Road to IETD 2025 Seminar: IETD Goes to Campus Discussing Green Jobs: The Role of Youth for a Sustainable Future

Background

In an era of climate change and increasing awareness of the importance of sustainability issues, green jobs are a strategic solution for a brighter future. Indonesia, as a country with abundant natural resources, has significant potential for developing green jobs, ranging from the use of renewable energy power plants, waste management, sustainable agriculture, and environmental conservation. However, a lack of information and understanding of these opportunities remains a major barrier for young people to actively participate in this field.

This talk show serves as a platform to convey valid and inspiring information about the potential for green jobs in Indonesia. Through interactive dialogue, participants will gain insight into various types of green jobs, labor market needs in Indonesia, and the important role of youth in supporting sustainable economic development.

The active participation of youth is essential for creating positive change in society and the environment. Supported by adequate knowledge about green jobs, young people are expected to become pioneers in innovation, creativity, and the development of sustainable solutions. This talk show is expected to inspire renewed enthusiasm and motivation for them to consider careers in green fields as a primary option for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.

The 8th Indonesia Energy Transition Dialogue (IETD), which will be held on October 6-8, 2025, in a hybrid format in Jakarta, is an annual event organized by ICEF and IESR that serves as a national platform for various stakeholders to raise the issue of energy transition in Indonesia. This event will raise the theme and concept of energy transition, facilitate discussions and formulate national strategies, encourage multi-stakeholder participation to support collaborators and the active participation of all communities in achieving net zero emissions by 2060. As a series of events leading up to the 8th IETD, the Road to IETD 2025: IETD Goes to Campus Seminar is held as a platform to bridge the information gap and increase strategic insights among young people to be able to collaborate in building clean energy in Indonesia.
