Our Story

From Crisis to Collective Action

Indigenous Community

Climate Chapter Indonesia was born from the urgent recognition that our most vulnerable communities—particularly in Borneo and Kalimantan—face the harshest impacts of environmental destruction, social inequality, and climate injustice.

As a youth-led movement, we bridge the gap between indigenous wisdom and modern sustainability solutions. We believe that true climate action must center community voices, honor local knowledge, and create pathways for equitable participation in the green transition.

Our work spans climate education, renewable energy development, sustainable waste management, and indigenous empowerment—all guided by principles of justice, inclusivity, and systems transformation.

Background
The Heart of Our Movement

Why Borneo Matters

Kalimantan and Borneo represent not just a place on the map, but the frontlines of climate justice, biodiversity preservation, and indigenous resilience.

Rainforest Biodiversity

Home to one of the world's oldest and most biodiverse rainforests, facing critical threats from deforestation and resource extraction.

Indigenous Communities

Dayak and local communities hold generations of ecological wisdom, yet face marginalization and displacement from climate impacts.

Climate Vulnerability

Rising temperatures, extreme weather, and environmental degradation disproportionately affect vulnerable communities with the least resources.

This is why we exist: To ensure that climate solutions are not just imposed from above, but co-created with the communities who know these lands best—centering equity, justice, and local wisdom in every initiative we undertake.
