Measuring opportunities: Transforming Indonesia's economy through utilizing natural resources for sustainable development through green economy indicators

ABSTRACT

Many countries with low to medium incomes need a long time to recover from the economic downturn caused by Covid-19. The impact of Covid-19 affects the main development priorities in Indonesia, such as poverty alleviation, the achievement of sustainable development, and the transformation of the green economy. The economic and fiscal constraints facing Indonesia need attention, and the Indonesian economy needs to establish policy criteria. The purpose of this article is to analyze the environmental problems in Indonesia and then identify the government policy related to sustainable development programs to release them. The Ministry of Finance has an essential role in the SDGs by allocating National Budget to environmental programs. Sustainable development is Indonesia's commitment to the international community to reduce the use of carbon emissions to promote a green economy. The green economy indicators that we elaborate in supporting SDGs programs are low-carbon development, resource efficiency, and socially inclusive.
