As a country rich in natural resources and biodiversity, it holds immense potential to lead climate solutions in the Global South. Yet, this promise is entangled in a web of complex challenges—from policy inertia and technological gaps to investment and governance hurdles. How can Indonesia move from potential to leadership in the global energy transition? In this compelling panel discussion, Gita Wirjawan moderates a dialogue with three leading minds from Stanford University: David Cohen (Director of the Center for Human Rights and International Justice), Yi Cui (Faculty Director of the Sustainability Accelerator), and William Chueh (Director of Precourt Institute for Energy). Together, they explore the interplay between science, policy, and international cooperation in unlocking sustainable development for Indonesia and beyond. This event is part of The Yudhoyono Institute (TYI) Lecture Series, held in collaboration with Stanford University. Recorded in Yogyakarta on May 12, 2025. #Endgame #GitaWirjawan #ClimateSolutions ------------ Read Gita’s relevant papers here: https://sgpp.me/the-paradox-of-sustai... https://sgpp.me/the-paradox-of-the-in... https://sgpp.me/money-matters ------------ Episode lainnya yang mungkin Anda sukai:    • Habib Jafar Login Filsafat, Jawab Pertanya...      • Rocky Gerung: Alasan Kita Darurat Dialekti...      • Karlina Supelli: Cipta, Rasa, Karsa Manusi...   ------------ Jelajahi dan jadi bagian dari komunitas kami https://endgame.id/ ------------ Untuk ajakan kolaborasi dan kerja sama, hubungi kami di sini: https://sgpp.me/contactus ------------ PROLOGUE BY MODERATOR 00:00 - Why Southeast Asia matters REMARKS BY PANELISTS 06:57 - Stanford’s Sustainability Accelerator initiatives 13:03 - Sustainability: What are we sustaining, exactly? 20:48 - Think holistically, bridge innovation and policy DISCUSSION 29:41 - Nickel & the Future of Battery 39:20 - Key to meet electricity demand: “Innovate for affordability” 41:09 - Blue food: Synchronizing national, regional, and local policy 46:30 - Role of academics in energy cost reduction 50:55 - Pressing the carbon capture cost 55:50 - Local food and free meal program Q&A WITH AUDIENCE 1:02:05 - Question from Ibas: How do we attain both growth and green 1:06:57 - Question from UGM: How to bridge science and policymaking better 1:09:27 - Thoughts from Emil Dardak: Irony of sustainability 1:15:08 - Green tech should be cheaper, better, faster 1:20:07 - Hydrogen economy 1:20:54 - Justifying green subsidies 1:22:20 - Value to cost ratio: Don’t solely focus on the cost 1:24:44 - Financing the learning curve: Lessons from battery adaptation 1:26:49 - Addressing women and local community exclusion in sustainability discourses EPILOGUE 1:29:44 - Technology and economy are equally important ------------ Special Thanks to Our ‘Future Narrator’ Channel Members: Yemotto IBRAHIM, Mariko Yoshihara, Adli Tama Hidayat Sembiring, hobi kluyuran, Fajar Prasetyo, Dyah Firgiani, keetkaat, Excel-lent, Fajrul Islah, Arie Gunardi, Yayi Trisnawati D, Teddy Chow, SJ Lim, Alex Alex, Priyanithi Dharsania Negara, Sangaji 77, Widi Aphrian, hndraable, Muhammad Taufik Evendi, hendro trihatmojo, azam adnani, BGM TAKARYU MALAYSIA, Qun＇an Syukrilah, Raul L.
