Indonesia's carbon tax is due to take effect next month.

Among the top 10 carbon polluters globally and the world's largest exporter of thermal coal, Indonesia had already delayed the tax to July from April.

"Considering global economic conditions that have not been conducive and we also are continuing to perfect our carbon market scheme... the government is considering to review again the implementation of the carbon tax this July," said Febrio Kacaribu, the head of the finance ministry's fiscal policy office.

Local clean energy think tank CERAH argued the government should apply the carbon tax as soon as possible to generate funds to finance green energy development.
