Indonesia has issued Regulation No. 6/2026 to streamline carbon trading in its forestry sector. The new rules aim to attract international investment and increase the supply of high-integrity carbon credits by simplifying business processes. A key part of the framework is the adoption of a nesting approach. This system is designed to prevent double counting of carbon credits and ensure better coordination between individual projects and national accounting systems.

Nesting is the right move here. Without it, you just have a bunch of disconnected projects that might conflict with the national NDC. The real test is how they actually synchronize the project level data with the national registry.

True, but the article is vague on the actual simplified processes. Streamlining is a common talking point. I want to see the actual paperwork requirements for international investors.

Indonesia has massive potential with its tropical forests, but the market needs a lot of transparency to actually get high-integrity labels. Hope this regulation includes strict MRV standards.
