This has been the rallying cry from scientists and those within our own ranks for years. 2021 offered a beacon of hope; a year in which we could build back better and lay the foundation for a more sustainable world.<\/p>\n
While much was accomplished, much remains to be done, and our work continues.<\/p>\n
Hopes were pinned on the annual COP conference, and some were dashed when governments struggled to define a clear plan to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and hit carbon emissions reduction targets by 2030.<\/p>\n
Solving the climate crisis won\u2019t happen overnight, and it certainly won\u2019t happen in silos. Innovative solutions and collaboration across countries, sectors, governments, and industries must be a part of the conversation if we\u2019re going to succeed, sustainably and equitably.<\/p>\n
We believe the key to those conversations is ensuring that those working on the ground have a voice and a seat at the table.<\/p>\n
While policy and global cooperation is critical in the fight against climate change, they alone will not ensure that the work will get done. Change will not come about from politicians and global leaders arguing over details and waiting on results. Instead, it will be up to the private sector and citizens to step in and drive change.<\/p>\n
But that groundswell requires capital to back it.<\/p>\n
The latest reports estimate that there is a US $700 billion annual funding gap to protect the earth\u2019s biodiversity and repair the damage already done by humans. Accelerating climate action won\u2019t come cheap, but it will be worth the cost.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve worked on projects from the restoration of peatlands across the UK\u2019s National Parks to sustainable forestry management in Tanzania, and have seen first-hand the difference a project with the right funding can make.<\/p>\n
We know that what\u2019s better for the earth and our climate is better for businesses and communities, and often such projects require a creative vehicle to get to the finish line.<\/p>\n
We need to shift the way investors value natural assets. Our work has shown that investing in our standing forests and ensuring their preservation is worth far more than their value as timber. We have an incredible opportunity in front of us to scale up and invest in the trade of sustainable, high-value forest commodities, supporting carefully designed business models that combine high-intensity agriculture production with the protection of adjacent forests and communities.<\/p>\n
New solutions and innovative business models are cropping up every day, but they will require support, know-how, and cooperation across sectors to ensure that they\u2019re implemented effectively.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not impossible.<\/p>\n
What we need to tackle climate change is already at our fingertips, but accelerating those efforts, rather than maintaining the status quo, will take a significant and comprehensive change to nearly every facet of our lives.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”light_one” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ed7004″ transform_rotate=”0deg|0deg|90deg” positioning=”absolute” position_origin_a=”center_right” horizontal_offset=”-186px” width=”558px” height=”65px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”case-study” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#11120d” background_enable_image=”off” custom_padding=”1px||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” module_id=”text-font” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”3px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ module_id=”case-text” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”190px||120px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code admin_label=”Code” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

The MENTARI Programme is supporting the Indonesian government in achieving this goal by helping to improve the regulatory framework and business environment for renewable energy uptake. MENTARI also focuses on accelerating investments in renewable energy projects, delivers hands on support to renewable energy project developers, and plans to install two decentralised solar microgrids to test innovative and viable business models for off-grid electricity supply.<\/p>\r\n
Through a more conducive renewable energy policy framework, increased access to finance for renewable energy projects, and increased productive use of energy at community level, our team is demonstrating the possibilities of low carbon energy for Indonesia\u2019s economic development, job creation, and social inclusion, while helping to mitigate negative climate and environmental impacts.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

This has been the rallying cry from scientists and those within our own ranks for years. 2021 offered a beacon of hope; a year in which we could build back better and lay the foundation for a more sustainable world.<\/p>\n
While much was accomplished, much remains to be done, and our work continues.<\/p>\n
Hopes were pinned on the annual COP conference, and some were dashed when governments struggled to define a clear plan to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and hit carbon emissions reduction targets by 2030.<\/p>\n
Solving the climate crisis won\u2019t happen overnight, and it certainly won\u2019t happen in silos. Innovative solutions and collaboration across countries, sectors, governments, and industries must be a part of the conversation if we\u2019re going to succeed, sustainably and equitably.<\/p>\n
We believe the key to those conversations is ensuring that those working on the ground have a voice and a seat at the table.<\/p>\n
While policy and global cooperation is critical in the fight against climate change, they alone will not ensure that the work will get done. Change will not come about from politicians and global leaders arguing over details and waiting on results. Instead, it will be up to the private sector and citizens to step in and drive change.<\/p>\n
But that groundswell requires capital to back it.<\/p>\n
The latest reports estimate that there is a US $700 billion annual funding gap to protect the earth\u2019s biodiversity and repair the damage already done by humans. Accelerating climate action won\u2019t come cheap, but it will be worth the cost.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve worked on projects from the restoration of peatlands across the UK\u2019s National Parks to sustainable forestry management in Tanzania, and have seen first-hand the difference a project with the right funding can make.<\/p>\n
We know that what\u2019s better for the earth and our climate is better for businesses and communities, and often such projects require a creative vehicle to get to the finish line.<\/p>\n
We need to shift the way investors value natural assets. Our work has shown that investing in our standing forests and ensuring their preservation is worth far more than their value as timber. We have an incredible opportunity in front of us to scale up and invest in the trade of sustainable, high-value forest commodities, supporting carefully designed business models that combine high-intensity agriculture production with the protection of adjacent forests and communities.<\/p>\n
New solutions and innovative business models are cropping up every day, but they will require support, know-how, and cooperation across sectors to ensure that they\u2019re implemented effectively.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not impossible.<\/p>\n
What we need to tackle climate change is already at our fingertips, but accelerating those efforts, rather than maintaining the status quo, will take a significant and comprehensive change to nearly every facet of our lives.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”light_one” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#ed7004″ transform_rotate=”0deg|0deg|90deg” positioning=”absolute” position_origin_a=”center_right” horizontal_offset=”-186px” width=”558px” height=”65px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”case-study” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#11120d” background_enable_image=”off” custom_padding=”1px||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”1″ make_equal=”on” module_id=”text-font” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”3px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ module_id=”case-text” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”190px||120px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code admin_label=”Code” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Indonesia has among the highest renewable energy potential in the world and has set to achieve 31% renewable energy 2050, making the opportunity for green growth enormous. The MENTARI Programme is supporting the Indonesian government in achieving this goal by helping to improve the regulatory framework and business environment for renewable energy uptake. MENTARI also focuses on accelerating investments in renewable energy projects, delivers hands on support to renewable energy project developers, and plans to install two decentralised solar microgrids to test innovative and viable business models for off-grid electricity supply.<\/p>\r\n
Through a more conducive renewable energy policy framework, increased access to finance for renewable energy projects, and increased productive use of energy at community level, our team is demonstrating the possibilities of low carbon energy for Indonesia\u2019s economic development, job creation, and social inclusion, while helping to mitigate negative climate and environmental impacts.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
