About GBPN

Global Buildings Performance Network Indonesia (GBPN Indonesia) is committed to decarbonising the building sector while promoting healthier, more affordable and more resilient spaces for all Indonesians.

Building on global experience through GBPN, we provide policy and technical support, and build strong coalitions – bringing together the right people in key locations, including Indonesia, India, China, Africa, and Europe, to drive maximum impact. By doing so, we help unlock inclusive, scalable solutions for sustainable buildings across the world. Over the past five years, GBPN has experienced rapid organisational growth and expansion of services. There is also the very real issue of time running out. If we are to achieve zero emissions by 2030, incremental change is no longer enough, we need to think and act bigger and faster.

GBPN’s operation in Indonesia started in late 2019 and has continued to grow with the goal to become a trusted partner and thought leader in providing sustainable and innovative solutions to achieve Zero Emission Buildings in Indonesia. We have provided policy and technical assistance to policymakers, private sector, academicians/researchers and other key stakeholders to support the government in meeting its climate goals through the building sector.

Context & Reason for the Hire

In Indonesia, since late 2019, GBPN is actively supporting the national government (Ministry of Public Works, Ministry of Housing, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Transportation) and 15 Indonesian cities and provinces to develop roadmaps and action plans for building decarbonisation. In the past years, we supported the development of the first national green building roadmap, two sub‑national roadmaps on energy‑efficient buildings, and a national building energy model informed by data from 10 cities.

One of GBPN’s on‑going projects is the Green Finance Accelerator (GFA), that aims to increase the private sector’s uptake and contribution to Zero Emission Buildings (ZEBs) by promoting the design, adoption and scaling of appropriate green financing instruments that are more suitable for the Indonesian market context. In this regard, one of GFA’s key targets is to review the readiness of potential green investment instruments such as carbon market, sustainability‑linked‑loans (SLL) and others in advancing the Green Building sector. The project is implemented in collaboration with key stakeholders, including government institutions (Ministry of Finance, Financial Services Authority (OJK), Bank of Indonesia, and selected national and local governments) as well as private sector actors, particularly financial institutions and property developers.

To achieve this, GBPN is seeking to conduct a comprehensive review and analysis on monitoring‑reporting‑verification (MRV) frameworks related to green building financing in Indonesia.

Engagement Overview

GBPN is considering engaging a group consisting of a small number of up to 3–4 master’s students and/or master’s recent graduates (within the past 1–2 years) on short‑term, consulting‑style assignments to support specific analytical and research components of this work. The engagement is designed to provide applied, real‑world experience alongside academic studies and is suitable for students or graduates with an interest in climate finance, sustainable investment, or climate policy in emerging markets. This opportunity is particularly well‑suited to current students and recent graduates of programmes such as MSc Climate Change, Management & Finance or Climate Change Finance and Investment, though applications from other relevant disciplines are welcome.
