WHAT DRIVES ME — Passions
Advocating for energy transition, climate action, and sustainable development through research that holds powerful actors accountable and amplifies underrepresented voices. WHY THIS WORK - I had an epiphany that the climate crisis is an intergenerational injustice. With the current rate of emissions, my generation faces an unprecedented environmental crisis, and I refuse to believe that our destiny is predetermined to be at stake. I believe that young people deserve to co-design the systems that shape their future. - The repercussions of the climate crisis disproportionately affect vulnerable and lower-income communities in developing countries. The wealthiest 10% of the global population, primarily from North America and Europe, are responsible for approximately 50% of cumulative carbon emissions, while the poorest 50% have contributed less than 10%. This highlights the responsibility of wealthy polluters not only to reduce emissions but also to provide financial and technological support for developing nations. - I come from Indonesia, one of the world’s largest emitters and most climate-vulnerable countries. That duality drives my conviction that climate finance, mitigation targets, and accountability frameworks must reflect historical responsibility and equity.
