Environmental & Forestry
Indonesia's commitment since the 2016 Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and meet its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) has spurred the rapid development of a carbon economy ecosystem. This robust framework now encompasses GHG assessments, emissions trading, carbon taxation, and projects like Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS). Soemadipradja & Taher’s Environmental & Carbon practice group is dedicated to guiding clients through this increasingly complex regulatory landscape, covering both general environmental compliance and the specific, recent legislation governing carbon economic value. The group helps clients understand and comply with evolving carbon regulations, optimize opportunities in sustainable development, and maximize the economic value of their environmental assets
