IO – The 2019 Climate Diplomacy Week conducted by the European Union in collaboration with several European embassies in Indonesia consists of a series of thematic activities in Jakarta and outside Jakarta which comprise the European Union’s creative way of campaigning for climate change. This year, the European Union collaborated with 7 embassies of member states, 18 community organizations and 12 opinion leaders (celebrities).
The European Union collaborates with those who work hard to solve climate change issues in the areas of forest and marine conservation, renewable energy, sustainable production and consumption and green planning. In addition to a number of discussion forums, the 2019 Climate Diplomacy Week also presents various other activities such as workshops, competitions and games, cooking demonstrations, environmental cleaning programs, film screenings and many more.
