Evidence for Indonesia's climate transition
How we got here
A research group forms
A group of UI researchers begins working on climate budget analysis for the Ministry of Finance.
First policy brief
The founding group publishes its first climate budget tagging brief and pilots the methodology with two provincial governments.
CCSF is established
The centre is formally established under the Institute for Sustainable Earth and Resources (ISER UI) at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Indonesia.
First multilateral partnership
A partnership with UNDP begins the biodiversity finance workstream and the first ecological fiscal transfer pilot.
Carbon market programme launches
Following the launch of IDXCarbon, CCSF begins independent monitoring of Indonesia's compliance carbon market.
International presence
CCSF presents at COP29 and joins research consortia with universities in Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia.
A knowledge hub
The centre opens its knowledge hub and open data programme, making research usable beyond the academy.
National advisory role
CCSF is appointed technical advisor to the national carbon tax design process and its research team passes 30 researchers.
Mission
Bring knowledge and academic rigor from climate and biodiversity sciences into discussions about finance to address pressing challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss at scale, and accelerate the transition to a sustainable society
Create policy proposals for climate and sustainable finance that are informed by evidence and appropriate to the contexts, taking into account the expertise of industry, government and community
Build stakeholder capacities for climate and sustainable finance at the national and subnational levels with cutting-edge research and policy innovation
What we hold ourselves to
Integrity
We publish what we find, including when it is inconvenient for a funder, a partner or ourselves.
Scientific Excellence
Methods are documented, data is shared, and conclusions are held to peer-reviewed standards.
Collaboration
The problems we work on cross disciplines and institutions. So does our work.
Impact
Research that changes nothing has failed, however well executed. We design for use.
Innovation
New instruments require new analysis. We build the tools our questions demand.
Independence
We accept funding for research questions, never for research answers. Funders never see findings before publication.
