On 8 September 2026, Climate Talk Episode #1 explored the theme “Indonesia’s Climate: Present, Past & Future: Translating Global Commitments into Locally Grounded Action.” The discussion began with a key challenge: Indonesia has various climate commitments and policies, but translating them into tangible change at the community level still requires approaches that are more contextual and relevant.

On 5th September, Yayasan Amanah Daya Nusantara (AYANA), in collaboration with IPMI Institute, convened a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on “Indonesian Business Engagement in Interfaith Climate Action” at IPMI Institute, Jakarta. The discussion brought together 14 participants from across the business, sustainability, infrastructure, logistics, energy, agriculture, human capital, and academic sectors to explore how Indonesian businesses understand climate risks and how values-based and faith-linked approaches could contribute to more grounded climate action.

Yayasan Amanah Daya Nusantara (AYANA), in collaboration with the School of Business and Management Institut Teknologi Bandung (SBM ITB), convened the second Focus Group Discussion (FGD) on 12 August 2026, titled “Accelerating Strategies for Sustainable Agricultural Ecosystems Across Commodities .”

On 27 July 2026, representatives of Indonesia’s six major faith communities formally established the Joint Secretariat for Interfaith Climate Action Indonesia (Sekretariat Bersama Aksi Iklim Lintas Iman), marking an important milestone in advancing coordinated, faith-based climate action across the country.

How can climate change become more relevant to people’s everyday lives?
This question set the tone for AYANA’s Media Gathering, where journalists, editors, and communication practitioners came together to discuss how climate narratives can better connect with communities across Indonesia.

From 19–21 June 2026, AYANA organized a Capacity Building & Field Sensing journey in Yogyakarta, bringing together board members, partners, and the AYANA team for a shared learning experience. Through field visits, reflective discussions, and informal conversations, we sought to understand how climate action can emerge and take root within communities—not merely as a program, but as a way of life grounded in values, faith, and care for one another.

On 11 June 2026, Yayasan Amanah Daya Nusantara (AYANA), in collaboration with the School of Business and Management, Institut Teknologi Bandung (SBM ITB), convened a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) titled “Identifying Strategic Opportunities in Indonesia’s Agricultural Ecosystem.” The discussion brought together 24 institutional leaders representing Indonesia’s agricultural ecosystem, including the rice, palm oil, rubber, cocoa, and coffee sectors, as well as research institutions, civil society organizations, development partners, and the private sector. The FGD aimed to take stock of the key challenges facing Indonesia’s agricultural sector, prioritize strategic areas for intervention, and identify opportunities for stronger cross-sector collaboration.

AYANA convened the Interfaith Climate Action Consolidation Workshop on 10 June 2026 at Hutan Kota by Plataran, Jakarta. The event marked the culmination of a series of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) held between March and May 2026, bringing together representatives from Muslim, Catholic, Protestant Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and Confucian communities to develop a shared agenda for addressing the climate crisis in Indonesia.

Syi’ar Da’i Indonesia (SYIDA’I) and Amanah Daya Nusantara (AYANA) jointly organized an Ecological Da’wah Workshop and Strategic Planning Meeting under the theme “Green Da’wah: Fostering Environmental Stewardship and Community Well-Being” at the Ministry of Religious Affairs Training Center in Ciputat.

Climate change continues to have real impacts on communities across Indonesia, ranging from environmental degradation to increasing social vulnerability. In response to these challenges, faith-based communities are strengthening their role in promoting environmental awareness and collective climate action.
