About Jakarta

With a population of 28 million, the Greater Jakarta area is the largest metropolitan area in Southeast Asia and the second largest in the world. Rapid growth, urbanization and land commercialization has caused a substantial increases in energy consumption, and consequently, greenhouse gas emissions.

What does citizen-based climate action look like? Ask Jakarta’s religious leaders (CityTalk)

Climate commitments don’t simply fall out of the sky – successful climate action requires awareness raising, coalition building and buy-in and commitment from stakeholders at all levels. That is why the Ambitious City Promises project has focused on bottom-up models of climate action, supporting local governments in Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines to pivot away from tokenism towards valuing stakeholders. Nowhere are these principles of engagement more prominently on display than in the religious community in Jakarta.
