2. SUSTAINABLE LIVELYHOOD

The poor population in Indonesia (2021) reaches 26.50 million people or 9.71 percent of the total population of 270.20 million people. By island, Java has 13.85 million poor people, equivalent to 52.96% of the total national poor. 

So far, poverty is only seen as a socio-economic problem. In fact, the threat of climate change has a serious impact on poverty. According to FAO (2018), by 2030 it is predicted that climate change will increase the number of poor people by 100 million and increase food prices by 12 percent. thus, the issues of poverty, environment and climate change must be seen as inseparable. For this reason, the mainstreaming of sustainable development must be strengthened, so that development policies and environmental policies must be pro-poor and poverty reduction policies must be pro-environmental.

  • Promote sustainable consumption and production patterns.
  • Developing a conservation-based economy.
  • Develop regenerative agriculture.
  • Developing a community-based circular economy.

3. CLIMATE ACTION

The world is now 1.2C warmer than it was in the 19th century - and the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by 50%.  Climate change is already affecting our lives and if left unchecked, humans and nature will experience catastrophic warming, severe droughts, greater sea level rise, and species extinction. Temperature rise must slow down if we are to avoid the worst consequences of climate change. Global warming needs to be kept at 1.5C by 2100.

An increase in air temperature causes more water to evaporate. This is where the potential for a water crisis will occur. The availability of water in Indonesia is decreasing from year to year. Of the six major islands in Indonesia, Java has the lowest water availability. By 2035, according to LIPI's prediction, the availability of water on the most populous island is estimated at 1,118 cubic meters per capita per year. Meanwhile, the minimum air supply standard is 2,000 cubic meters per capita per year. Whereas the population of Java Island is 56.10 percent or 151.59 million people with an area of ​​7 percent of the entire territory of Indonesia. Water quality is also expected to decline significantly.

Climate change has a greater impact on the poor and vulnerable groups such as women, children, toddlers, disabled etc). This is because their resources and adaptability are very limited. What is currently needed is the commitment of all parties, including the government, companies, households and individuals to start making changes by implementing a lifestyle approach, sustainable production and consumption patterns, divesting fossil resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions policies. 

  • Conducting popular education and mobilizing young people to become actors of change and change lifestyles starting from themselves and the community.
  • Developing multimedia materials and facilitating space for youth, students and university students for a more massive campaign.
  • Advocating to governments, companies and communities to implement low carbon policies and programs.
  • Advocating on water conservation to maintain the carrying capacity of the Java Island with the largest population in Indonesia.
