印尼学者：超越“伙伴关系”，中印尼携手共筑绿色未来

China Daily  

导读：中国和印尼都是煤炭大国，两国在经济可持续发展和绿色转型方面拥有相似的目标和愿景。中国是印尼最大贸易伙伴及主要投资者。印尼在寻求能源自给自足、增加可再生能源产能和碳中和的过程中，中印尼绿色伙伴关系成为关键。中国投资者已在印尼绿色领域进行了重大投资，双方需进一步协调绿色转型计划，调整市场动态并展示成果，以深化联系并共同迈向绿色经济。 今年11月，印尼总统普拉博沃在赴秘鲁参加亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议之前访问了中国。此次访问期间，两国签署了一系列绿色转型关键领域的投资协议，包括锂、新能源汽车和绿色能源发展等。这是普拉博沃自今年2月当选总统以来第二次访华，说明了两国关系的重要性。中国现在是印尼最大的贸易伙伴，也是印尼基础设施和绿色项目的主要投资者。 在全球竞争的大背景下，印尼总统提出的GDP增长8%的目标，以及推进能源安全和绿色转型战略绝非易事。印尼60%的石油需求依靠进口，实现国家能源自给自足是他的首要议程。所有这些，再加上印尼到2030年将可再生能源产能增加两倍、到2060年实现碳中和的目标，意味着利用中印尼伙伴关系发展清洁能源价值链是关键的优先事项。 在普拉博沃的前任佐科执政时期，印尼在吸引包括中国在内的外国绿色投资方面取得了重大进展，引进了电动汽车制造商五菱、比亚迪，以及太阳能电池板生产商天合光能等中国企业赴印尼投资，以应对不断增长的国内需求和出口市场。 印尼提供了全球一半的镍，在镍的冶炼和基础加工行业，该国吸引了中国的大笔投资。虽然供应链在许多方面都需要改善，但这些投资表明，中国投资者能够做出快速调整，同印尼更广泛的经济目标保持步调一致。 图片来源：视觉中国 印尼为实现其在国家自主贡献中提出的气候目标，每年需要投资190亿美元，但到目前为止，实际投资只有不到三分之一，这一缺口也意味着机遇。 印尼的外交目标是在探索新经济机遇的同时培育历史纽带，而中国正是深化绿色伙伴关系的天然合作伙伴。 普拉博沃政府提出了“八大愿景”，其中部分内容是强调在发展经济的同时自力更生，这与中国的“中华民族伟大复兴”愿景有一些相似之处。这是构建人类命运共同体——最好是绿色命运共同体的必由之路。 亚洲地区已经出现了多项转型倡议，如“公正能源转型伙伴关系”和日本的“亚洲零排放共同体”倡议。而中国提出的倡议不仅是以上倡议的简单补充，其独特之处在于，中国在低成本、高科技绿色产业方面具有优势，中国与印尼在高速增长和加快建立全球联系方面也有共同目标。 虽然中国和印尼在历史上都是煤炭大国，但中国在绿色领域的加速发展表明，全球绿色转型可以被视为机遇，而不是风险。随着东南亚国家竞相进入绿色价值链，印尼庞大的经济规模和丰富的自然资源为其提供了坚实的基础，但这位新上任的外向型总统必须抓紧行动。 图片来源：新华社 新政府需要对可再生能源建设提出一致的政策信号，鼓励建立地方产业，同时保证公正透明的绿色转型。此外还有几件事要记住。 首先，印尼的绿色计划和路线图需要更好的协调和问责机制。建立合作关系只是开始，下一步必须提出明确的近期目标供各方“对表”，这对于项目向前推进至关重要。为了实现这一目标，应该有一个统一的总路线图，为各个部门的具体工作指明方向。在这个路线图中，各部门的计划应是总体议程的补充，而不是各自朝着不同的方向发展。 其次，必须对全球市场动态作出反应，及时调整。全球绿色转型不是一个线性过程。技术进步和标准完善是同步进行的，解决了绿色价值链的各种不完善之处。随着对环境影响和劳工标准的关注不断增加，印尼政府和中国投资者都需要采取相应的行动。 三是要向印尼和海外展示中国负责任的绿色投资成果。在双方的合作中，虽然仍存在挑战，但也涌现出了许多积极正面的故事，它们在很大程度上并没有被更广泛的印尼公众所知。 最终，在一个不断变化的世界里，仅建立“伙伴关系”恐怕是不够的。在通往绿色经济的漫漫长路上，中印尼两国可以建立更深层次的联系。 图片来源：中国日报 本文原文发表在中国日报国际版，原标题为 "What close Sino-Indonesian collaboration could mean" 出品：中国日报中国观察智库 责编：宋平 刘夏 编辑：张钊 【责任编辑：高琳琳】
