Kemitraan Indonesia, supported by the Adaptation Fund, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) and the Provincial Government of Central Java, organized Youth Camp 2024 in Bandungan, Semarang Regency.

TRIBUNJATENG.COM, PEKALONGAN – The young generation is the spearhead in dealing with climate change.

This is because the future of climate-resilient development is in their hands. Later, young people will also be the determinants of pro-climate policies.

Therefore, Kemitraan Indonesia, supported by the Adaptation Fund, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), and the Central Java Provincial Government held Youth Camp 2024 in Bandungan, Semarang Regency.

Regional Secretary of Pekalongan City, Nur Priyantomo, expressed his gratitude and appreciation to Kemitraan Indonesia, which always involves young people to jointly realize the impact of climate change.

“Young people have the opportunity to increase environmental awareness. Several things can be done through more comprehensive environmental education, providing information that is more accessible and understandable, and involving young people in fun environmental activities.”

“Because, climate change adaptation is the responsibility of all parties, including young people, not just the government,” said Pekalongan City Regional Secretary Nur Priyantomo in a release received by tribunjateng.com, Sunday (11/8/2024).

As is known, climate change is still an issue that has not been grounded, especially among young people.

In fact, the impact of climate change has been very pronounced, especially for residents in the North Coast of Java such as Pekalongan City, Pekalongan Regency, Semarang City, Tegal City, Demak Regency, and Batang Regency. Coastal areas in these six regions are often inundated by tidal floods due to rising sea levels.

Meanwhile, Saiful Doeana, Operations Manager of Kemitraan Indonesia, said that this activity is part of the Adaptation Fund program in Pekalongan City, one of which aims to involve young people in climate change adaptation efforts.

“We do this activity by expanding the network of participants so that it can become a forum for increasing the awareness of young people on climate change management, especially related to adaptation actions that can be carried out by all of us,” Saiful said.

Saiful said Youth Camp 2024 was attended by 100 young people from six coastal areas of the North Coast of Java affected by climate change, namely Pekalongan City, Pekalongan Regency, Semarang City, Tegal City, Demak Regency, and Batang Regency.

In the event, they were invited to understand climate change, which has become their daily problem.

“The trick is that they are invited to understand through game simulations, as well as art and culture. Thus, heavy topics such as climate change can be understood easily and become their daily conversation.”

“Because, in fact, climate change also affects daily life, such as the disruption of food stocks due to chaotic planting seasons. Likewise, tidal flooding is very disruptive to their daily activities, such as studying or working,” he said.

Soegiharto, Head of Watershed Management and Natural Resources Conservation of the Central Java Provincial Government, said that climate change control essentially aims to reduce ecological impacts.

In addition, it also strengthens the economic and social resilience of the community through the creation of alternative livelihoods. Both of these require the role of the younger generation.

“We hope that the participation of the younger generation in climate change control is expected to encourage the growth of new thoughts and innovations to increase community resilience to deal with the impacts of climate change.”

“The young generation is expected to contribute to society by actively creating innovations such as plastic processing, the use of digital technology in disaster early warning systems and climate information, and others,” he said. (Dro)

KEMITRAAN memainkan peran krusial dalam mendukung pengembangan undang-undang untuk membentuk KPK. Hal ini diikuti dengan langkah mendukung Pemerintah dan DPR dalam memilih calon komisioner yang kompeten dan juga mendukung kelompok masyarakat sipil untuk mengawasi secara kritis proses seleksinya.
