On June 19, 2025, the Indonesian Business Council (IBC) held the second session of its Indonesian Carbon Market Academy program, co-hosted by Paragon Corp, at the Paragon Community Hub. The workshop, facilitated by carbon market experts Arrie Setiawan and Albert Sutanto from Mountain Stonegate, guided IBC members’ representatives through the process of drafting two essential documents: the Project Design Document (PDD) and the Dafter Rancangan Aksi Mitigasi (DRAM). The two documents are prerequisites for the establishment of IBC’s members’ companies’ diverse project types, ranging from afforestation and reforestation (ARR) and biogas to waste management and Integrated Forest Management (IFM). Through combining group drafting with one-on-one expert mentoring, IBC was able to meet the needs of each project’s unique regulatory, licensing, and financing challenges.
Topics covered by this session’s facilitators included:
- Project boundaries and ownership.
- Stakeholder consultation and financing models.
- Baseline scenarios and additionality.
- Monitoring and emission reduction tracking.
The second ICMA 2 session reaffirmed IBC’s commitment to strengthening private-public collaboration and innovation through equipping members with the technical and regulatory capabilities needed to advance high-quality carbon projects. Building on this momentum, IBC will continue to provide a platform for knowledge-sharing and practical capacity-building to ensure Indonesia’s carbon market develops with integrity, competitiveness, and long-term sustainability.
