About #AksiMudaJagaIklim

The involvement of young people in addressing the climate crisis is key to creating significant and sustainable change, ensuring that the Earth remains healthy and habitable for future generations.

Since 2021, EcoNusa has initiated a youth movement through Penjaga Laut as the initiator of a movement called *Aksi Muda Jaga Iklim* (AMJI). AMJI is a tangible form of Indonesian youth action in addressing the impacts of the climate crisis through a collective movement, starting with commitments to lifestyle changes, reducing plastic waste, and engaging in various forest and ocean conservation activities. AMJI's commitment is to support the government in reducing the rate of climate change and achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2050, as well as maintaining the emission balance in the forestry and land-use sectors, known as the FOLU Net Sink.

About #AksiMudaJagaIklim

Indonesia will reach its golden age in 2045, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of its independence. In 2045, 70% of Indonesia's population will fall within the productive age range (15-64 years old). Unfortunately, instead of being a demographic bonus, this has the potential to turn into a demographic disaster without the empowerment of human and natural resources. The year 2050 is referred to as the climate emergency year. The productive age group will dominate, while the climate crisis will be rampant.

Aksi Muda Jaga Iklim or The Youth Climate Action emerged from the concern of knowing that our planet is not doing well. The Youth Climate Action is a tangible manifestation of the young generation of Indonesia in addressing the impacts of the climate crisis. It represents our commitment to support the government in reducing the rate of climate change and targeting Net Zero Emission by 2050 by maintaining a balance in emissions from the forestry sector and other land use, also known as FOLU Net Sink.
