A cross-sectoral dissemination workshop was held in Jakarta to present the findings of a multi-institutional study on the health and economic impacts of transitioning to higher fuel quality standards (EURO 4/6) in Indonesia. The workshop brought together national and local agencies—including the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), BMKG, BRIN, BPJS Kesehatan, and environmental and health offices from Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya—alongside academic institutions, media, and civil society groups.

Presentations covered pollutant reductions projected from adopting EURO 4 fuels, economic cost-benefit analyses, and findings from a systematic review of over 5,000 published studies linking air pollution to public health. Speakers emphasized the urgency of regulatory reform, improved fuel pricing policy, enhanced emissions monitoring, and coordinated communication strategies. The discussions also highlighted regional challenges in fuel distribution, governance barriers, and the importance of public education and early warning systems.
The event concluded with calls for stronger cross-agency collaboration, clear legal mandates at the regional level, and science-based policymaking to drive air quality improvements and reduce the public health burden from pollution-related diseases by 2030.
