Grassroots Rising: Local Champions Unite in Kupang for Climate Action

From June 19–20, 2025, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), became the stage for a powerful gathering of grassroots voices during Inspiring Gathering of Local Champions – Real Actions for Climate Mitigation and Adaptation in Nusantara, an event organised by C4Ledger through Bengkel APPeK with support from the VCA Indonesia alliance. The event brought together over 60 participants, including climate champions from across Indonesia, government stakeholders, community-based organisations, and the media. These individuals, many of whom are women, Indigenous leaders, youth, and village officials, have been on the frontlines of climate challenges—managing land, seas, and resources under growing pressure from climate change.
