The Climate Project Welcomes Indonesia as its Newest International Branch

08/03/09

The Climate Project is pleased to announce the establishment of an official branch in Indonesia. Formal recognition was given to the Indonesian branch at TCP's Asia-Pacific Summit in Melbourne, Australia. As the largest archipelago, or cluster of islands in the world by size, Indonesia is one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of climate change. During the Asia Pacific Summit, former Vice President Al Gore trained 54 Indonesian presenters from Java, Kalimanan, Sumatera, and Sulawesi. Since then, presentations have been requested by corporations, non-profit organizations, community and conservation foundations, and regional and city governments.
 
TCP's newest Indonesian presenters are featured in the photo. Under the guidance of Amanda Katili-Niode as manager, TCP-Indonesia will operate independently as a non-profit organization with assistance from the Indonesian National Council on Climate Change. Katili-Niode, trained as a presenter by Gore in April 2008, is the special assistant to the Minister of Environment. She is also the Coordinator of the Communication, Information and Education Division at the Indonesian National Council on Climate Change.

The Climate Project is Al Gore's climate change leadership program and is a part of the Alliance for Climate Protection, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. TCP's mission is to educate the public about the harmful effects of climate change and to work toward solutions at a grassroots level worldwide. TCP supports more than 3,500 diverse and dedicated volunteers worldwide. TCP Presenters have delivered 70,000 presentations and have reached a combined global audience of 7.3 million people.
