Pemenang Lomba Instagram Hari Bumi 2020
 
Hari Bumi yang dirayakan setiap 22 April secara global diikuti oleh sekitar satu milyar penduduk dunia melalui kegiatan kampanye lingkungan, demo terhadap pencemaran, menanam pohon, bersih-bersih kota, dan menetapkan komitmen untuk menjaga bumi.
 
Karena adanya  pandemi COVID-19, maka peringatan setengah abad Hari Bumi tahun ini, dengan tema “Aksi Iklim,”  dirayakan secara digital. Jutaan orang di seluruh dunia bergabung online untuk ikut dalam berbagai kegiatan seperti mengajar, menonton pagelaran musik, dan banyak lagi.
 
Namun, perlu diperhatikan, bahwa tidak semua yang berminat untuk juga menjaga bumi memiliki akses terhadap internet dengan waktu tidak terbatas, dengan kecepatan yang cukup tinggi.
 
KRISIS IKLIM
 
Planet Bumi memang sedang mengalami krisis lingkungan karena polah manusia.  Polusi karbon di udara, yaitu gas-gas rumah kaca akibat penggunaan bahan bakar fosil serta perubahan tata guna lahan, menambah energi matahari yang terperangkap di atmosfer.
 
Iklim global, yaitu statistik cuaca dalam jangka panjang, bervariasi secara alami. Tanpa pengaruh manusia, Bumi memiliki siklus natural yang menggerakkan iklim. Faktor utama yang berkontribusi terhadap perubahan iklim alami ditentukan oleh orbit Bumi mengelilingi matahari, output energi dari matahari, siklus pendinginan dan pemanasan alami lautan, dan variabilitas konstan dalam aktivitas vulkanik
 
Disamping perubahan iklim secara alami, ada juga perubahan iklim antropogenik, yaitu yang diperparah oleh ulah manusia.   Kegiatan manusia yang berlebihan seperti penggunaan bahan bakar fosil dan perubahan tata guna lahan baik pertanian maupun karena deforestasi, serta bermacam pencemaran, menyebabkan emisi gas rumah kaca, yaitu pengeluaran karbon dioksida yang memerangkap panas.
 
Emisi gas rumah kaca meningkatkan suhu atmosfer, yang kemudian meningkatkan penguapan air tanah yang mengakibatkan kekeringan, kebakaran hutan dan gelombang panas di tempat-tempat yang biasanya kering, atau hujan besar dan banjir di daerah yang umumnya basah.
 
Di lautan, air yang lebih hangat juga menguap lebih cepat, meningkatkan kecepatan angin dan hujan badai, yang lonjakannya dapat diperburuk oleh kenaikan permukaan laut.
 
Beberapa bukti nyata yang terjadi dari perubahan iklim antropogenik adalah kenaikan permukaan laut secara keseluruhan, kenaikan suhu, lapisan es dan gletser yang mencair, peningkatan kejadian ekstrem seperti badai yang semakin kuat dan pengasaman laut.
 
Krisis iklim adalah permasalahan global karena emisi gas rumah kaca dari berbagai Negara di dunia akan mempengaruhi atmosfer bumi. Karenanya untuk menyikapi perubahan iklim diperlukan mobilisasi sumber daya secara global pula melalui mitigasi dan adaptasi.
 
Mitigasi adalah upaya memperlambat proses perubahan iklim dengan mengurangi level gas-gas rumah kaca di atmosfera dari kegiatan manusia. Sedangkan adaptasi merupakan cara melindungi manusia dan ruang dengan mengurangi kerentanan terhadap dampak iklim dan meningkatkan ketahanan terhadap perubahan iklim global.
 
LOMBA INSTAGRAM
 
Para peneliti mengatakan bahwa debat publik tentang perubahan iklim, seperti juga hampir semua permasalahan lingkungan,  tidak lagi fokus pada karbon dioksida dan model iklim, namun lebih kepada nilai-nilai, budaya, pandangan dunia, dan ideologi.
 
Semakin besar upaya untuk menyajikan data canggih tentang perubahan iklim, tanpa memperhatikan nilai-nilai yang mengancam perubahan iklim, semakin besar pula resistensi yang ada pada konsensus sosial tentang permasalahan global ini.
 
Karenanya, ada seruan untuk membingkai ulang diskusi tentang krisis iklim bersamaan dengan solusinya, sehingga orang lebih terinspirasi untuk bertindak menyikapinya..
 
Untuk berkomunikasi dan meningkatkan kepedulian generasi muda  terhadap persoalan lingkungan, khususnya krisis iklim, Instagram merupakan sarana yang paling popular di antara berbagai platform media sosial, terutama jika ingin menampilkan gambar-gambar. A picture is worth a thousand words – sebuah gambar bernilai ribuan kata.
 
The Climate Reality Project Indonesia berinisiatif untuk menyelenggarakan peringatan Hari Bumi 2020 dengan melaksanakan acara Lomba Instagram untuk Netizen lewat tema “Jaga Bumi #DirumahSaja”. Lomba ini diharapkan memberikan kontribusi inspirasi positif bagi masyarakat tentang upaya-upaya ringan, bersahaja, namun kreatif dalam menjaga kelestarian bumi dengan #dirumahsaja selama masa pandemi Covid-19. Berbagai upaya tersebut, baik berbasis internet maupun tidak, harus dapat maupun akan dilakukan oleh peserta.
 
Lomba Instagram kemudian dilaksanakan pada periode 16-22 April 2020 dengan mengundang netizen untuk unggah foto atau desain grafis ke akun Instagram masing-masing dengan menyertakan narasi maksimal 200 kata, yang sesuai dengan tema yang ditetapkan, yaitu aktiivitas Jaga Bumi yang juga dapat dan akan dilakukan peserta #DiRumahSaja.

Climate Reality Indonesia
24 April 2020.
 
 

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, is a Hollywood documentary film featuring former US Vice President Al Gore in his tireless fight traveling around the world training an army of climate champions and influencing international climate policy.
 
Cameras follow him behind the scenes – in moments both private and public, funny and poignant – as he pursues the inspirational idea that while the stakes have never been higher, the perils of climate change can be overcome with human ingenuity and passion.
 
As noted by The International Environmental Communication Association, Al Gore is the most distinguished environmental communicator today. We second the opinion and are certain that the documentary An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power along with its accompanying book are the latest and most effective climate change communication tools available.
 
Following the Indonesia Premiere of the movie we encouraged corporations and organizations to have a nobar with their employees and networks to mainstream the issue of the climate crisis and its solutions.
 
Nobar, in Bahasa Indonesia, short for Nonton Bareng or literally translated as Watching Together is a group screening, bettern known as Theater Party.
 
Two companies immediately supported the nobar idea, PT, Bank HSBC Indonesia and Lintas Group, a telecommunication holding company.
 
PT Bank HSBC Indonesia
Part of HSBC Group that in 1884 opened its first branch in Indonesia, PT Bank HSBC Indonesia offers a deep range of products and services in commercial, wholesale and retail banking & wealth management. It now has 99 branches in 29 cities all over Indonesia, employing 4800 people.
 
As the finance sector has an important role in efforts to combat climate change successfully, the HSBC Group states that it will play its full part in the critical transition to a low-carbon economy. It has committed to cut annual carbon emissions from 3.5 tons per employee in 2011 to 2 tons by 2020. In its work with communities the HSBC aims at helping young people reach their potential through access to education and entrepreneurship. 
 
Nuni Sutyoko, Senior Vice President and Head of Corporate Sustainability at PT Bank HSBC Indonesia, strongly suggested organizing the nobar immediately after the Indonesia Premier, to keep the momentum going.
 
PT. Bank HSBC Indonesia describes the documentary as a movie about how close we are to a real climate crisis and to get ready to make a difference for the future of our planet, for the future of our children.
 
A nobar was successfully held on Monday 18 September 2017 at Studio 2 Epicetrum XXI with a 300-seat capacity.  In addition to its employees, PT Bank HSBC Indonesia invited officials from the British Embassy and representative of non-government organizations.

In her remarks at the nobar, Nuni Sutyoko recognized the importance of film as one of the best ways to deliver climate change message. She firmly believes that we all can contribute in understanding the issue and finding the solutions to the climate crisis. 
 
Lintas Group
Since its establishment in 2011, Lintas Group Holding Company  have successfully deployed core infrastructure, applications and managed services solutions to major telecommunication operator across the Indonesian archipelago and abroad.

Lintas Group of Companies consists of PT Lintas Teknologi Indonesia (telco industries), PT Logistik Teknologi Indonesia (enterprise industries), PT Informatika Solusi Bisnis (technology training), and PT LT International (overseas ICT market).
 
Lintas Group who was one of the supporters of the Indonesia Premier organized the nobar in the 300-seat Studio 2 of Epicentrum XXI, in conjuction with its regular Town Meeting on October 6th. The program started with lunch, followed by company update and announcement of its employees of the quarter, and nobar as the finale.
 
Subagia Handaja, the President Director and Founder of Lintas Group, informed us that the screening was mandatory for all of its 200 employees, including the Board of Directors.
 
Those who did not attend the movie screening will be noted and have their work performance points reduced, affecting year-end bonus. Employees on field duty were exempted with letters of permission from their managers.
 
A highlight of the screening was a quiz by the company's Finance Director to all employees:  "Write down what Al Gore says in the movie that is relevant to our company.”
 
Employees put their answers in a box and six people who gave the best answers received US $250 each as gifts from the Finance Director personally (not company funds).

We were all curious on what should be the answer, and found out a week later that the correct answer was: Mother Nature can’t be fooled.

Corporate Benefits
Time and again we mention that nobar of An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power is a powerful opportunity to help raise awareness and to catalyze a global solution to the climate crisis by making urgent action a necessity across every level of society.
 
Corporations and organizations benefit from the nobar as they are recognized as leading proponents to spread the truth about the climate crisis and the importance of implementing solutions together.  Nobar encourages employees and students invited to be in the forefront of the movement to solve climate change problems, by gaining comprehensive knowledge and becoming agents of change.

​The Indonesia Premiere of *An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power* on August 21 received extensive media coverage. Two weeks after the screening there are 76 write-ups monitored, including 25 articles in mainstream media, 4 in national radio stations, 19 online news and features, 11 in movie review blogs and websites, 10 pieces in lifestyle and entertainment portals, and 7 features by Blogger Reporter Indonesia.

An event that follows the premiere, a booktalk on "An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power" on August 25,  also has wide national media coverage, making the total number to 85 articles.

It is an honor for me to be one of the founding members of the International Environmental Communication Association (IECA) and to be invited recently to its prestigious Conference on Communication and Environment in the beautiful University of Leicester Campus in England.

About The IECA

The IECA was established in 2011 to foster effective and inspiring communication that alleviates environmental issues and conflicts, and solves the problems that cause them. The association brings together and supports practitioners, teachers, scholars, students, artists and organizations that share these goals.

This year's conference (COCE 2017) themed Democracy, Borders and Public/Political Engagement: Challenges for Environmental Communication, explored the challenges faced by environmental communication as political landscapes and boundaries experience major upheavals and change, seemingly driven by widespread discontent with conventional politics and its institutions.
 
​In my capacity as Head of the Expert Team at the Office of the President’s Special Envoy for Climate Change as well as the Manager of The Climate Reality Project Indonesia, I had the pleasure of talking about  “Empowering Youth through Environmental Communication. Indonesia Practice Reflections" as a keynote speaker.

Youth Matters
 
Since Indonesia is a country vulnerable to climate change, some of its youth has experienced impacts such as floods, droughts, crops failure, and changes in lifestyle. To increase awareness and actions in addressing climate change, a continuous program for youth is of necessity. 
 
Youth is also part of non-state actors. The recognition of actions by non-state actors is one of the key outcomes of The Paris Climate Agreement. State actors and non-state actors (national governments, cities, regions and other sub national entities, international organizations, civil societies, indigenous peoples, women, youth, academic institutions, as well as businesses) should work as individual entities or in partnerships to accelerate actions – both pre 2020 and afterwards.
 
COCE 2017 was open for scholarly papers and practice reflections in the formats of keynote encounters, art and posters exhibition, workshops, and panel presentations. Ample time during coffee breaks and lunches created excellent networking opportunities for participants from all over the world.

COCE Program
 
Scholars and practitioners presented a myriad of topics in 68 sessions, categorized into among others: digital sites/social media, journalism and the environment, sustainability and communication, ethics and reflection, the anthropocene, food, religion and climate change, visual environmental communication, post-truth and fake-news, de/repoliticization, and managing stakeholders. 
 
The IECA is an official non-governmental organization observer to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its members attended the Conference of Parties in Paris and Marrakech.
 
Hence, at COCE 2017 there was a session on IECA Members’ Observations of Conference of the Parties 21 & 22 (Paris & Marrakech), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, chaired by Stacey Sowards of the University of Texas at El Paso.

Gregg Walker of the Oregon State University, a seasoned COP observer, gave an overview regarding the process of IECA members attending the UNFCCC as well as the Convention history and progress. Members who went to COPs then shared their insights on participating at IECA’s promotional booth, press conferences, main events, side events, and parallel sessions in Paris and Marrakech.

Youth Leadership Camp for Climate Change

The IECA website says “It should be noted that former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for his work in communicating about climate change. That makes him the most distinguished environmental communicator today.”
 
On that account, I am delighted to be able to present about The Youth Leadership Camp for Climate Change at COCE 2017. A series of trainings for 150 Indonesian university students on climate change, it is an exemplary multi-stakeholder collaboration that brought together UNESCO Office Jakarta, UN CC: Learn, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, Youth for Climate Change Indonesia, Office of the President’s Special Envoy for Climate Change, and The Climate Reality Project Indonesia,
 
The Climate Reality Project, founded by Al Gore, is a diverse group of passionate individuals committed to spreading awareness of the climate crisis and working for solutions to the challenge. Currently there are more than 12,000 climate reality leaders, in the age range of 6 to 84, who have been trained by Al Gore and The Climate Reality Project, representing 135 countries.
 
It is my hope that at COP 23 UNFCCC, to be held this year in Bonn, the IECA will have a bigger role in a number of available opportunities, either through its exhibit booth, or organized events at country pavilions.

The Office of the President's Special Envoy for Climate Change Control, Bali Provincial Government,  and The Climate Reality Project Indonesia organized a seminar entitled The Role of Women in Climate Change Control on Thursday, December 8, 2016 at Wiswa Sabha, the Office of the Provincial Governor of Bali in Denpasar.

The purpose of the event, attended by over 150 people representing women's organizations in Bali, is to encourage women to do real and simple activities at individual level, or through collective actions in the community or in the workplace that support changes climate actions.

Speakers for the seminar include Rachmat Witoelar, President's Special Envoy for Climate Change Control; Mrs. Ayu Pastika, Family Welfare and Empowerment, PKK Team Leader of Bali Province; a team from the Environment Agency and the Eco-region Development Control Center of Bali and Nusa Tenggara; Amanda Katili Niode of The Climate Reality Project Indonesia; Suzy Hutomo, climate leader and the Executive Chairwoman of The Body Shop Indonesia and Merdi Sihombing, eco fashion designer  Sihombing who focuses on Indonesian natural products. Murni Titi Resdiana, climate leader and the Assistant to the President's Special Envoy led the seminar sessions.

In his opening remarks, Rachmat Witoelar, the President's Special Envoy for Climate Change Control, stated that Indonesia should immediately change its development paradigm towards low-carbon development. Climate change is caused by human activity, but the good news is, the solution is already available. Women have a big role to convey information and to drive families and communities to take real actions.

Amanda Katili Niode, Manager of The Climate Reality Project Indonesia, said that involving women for climate change activities in Indonesia is necessary. They are very strategic target audience to convey the message of climate change solutions for behavior change in families and societies. All actions can be carried out in accordance with their respective capacities.

Mrs. Ayu Pastika, the Chair of the PKK Family Welfare and Empowerment, stated that climate change is a global problem.  The government as well as societies should be responsible in addressing it. The Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, the three reasons for prosperity (harmony among people, harmony with nature, and harmony with God) can be the basis of the Bali provincial government Green and Clean program. The role of women is very big for the success of this program. Education can be carried out by PKK, not just as a theory expressed, but also actions in the communities with activities that have economic value to the welfare of society such as making compost from organic kitchen waste, or planting a vegetable garden at home.

During the event, Suzy Hutomo shared some information on the environmental programs of The Body Shop Indonesia and actions in her household such as renewable energy, composting, no plastic policy, and reduce, reuse, recycle. Merdi Sihombing spoke about women empowerment programs in making natural textiles coloring from their surroundings, and showed his eco design creations made from natural products specifically from Indonesia.
