JAKARTA - Bali Common Principles in Accelerating Clean Energy Transitions (Compact) which was agreed in the G20 Energy Transition Forum early last September, could be a legacy from Indonesia to the G20.

Expert Staff for Strategic Planning at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Yudo Dwinanda Priaadi said, in the future Bali Compact will be a milestone in the world's energy transition, and Indonesia will leave a valuable legacy to achieve net zero emissions globally.

"The principles that exist in Bali Compact will become a legacy, and we hope that we will be able to color all the implementation of the energy transition in the G20 countries," Yudo said in his statement, Wednesday, November 9.

Furthermore, Yudo said that it is not impossible if the principles in Bali Compact can be utilized by countries outside the G20, because Bali Compact is high level and gets various inputs from various wishes of G20 member countries so that they can be unified and mutually agreed upon.

"Many G20 member countries think this goes beyond the G20, this can be applied outside the G20 country," he continued.

Bali compact, said Yudo, is something that is offered by Indonesia in the G20 energy transition forum, where every G20 member country already has a plan and starts to achieve their respective net zero emissions targets.

So that ideas emerged containing the principles to implement and accelerate NZE, which was then discussed until finally the G20 member countries reached a consensus which was later named Bali Compact.

"Bali compact contains nine main principles of accelerating the energy transition by considering benefits to all parties and without a one left behind, all agree that in carrying out the energy transition without anyone remaining behind," concluded Yudo.
