Indonesia’s Readiness to Reduce Carbon Levels in the Maritime Area during the Covid-19 Pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on the decline in shipping mobility. This also has an impact on the environment and actors involved in maritime activities. With this incident, this has also made countries in the world pay more attention to the environment, especially the increase in carbon in maritime areas. As for Indonesia at this time, it will focus on implementing its commitment to reduce carbon emissions by up to 29 percent by 2030. Therefore, this article aims to discuss Indonesia's level of readiness in reducing carbon emissions, especially in water areas. The research method used in this research is evaluative research which refers to the concept of Ocean Based Mitigation as a result of the discussion of the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy, where this concept identifies water areas that have the potential to generate carbon. Based on the existing conclusions, Indonesia's level of readiness for decarbonization in marine areas has only reached 44%. This acquisition is still a process, so that in the future other areas also need to be improved, namely in the area of marine transportation, protection of marine ecosystems, fisheries and aquaculture, and carbon storage on the seabed.
