Climate changes
On October 28, 1928, young people from various regions across the archipelago came together and declared the Youth Pledge, a milestone that affirmed the nation’s identity: one motherland, one nation, one language, Indonesia. Eighty-seven years later, that spirit still resonates, but now faces a new challenge, the climate crisis.
If the struggle in the past was against colonialism, today’s struggle is against global warming. According to the UNDP Youth Climate Report 2023 (undp.org), more than 70% of young Indonesians express a high concern for environmental and climate issues. This shows that the spirit of the Youth Pledge has evolved into a spirit to protect the Earth, our shared home.
Does loving one’s country only mean raising the flag and singing the national anthem? Today’s young generation proves that nationalism can take shape in real environmental action.
Eco-volunteer movements, tree-planting communities, and digital initiatives such as carbon tracking apps have become new ways to ignite the spirit of patriotism. By planting a tree or reducing their carbon footprint, young people are helping to preserve Indonesia’s natural sustainability.
According to Climate Reality Project Indonesia, consistent individual actions such as reducing plastic use, saving energy, and using low-emission transportation can cut emissions by up to 20% within a decade. This is the modern form of patriotism, protecting the planet on which our nation stands.
In the era of digital transformation, young people are not only active on social media but also use technology to create environmental solutions. The Jejakin app, for instance, connects individuals and companies in real actions such as tree planting, carbon footprint tracking, and sustainability reporting.
Through a data-driven sustainability approach, young people can understand the real impact of their actions. They are not only speaking out about climate change but also measuring, managing, and monitoring its effects. This proves that the collaborative spirit of the Youth Pledge has now transformed into collaborative climate action.
Many green movements are born from the hands of young people. For example, Bye Bye Plastic Bags, initiated by two teenagers from Bali, has now grown into an international movement. Or Youth for Climate Indonesia, which advocates for environmental policies and educates thousands of students across different regions.
These movements show that great change can start from small steps. Just as the Youth Pledge was born in a small discussion room in Batavia, today’s environmental actions begin in communities and evolve into national movements.
When thousands of young people move together, the impact is not only felt in cities but also in forests and coastal areas, where the future of the planet is at stake.
The question now is, does that spirit still live within us? Amid social, economic, and technological challenges, do we still have room to fight for the Earth?
The Youth Pledge teaches that change begins with awareness and unity. Today, that spirit can be realized through climate action, whether by joining tree-planting movements, supporting eco-friendly products, or encouraging others to care.
Through platforms like Jejakin, that spirit finds its new form, from pledge to action, from words to transformation. Because protecting the Earth is not only a responsibility, but also the truest form of love for Indonesia.
The Youth Pledge of 1928 is a symbol of the nation’s birth. The climate actions of 2025 are a symbol of the nation’s maturity. Both are born from the same spirit, the courage to change for the future.
The young generation of Indonesia now carries that torch, lighting the path toward a nation that is not only free but also sustainable.
Jejakin’s green programs combine high-tech monitoring, biodiversity restoration, and community-led initiatives to deliver powerful, sustainable change across ecosystems.
