Created in 2018 as part of a World Green Building Council initiative, GBC Indonesia Advancing Net Zero programme has amission to lead the Indonesian transition to a net zero built environment. It has produced leading guidance such as the Net Zero Carbon Buildings Framework and the Net Zero Whole Life Carbon Roadmap, whilst working with organisations and experts across the industry.

GBC Indonesia demonstrates a strong commitment toward achieving Net Zero buildings as part of its mission to transform the Indonesian building sector into a more environmentally friendly, sustainable, and efficient industry. This commitment is reflected in their active promotion of green building practices, certification programs tailored to Indonesian needs, and advocacy for policy changes that support sustainability in construction and design. GBC Indonesia engages with stakeholders across the construction industry, including developers, architects, and the government, to facilitate the adoption of sustainable practices and technologies. Through educational initiatives, workshops, and partnerships, GBC Indonesia aims to raise awareness about the benefits of Net Zero buildings and provide the necessary tools and knowledge to achieve these goals. Their efforts are crucial in paving the way for Indonesia to reduce its carbon footprint, enhance energy efficiency, and promote a healthier, more sustainable future for its urban environments.

3 Key Elements
of the Paris
Agreement on
Climate Change
The Agreement sets long-term goals to guide all nations to:
Commitments from all countries to reduce their emissions and work together to adapt to the impacts of climate change, and calls on countries to strengthen their commitments over time. The Agreement provides a pathway for developed nations to assist developing nations in their climate mitigation and adaptation efforts while creating a framework for the transparent monitoring and reporting of countries’ climate goals.
The Paris Agreement provides a durable framework guiding the global effort for decades to come. It marks the beginning of a shift towards a net-zero emissions world. Implementation of the Agreement is also essential for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The science shows clearly that in order to avert the worst impacts of climate change and preserve a livable planet, global temperature increase needs to be limited to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Currently, the Earth is already about 1.1°C warmer than it was in the late 1800s, and emissions continue to rise. To keep global warming to no more than 1.5°C – as called for in the Paris Agreement – emissions need to be reduced by 45% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050.
Transitioning to a net-zero world is one of the greatest challenges humankind has faced. It calls for nothing less than a complete transformation of how we produce, consume, and move about. The energy sector is the source of around three-quarters of greenhouse gas emissions today and holds the key to averting the worst effects of climate change. Replacing polluting coal, gas and oil-fired power with energy from renewable sources, such as wind or solar, would dramatically reduce carbon emissions.
Yes, a growing coalition of countries, cities, businesses and other institutions are pledging to get to net-zero emissions. More than 140 countries, including the biggest polluters – China, the United States, India and the European Union – have set a net-zero target, covering about 88% of global emissions. More than 9,000 companies, over 1000 cities, more than 1000 educational institutions, and over 600 financial institutions have joined the Race to Zero, pledging to take rigorous, immediate action to halve global emissions by 2030.

WorldGBC acknowledges that net zero energy buildings, buildings that generate 100% of their
energy needs onsite, are not feasible in most situations and that net-zero embodied carbon
should be pursued as part of a whole-life approach to carbon reduction that includes net zero
operational carbon.
Therefore, for the mass scale required to achieve the urgent and significant carbon reductions
needed to meet the IPCC guidance, a net zero carbon vision that recognises the time value of
carbon emissions from materials and construction and the role of offsets in facilitating the
transition is more appropriate.
Our belief is that this enormous challenge can be met through radical cross-sector
collaboration, and our Green Building Councils are at the forefront of this.
Definition
When the amount of carbon dioxide emissions associated with building operations on an annual basis is reduced (highly energy efficient and fully powered from on-site and/or off-site renewable energy sources) to a level that is consistent with reaching net zero at the global or sector level in 1.5oC pathways. Any residual emissions that remain unfeasible to eliminate should be neutralised through carbon removals.
Guiding Principles
Definition
When, in addition to net zero operational carbon, upfront carbon and other embodied carbon across the building lifecycle is reduced to a level that is consistent with reaching net zero at the global or sector level in 1.5oC pathways. Any residual emissions that remain unfeasible to eliminate should be neutralised through carbon removals.
Guiding Principles
Indonesia’s GFA is expected to grow to 7 billion Square Meters by 2050. That will be 700 million tons of CO2 emission/year, or 300 million tons more than today or equivalent to around 12 billion more trees.
GBC Indonesia is an Established Member of World Green Building Council. World GBC is a global action network comprised of around 70 Green Building Councils around the globe.
