Indonesia with energy dominance from fossil (non-renewable) sources is expected to last until 2050. As a signatory to the Paris agreement, Indonesia has the duty to reduce the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, which means that the country cannot depend on fossil fuel sources such as oil and coal. Moreover, the Indonesian government is currently targeting an ambitious use of renewable energy of 23% of total energy sources. To achieve this target, the government has increased the renewable energy program. The energy transition has been widely discussed as part of global initiatives to reduce the impact of climate change, since the climate crisis is intensifying and causes many disasters. Indonesia has published an Indonesia Long Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience (LTS-LCCR 2050) and a National Determined Contribution (NDC 2021) document to incentivize the energy transition. The purpose of this research is to carry out a literature study approach related to renewable energy application and challenge in order to support the acceleration of the energy transition in the midst of increasing the disaster due to climate change in Indonesia. Gas emission cause more extreme weather as climate change could delay the energy transition. These findings summarize the energy transition and provide insights solution by incorporating climate adaptation into strategies that reduces carbon emissions, including renewable energy deployment. The application of renewable energy on energy transition has an implication on local, regional, and national level.
