Indonesia, UN Launch New Hub to Speed Up Green Industry

The Indonesian Ministry of Industry is teaming up with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to launch a new Eco-Industrial Park Center. The facility aims to help factories and industrial zones shift to cleaner, more sustainable operations. The center will serve as a training and advisory hub. It will guide local businesses on how to reduce waste, save energy, and adopt eco-friendly technologies. UNIDO will provide technical expertise, while Indonesia will manage the center’s daily operations. Officials say the project is a key step in Indonesia’s broader green transition. By helping industries become more efficient, the center also hopes to attract foreign investment and create new jobs. The partnership builds on earlier efforts to make industrial parks in Indonesia more environmentally friendly. The new center is expected to open later this year.
