Job description

Climate change has become a global challenge that deeply affects the lives of children everywhere. In Indonesia, the impacts are already visible—particularly in densely populated urban areas like Jakarta. For children growing up in informal settlements, floods, air pollution, and extreme weather are not distant threats but part of daily life. These conditions disrupt education, limit safe spaces for play, and create constant fear of the next disaster, ultimately hindering children’s opportunities to learn and build a better future. Jakarta is among the world’s most climate‑vulnerable cities. Rapid urbanization, land subsidence, inadequate drainage systems, and rising sea levels have all contributed to increasingly severe flooding each year. At the same time, pollution from traffic and industry continues to degrade air quality, affecting millions of residents—especially children—whose health and development depend on a safe, clean environment.

The CERIA (Climate Education, Resilience, and Innovation Action) project was designed to respond to these challenges. Over three years (1st January 2026‑31 December 2028), it will be implemented by Plan Indonesia in partnership PREDIKT. The focus target participants are in 15 schools, 30 youth‑led organizations, and two local climate networks. The project will focus on three administrative areas of Jakarta—North, West, and East Jakarta—where communities face high vulnerability to climate‑related hazards. The project will engage approximately 6,000 children aged 7–13 and 3,000 young people aged 14–24. Activities will include strengthening climate education in schools, supporting youth‑led community climate actions, and advancing inclusive, gender‑responsive advocacy on climate policies. Through these efforts, the project aims to enhance the capacity of children and young people to adapt to climate risks and to contribute actively to building resilient communities.
