Purnomo Yusgiantoro Center (PYC)

The Purnomo Yusgiantoro Center is a principal partner in the FINCAPES Project, supporting multi-stakeholder research, analysis, and policy dialogue on climate finance to advance Indonesia’s energy transition. This partnership strengthens evidence-based climate finance policies by bridging government, academia, industry, and civil society perspectives. Key areas of collaboration include the establishment of RECLICKS (Research on Climate Change and Knowledge Sharing) as a center of excellence, the development of a climate finance policy think tank, and support for demand-driven climate finance research and dialogue. The partnership also advances financing strategies for priority sectors, including geothermal energy, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), grid modernization to support renewable energy, and decarbonization of energy-intensive industries. Through seminars, conferences, short courses, study visits, and sustained engagement with policymakers and industry leaders, this collaboration aims to catalyze concrete government and private sector action on climate finance and accelerate Indonesia’s low-carbon energy transition.
