This study use qualitative content analysis to examine the sustainability strategy, energy policy and spatial plan of Jakarta, this article. The result reveals that Jakarta has placed the development agenda to a align with the international climate commitment through the RUED 2023-2050 by focusing on promotion of renewable energy, conservation and low carbon development. Programs such as Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), electro mobility for public transport, mangrove conservation and restoration, and increased green space reflect examples of good efforts towards sustainability practices in the urban context. But the adoption of renewable energy is remain low, at only 0.66% of the energy mix, and has been stymied by technical, behavioural and infrastructural obstacles. The study concluded that achieving Jakarta’s vision to be within the top 20 global cities in 2045 requires scaling renewable energy, increasing institutional capacity, and enhance public participation, while also maintain the balance between economic growth and the sustainability of the environment.
