Break Free Action in Jakarta

A woman wears a farmer hat with the words Break Free during a carnival protest to urge the government to end Indonesia’s addiction to coal in front of Japanese embassy in Jakarta. The demonstration, organised by WALHI, Greenpeace and JATAM, started at Bunderan HI and marched to the State Palace. The marchers carried banners calling for Indonesia to reject coal in favour of clean renewable energy, and to honour the commitment made in the Paris Agreement last year, to reduce the country’s carbon emissions.
