"Greenhouse gas emission intensity" is a measure of emissions generated from economic activity.

A declining intensity indicates efforts to reduce emissions or decarbonize the economy. Conversely, a rising intensity reflects increasingly environmentally unfriendly economic activity.

According to European Commission data, in 1990, Indonesia's greenhouse gas emission intensity reached 0.44 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) per $1,000 calculated using the purchasing power parity (PPP) method.

In other words, at that time, every economic activity in Indonesia that generated $1,000 in GDP (PPP) also produced 0.44 tons of CO2eq in greenhouse gas emissions.

In subsequent years, Indonesia's emission intensity fluctuated with a downward trend, reaching 0.31 tons of CO2eq per $1,000 PPP in 2023.

This achievement is approximately 30% lower than in 1990.

However, when calculated in total, Indonesia's greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase due to the increasing national GDP.

The European Commission notes that Indonesia's total volume of greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 reached 1,200 million tons of CO2eq, a 202% increase compared to 1990 and a new record high.

This indicates that there have been efforts to reduce emissions or decarbonize the Indonesian economy, but these have not yet had a significant impact.

A similar phenomenon is also common in other countries.

"All major emitting countries in the world have reduced their emissions intensity per unit of GDP, except China, where emission intensity has remained constant," stated the European Commission in its report *GHG Emissions of All World Countries 2024*.
