As the world’s largest coal exporter, Indonesia has the power to turn the tide on the world’s addiction to dangerous fossil fuels and lead the way into future powered by renewable energy. With the inauguration of Joko Widodo, this is the opportunity for Indonesia to commit to replacing dirty fossil fuels with renewable energy. But the fossil fuel industry will be pressuring Joko Widodo to keep burning dirty fossil fuels that pollute our water and cause climate change. That’s why we need as many people as possible to show Joko Widodo that the people want action on climate change.

Urge Joko Widodo to make a statement committing his administration to building a clean, safe, and renewable future for our people now.

What scientists are telling us is simple: we need urgent action around the world to avert a climate catastrophe. If we want to keep climate change to manageable levels 80% of unburned fossil fuels need to stay in the ground.

President-elect, Joko Widodo, could lead Indonesia towards a clean, safe, and sustainable future. One where renewable energy replaces dirty fossil fuels. These kinds of energy are not only better for our climate but they are better for our land and our people. If we take this opportunity now, we can rapidly create an economy that is safe and sustainable for our generation and future generations.

Indonesia has so much potential to harness clean energy coming from the sun, the wind, and water. Harnessing this potential will create opportunities and jobs and end Indonesia's reliance on dirty fossil fuels.

We believe that the new administration of the Indonesian government can respond to the urgency of the climate crisis with action, not words. By digging up more coal and oil we are only inviting more disasters. Urge Joko Widodo to committing to building a clean, safe, and renewable future for our people now.
