17 Oktober 2022, 19:00

Off The Script with Gundy Cahyadi presents Gita Syahrani Head Secretariat of Lingkar Temu Kabupaten Lestari (LKTL). Gita is an environmental and forest activist from the heart. She graduated with her education in climate change and energy law at University of Dundee. She spent more than 15 years experience working with government, private sector, also civil society in a variety of aspects on sustainability such as commodity supply-chain, climate financing and green investment law & policy.

Now Gita is still determined to contribute more to protecting Indonesia's environment. She joined the Lingkar Temu Kabupaten Lestari (LTKL), an association formed and managed by several district governments aiming to support regional development, reflecting on the principle of sustainability. Here for 9 years she concocted the recipe for "Kabupaten Lestari" which can be replicated by all districts in Indonesia.

Gita shares a strategy for district governments not only to change collective action into systemic change but also to be more flexible with other districts so that they can scale-up their own.

The two also believe that achieving the SDGs target requires a lot of effort and funds, so the government cannot act alone but must have collective work.
