        "content": "<p>The United Nations (UN) in Indonesia is inviting the public to take\naction against climate change through The Green Community Festival, held\nto commemorate World Environment Day 2026. \u201cClimate action is not just\nabout large-scale policies. It is also about the choices we make every\nday, at home, at school, in our communities, and in how we care for one\nanother,\u201d said Miklos Gaspar, Director of the UN Information Centre in\nIndonesia (UNIC), in a statement on Friday (26\/6). He added that World\nEnvironment Day is \u201ca moment to listen to the signals the Earth is\nsending us, and to respond with action.\u201d The festival, held at Martha\nChristina Tiahahu Park, Blok M Literacy Park, Jakarta, on Thursday, was\nattended by hundreds of participants from communities, youth groups,\ncivil society organisations, and the general public to discuss, learn,\nand carry out environmental action. According to UNIC, the festival was\norganised amid the increasing impacts of climate change, marked by some\nof the hottest years on record and the rising frequency and impact of\nclimate-related disasters. UNIC also noted that the impacts of climate\nchange are felt most acutely by communities that have already faced\nclimate disasters directly. The event featured urban farming workshops,\na talk show on green investment, sustainability-themed games, musical\nperformances, and exhibition booths involving UNICEF, FAO, UNEP, UNHCR,\nIOM, UNDP, UN Women, government partners, civil society organisations,\nand environmental communities. One of the festival\u2019s main agendas was\nthe announcement of the Cool School Challenges, an initiative inviting\nsenior high school students across Indonesia to develop ideas and\nactions for creating more sustainable schools and communities. The\nprogramme received 76 submissions from senior high schools in various\nregions. A total of 15 finalists were selected from Aceh, West Java,\nCentral Java, East Java, East Kalimantan, and West Nusa Tenggara. The\ndiverse ideas submitted included school greening, waste reduction, urban\nfarming, energy saving, environmental campaigns, and community-based\nclimate solutions. Miklos Gaspar remarked that the 76 submissions\ndemonstrate that the younger generation is not waiting for others to\nact. \u201cThey have already started in their own schools and communities,\u201d\nhe said. \u201cThat gives us hope.\u201d<\/p>",
