VIVA – BloombergNEF (BNEF) will host a special one-off BloombergNEF Summit Bali on November 12, 2022 ahead of the Business 20 (B20) and G20 Summits taking place in Bali, Indonesia.
The net zero-themed Summit will bring together 300 global and Indonesian business leaders and investors to explore growth opportunities in the transition to a net zero future, the country’s decarbonization efforts in light of its G20 leadership to champion the energy transition and sustainable financing mechanisms.
This event will take place as an official G20 and B20 side event and receives strategic supports from the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime and Investment Affairs (CMMIA), the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) and advisory firm Equatorise.
“With the largest economy in Southeast Asia and enormous potential for clean energy development, Indonesia can help power the region’s transition away from fossil fuels. By doing that, Indonesia can show how investments that fight climate change also create local jobs, support entrepreneurship, and grow the economy,” said UN Secretary General’s Special Envoy for Climate Ambition and Solutions, Michael R. Bloomberg who also B20 International Advocacy Caucus Member in written statement, received on Tuesday April 19, 2022.
The announcement of the BloombergNEF Summit Bali coincides with BloombergNEF’s launch of its BNEF Academy Indonesia program in collaboration with KADIN.
The BNEF Academy brings Indonesian business leaders through a 5-week, high level executive education program on key drivers, trends, and opportunities of the energy transition.
Chairman of Supervisory Board at KADIN who also B20 International Advocacy Caucus and CEO of Bakrie & Brothers, Anindya Bakrie said that we are now facing unprecedented global disruptions from Covid-19, geopolitics & trade and importantly the climate crisis that will challenge the entire global business community, including Indonesia.
“As Chairman of the Supervisory Board at KADIN, I am committed to bringing the net-zero transition baton from COP26 in Glasgow to the B20 Summit in Bali. We know we cannot do it alone, and we are delighted to welcome a great partnership ahead with Bloomberg,” said Anindya Bakrie.
He also thank BloombergNEF who will convene its first Net Zero Summit in Bali later in November, which will be an important gathering of decision makers and policy makers to turbocharge a much-needed green recovery.
“As part of Bakrie Group’s 80th anniversary, I am proud that we have embarked on an ambitious pivot journey focusing on 3Cs – Climate, Covid-19 and Capital – where we just launched VKTR focusing on the electrification and EV agenda that will make a net zero Indonesia closer into a reality. I hope this will be the first of long-lasting partnerships between Bloomberg and Indonesia.”
