In 2021 the Indonesia Board of the INS has taken the initiative to organize a serial webinar with a specific focus on sustainability and climate change in Indonesia. Each session brought together experts from Indonesia and the Netherlands to share knowledge, insights, and ideas with the audience. Furthermore, the audience was encouraged to interact with one another. These webinars fit perfectly with the ambition of INS to add value to our partners by bringing knowledge and networks together.
In preparing the webinars we collaborated with the following friends of INS: Nuffic Neso Indonesia, ID Volunteer, IDN Livable Cities, Indonesian Diaspora Network Global, IDN Netherlands, PPI Belanda, Bicara Udara, KataData Insight Center, Club House, and Green New Deal Indonesia.
- Webinar 1 (14/10/2021): Avoiding climate catastrophe: How can sustainable agriculture and innovative green financing help?
This first INS Webinar focused on agriculture as a necessary component not only for economic growth, but also for ensuring food security for the world’s expanding population in a time of climate change.
Keynote speakers Johan Kieft and Rama Manusama shared their insights and expertise in a session moderated by Agus Sari. A diverse group of participants from universities, businesses, and public institutions from Indonesia and the Netherlands attended.
- Webinar 2 (20/11/2021): The Battle for Clean Air in Jakarta: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
