are five parties, namely PSI, Garuda Party, Gelora
Party, and PBB, that are outside the parliament. This coalition is led by Gerindra, which nominates
its own General Chair. This coalition is based on national development, which continues to fertilize
the foundations formed by Jokowi's leadership (Raharjo, 2023b). Not much different from the
coalition spearheaded by PDI-P, this axis is filled by incumbents, including Golkar, Gerindra, and
PAN. A significant difference is how this coalition received full support from Projo volunteers who
were previously formed as Jokowi's support team in the 2019 elections (BBC News Indonesia,
2023b). This gives a sign that the Advanced Indonesia Coalition has a similar style as the brand of
this coalition was also taken from Jokowi's government cabinet (Advanced Indonesia Cabinet)
(Raharjo, 2023a).
Quantitatively, the proportion of seats won in the DPR in this coalition is the largest. It is starting
from Gerindra, which has 13.57%, Golkar with 14.7%, Demokrat with 9.39%, and PAN with 7.65%.
The total accumulated votes even reached 45.39%, or almost half of all political parties that
make up the DPR-RI faction. In terms of proportions in this coalition, members have positions that
tend to be balanced with each other. Gerindra even has fewer seats than Golkar, but support for
this coalition remains solid even though it is not clear whether Golkar's elite will occupy strategic
positions in the future cabinet. If we evaluate PAN and Demokrat, both have a track record
supporting Gerindra in the 2019 elections. However, if we consider the timeline for establishing
the coalition, PAN has an advantage over Demokrat because it can be considered a loyal alliance
member.
What is the position of the Advanced Indonesia Coalition on the issue of climate change and the
environment? Gerindra noted that good environmental resource management must include local
government and indigenous communities in its party manifesto (Gitawan and Xaviera, 2023). The
second mission of the Gerindra Party also emphasizes sustainable economic growth. In this case,
the Gerindra Party also monitors many issues related to renewable energy, especially in
Indonesia Maju (Gerindra, Demokrat, PAN, Golkar, Gelora, PSI, Garuda and PBB)
to support Prabowo-Gibran
CarbonEthics Policy Paper - Pemilu 2024 Edition, No. 1
the context of moving IKN and electric vehicles. On the other hand, Golkar only states its vision to
create an Indonesian society that is legally and environmentally conscious. One of the solutions
pushed to overcome climate change by the Golkar party is supporting the blue economy,
implementing a carbon tax for PLTUs, and transitioning to renewable energy (Gitawan and
Xaviera, 2023). Meanwhile, although PAN does not express ideas about the environment in its
party's vision and mission, they have a platform in the form of the Birukan Langit Indonesia
movement. This platform encourages young people to participate in environmental issues. PAN is
also the proponent of the Climate Change Management Bill (PPI) and supports the green economy
program as an ecological development solution (Gitawan and Xaviera, 2023). Then, the
Democratic Party stated that it would uphold environmental sustainability in its party's vision.
However, this party needs to be more vocal in voicing ecological problems, especially solutions to
overcome climate change.
To comprehend the influence of coalition composition on agenda setting, it's essential first to
understand the dynamics of business and political interactions in Indonesia. Yuki Fukuoka's 2012
article sheds light on the intricate relationship between business, politics, and the state in the
post-New Order era, describing it as an oligarchic patrimonial governance. This system stems
from suboptimal implementation of institutional reforms, allowing business elites to exploit
opportunities. In essence, they leverage access to the state through acquiring positions or
concessions to amass wealth, often playing a pivotal role in shaping the political party coalitions
that drive entrepreneurial interests.
However, such activities to advance personal interests through government channels, often at the
state's expense, fall under the umbrella of corruption. Notably, in the environmental sector, the
most significant crime category involves policy manipulation, where officials are roped in to favor
specific groups (Dermawan et al., 2011). Various factors enable such corruption, including the
concentration of decision-makers, opaque decision-making processes, substantial public capital,
and pervasive conflicts of interest.

This article will illustrate the risks inherent in mapping support for presidential candidates
within decarbonization efforts, focusing on two primary sectors: energy, particularly coal, and
forestry. In the coal sector, a decade of prevailing energy policies has entrenched coal as the
dominant energy source (Ordonez et al., 2022), primarily due to populist policies ensuring
affordable energy for the populace. As a result, domestic demand for coal has grown. At the
same time, the transition to renewable energy has faltered due to the absence of a competitive
market for alternative energy sources, further exacerbated by coal mining entrepreneurs who
now hold significant sway in policy-making. Despite ambitious decarbonization goals, conflicts
of interest among policy-makers still need to be solved.
Meanwhile, corruption risks within decarbonization efforts in the forestry sector are evident in
implementing REDD+. Although reforestation-oriented climate mitigation seems like a win-win
solution for a green economy, discrepancies arising from conflicting actor interests pose a
significant challenge (Elliott and Setyowati, 2020). Furthermore, issuing a moratorium on forest
conversion restrictions prompted swift reactions from palm oil and mining entrepreneurs. Studies
have also revealed that REDD+ fails to ensure equitable benefit distribution, often marginalizing
indigenous communities and sparking tenure disputes.
These examples indicate the importance of considering the cabinet's composition, formed by a
coalition of political parties supporting the presidential candidate. It's crucial to acknowledge
that if the candidate's agenda aligns differently with the coalition's priorities, the likelihood of
successful implementation increases. Moreover, in a political landscape characterized by
patronage and oligarchy, the dynamics among coalition members can substantially impact
governance. Much of the presidential election discourse revolves around how the losing candidate
and parties can influence the parliament. The absence of formal opposition, as per the Indonesian
constitution, often drives short-sighted political negotiations.

3 Conclusion
With the registration period now concluded, the Indonesian General Election
Commission (KPU) has officially announced three pairs of vice-presidential
and presidential candidates: Ganjar Pranowo - Mahfud MD, Anies Baswedan -
Cak Imin, and Prabowo Subianto - Gibran Rakabuming. Each has extensive
governmental background and diverse understanding, aspirations, and
strategies for Indonesian environmental policies and governance. Each
candidate possesses extensive experience in government and offers various
perspectives, aspirations, and strategies for shaping Indonesian ecological
policies and management.
Anies and his campaign team are focusing on mitigating the impacts of
climate change through a combination of stringent government regulations
and market mechanisms. Ganjar, on the other hand, advocates a more
business and investment-centric approach to foster market mechanisms in
addressing environmental challenges. Meanwhile, Prabowo's process
involves a command and control strategy strongly emphasizing natural
resource nationalism. Each system has pros and cons for ecological
protection and acceptance within diverse communities, especially
businesses, and youth who become significant voters (52%) in the election.
Political parties also play essential roles in upcoming elections as the
coalition is established to meet the interests of diverse groups. Prabowo's
coalition support by eight political parties, including Gerinda, Golkar,
Demokrat, and PAN, has a strong basis across Indonesia with strong
connections with diverse business communities from energy, forestry, and
industry. A similar case for Ganjar represented coalition support from PDIP,
PPP, Hanura, and Perindo, which can compete for the specific business
communities eager to transform the practices through carbon market
trading. Anies, with a smaller coalition comprising Nasdem, PKS, PKB, and
Ummat, focuses on building a compelling narrative about the environment,
mainly targeting Muslims in Indonesia through various social platforms.
The vision and mission document has been analyzed in section one to
understand each candidate's priority and stance for environmental
protection, including market mechanisms in solving climate change through
carbon trading. Political coalitions and networks concerning candidate
supporters and donors should also be analyzed, as Indonesian politics still
needed to allow independent presidential candidates due to the threshold
from the eligible parties. Lastly, every stakeholder must recognize the
transparency and accountability for the whole process of the next election.
Please cast your vote for the country, and choose wisely the country leader
that can deliver their promises in restoring environmental conditions to the
limited planetary boundaries. Critics and question your candidate to solidify
your decision in choosing the right leader with solid environmental
leadership and justice for all. Lastly, regardless of your preference, we have
to respect each candidate and their support in democratic ways. Voicing
your voice should not inflict open-violent conflict for all, as environmental
sustainability underline the interconnection of societal justice,
environmental stake, and economic stability for now and future generation.
