BLESS Indonesia

Energizing Leaders,
Redefining Future.

At the heart of every lasting change is a leader who dares to care. Leaders working for environmental change often carry the weight of entire systems on their shoulders. But, change cannot happen at the cost of burnout.

We design programs that spark resilience, shift systems, and reimagine how people, planet, and prosperity can thrive together.

Our Ways of Working

Lasting change begins with the people who lead it. At BLESS, transformation grows through steady presence, meaningful connection, and momentum built together.

Breathe

We create safe spaces for leaders to pause, reflect, build emotional resilience, and help them cultivate the clarity and focus needed to navigate complexity.

Connect

We bridge silos across systems, helping leaders build trust, collaboration, and alignment that can unlock more coordinated change.

Amplify

We support leaders to grow what matters by shifting behaviors, scaling impact, and strengthening ecosystems through strategic and systemic approaches.

The Programs

Objective

200+

leaders that drive responsible bioeconomic system energized

Intended Outcomes

8.5 mio

20 mio

hectares of ecosystems targeted for protection/restoration

12%

of target GDP from non-extractive sectors by 2045

FLARE 2045 Strategy

In collaboration with Koalisi Ekonomi Membumi, Project FLARE serves as the long-term framework guiding Indonesia’s shift beyond extractive industries. It focuses on high-risk regions, aligning diverse actors to deliver measurable outcomes by 2045.

What’s at Stake

Indonesia is projected to expand monoculture plantations by 30–40% and grow the extractive industry’s GDP share beyond 13% by 2045. This trajectory will continue unless a new pathway takes root. FLARE aims to be that turning point.

Ecosystems Restored

20 million hectares of forests and peatlands protected and restored across high-risk critical ecosystem areas.

Workforce Transformation

8.5 million jobs in Responsible Bioeconomy sectors, with 4 million professionals trained

Emission Reduction

25.51 GT CO₂e mitigated cumulatively, with 1.4 GT CO₂e per year

Economic Shift

Extractive industries contribute less than 10% to GDP

Non Extractive GDP Contribution

Increase to at least 90% with at least 12% of national GDP driven by nature-based Responsible Bioeconomy
