Continued engagement at the UN Global Compact Leaders Summit (24 September 2025)
The collaboration continued during the UN Global Compact Leaders Summit on 24 September 2025, when the partners presented their respective initiatives and shared plans for joint implementation at the UN Global Compact Hub. The Summit provided an opportunity to align programming, share best practices, and invite broader stakeholder participation.
What the partnership will deliver
Through the combined platforms of the Bappenas SDG Academy, IGCN Academy, and Pertamina Sustainability Academy, the partnership will focus on three core pillars:
- Strengthen capacities — develop targeted training and learning pathways for government officials, corporate practitioners, academics, and community leaders.
- Accelerate the energy transition — scale up practical, finance-ready actions to decarbonize energy systems while ensuring a just and inclusive transition.
- Unite government, business, academia & communities — create multi-sectoral platforms for knowledge exchange, pilot projects, and shared accountability mechanisms.
Joint approach and next steps
The partners commit to a collaborative approach that combines policy alignment, corporate action, and capacity building. Immediate next steps include jointly developed training modules, pilot initiatives that demonstrate low-carbon technologies and business models, and a shared monitoring framework to track progress against SDG targets and the Vision Indonesia Emas 2045 milestones.
Why this matters
Indonesia’s ambition for a prosperous, equitable, and sustainable future by 2045 requires coordinated action across sectors. By bringing together national planning expertise (Bappenas), private-sector scale and operational know-how (Pertamina), and the UN Global Compact’s global sustainability platform (IGCN), the partnership aims to catalyse faster, more inclusive progress toward national and global goals.
