Denpasar, August 25, 2025 – A spirit of urgency and collaboration filled Denpasar this morning as Bali Climate Week 2025 officially opened.
Spotlight on Local Leadership
In the opening session, Dewa Made Indra, Regional Secretary of Bali, delivered remarks on behalf of Governor Wayan Koster. He underlined that Bali’s development vision, Nangun Sat Kerthi Loka Bali, aligns with protecting nature, culture, and communities in a holistic way.
“Through Bali Climate Week 2025, climate commitments and actions at the local level, initiated by communities and local leaders in Bali, will inspire more ambitious climate action in Indonesia.
“Local governments can become the driving force toward a climate-resilient future. The Ministry is ready to support local policies, community innovations, and public engagement.”
Lessons and Inspiration from Other Provinces
"Regional leaders have a key role in implementing local climate action, as they directly experience the impacts of the climate crisis and must engage directly with local issues and contexts. Bali Climate Week will be a first step and a catalyst for inspiration for regional climate leaders, sharing insights and support to achieve regional climate ambitions that support national emission reduction targets."
