Indonesia is a country rife with biodiversity and natural resources. It is also a country where climate change is not a distant future, but a widespread reality. Imagine if New York was sinking into the ocean, and you have Jakarta, the nation’s coastal capitol and the fastest-sinking city in the world. When Pope Francis and the Grand Imam signed a joint declaration this summer calling for “decisive action” toward climate change, Catholic communities all over the archipelago celebrated his arrival with their own climate-centered community action. In Yogyakarta, Catholic community organizers are working diligently toward climate action.
