The EU ‘Climate Diplomacy Week’ is the annual global campaign launched by the European Union and its Member States to foster cooperation on climate change and inspire real action. Entering its 9th year in Indonesia, Climate Diplomacy Week shares learnings, celebrates progress and continues to build the momentum for climate action between the EU and Indonesia.
Climate Diplomacy Week invites all stakeholders to restore our green forests and protect our blue oceans, as we transition together toward a more sustainable future. Celebrating the European Year of Youth 2022, this year’s Climate Diplomacy Week will shine a light on young people’s role and contributions to building a greener future.

Act4Green Gathering at the Park
Ambassador – Youth Climate Action Roundtable
Every year, the EU organises the #EUBeachCleanUp global campaign that brings people together around one common purpose: protecting the oceans and marine life from litter. Through the ‘Directives on Single-Use Plastic’ policy, the EU is spearheading global efforts to reduce and avoid plastic pollution and marine litter.
In this global movement, every action counts: not only taken at the beach but at home; not only taken at the ocean but also inland, such as through plogging activity (picking up litter and jogging).
Held on World Clean Up Day (18 September 2022), we invite you to take part in plogging that aims to raise awareness of the importance of reducing single-use plastics that pollute our streets, parks and eventually our seas and forests. Whilst the key to fighting plastic pollution is to stop it at the source, we all have a part to play in reducing waste and cleaning up our beaches and streets.
Let’s turn a drop in the ocean into a wave of change!
Let’s cycle through the city and adopt a tree, let’s Act4Green!

Institut Français Indonesia menyelenggarakan sebuah pertemuan paralel bertema “Advocating for Sustainable Cities Through Art”.
Sebagai Departemen Kerja Sama dan Kebudayaan Kedutaan Besar Prancis, Institut Français Indonesia menganggap seni sebagai vektor penting peningkatan kesadaran akan isu-isu global.
Acara “Advocating for Sustainable Cities Through Art” bertujuan untuk mengangkat kekuatan seni, khususnya film pendek, sebagai alat mobilisasi untuk pembangunan berkelanjutan di kawasan perkotaan. Penyelenggaraan acara ini juga akan dijadikan kesempatan untuk mempromosikan dua inisiatif lainnya kepada masyarakat Indonesia, yaitu:
Festival MegaCities-ShortDocs merupakan festival film pendek dokumenter yang berfokus pada isu-isu pembangunan berkelanjutan di kota-kota besar. IFI bekerja sama dengan para penyelenggara festival dan mendorong masyarakat Indonesia untuk ambil bagian dengan mengirimkan film pendek dokumenter mereka sebelum tanggal 15 Oktober. Tim juri yang terdiri dari para profesional akan menyeleksi film-film terbaik dengan tujuh penghargaan dengan total nilai sebesar 11.500 euro. Informasi lebih lanjut dapat diakses di website IFI.
Inisiatif Prancis-Indonesia “Think City” yang melalui mural-mural artistik mengajak masyarakat untuk mewaspadai situasi tenggelamnya kota Jakarta di bagian utara. Inisiatif ini terasosiasi dengan LSM GK Indonesia yang memberikan dukungannya kepada masyarakat terdampak penurunan permukaan tanah dan peningkatan permukaan air laut di wilayah Jakarta Utara. Tanggal 8 Oktober nanti, “Think City” akan menggelar sebuah pertemuan artistik seputar kreasi mural oleh kolektif seniman jalanan Gardu House. Informasi lebih lanjut bisa didapatkan di Instagram @thinkcity.jkt.
