As the world affairs change drastically and resource prices rise, countries around the world are in need of accelerating the transition to a zero-carbon society while maintaining a stable supply of energy. Energy saving and renewable energy by advanced decarbonizing technologies are also becoming increasingly important. The JCM Financing Programme by the Government of Japan promotes the deployment and diffusion of decarbonizing technologies in the JCM partner countries such as Indonesia and contributes to the achievement of NDC in each country. In this webinar, the Financing Programme for JCM Model Projects*2 was focused and discussed in detail, and good examples of projects that utilize the Programme were introduced.
