Our climate is rapidly changing and though we may feel our individual environmental footprints are insignificant, the choices we make in our day-to-day life collectively contribute to climate change.

One way we can attempt to reduce our carbon footprint is by living more sustainably and this involves changing the way we get around, consume energy and eat.

Environmental activists in Australia, Indonesia and around the world are in a race to promote sustainable living as a means to combat climate change.

In this episode our guests Lia Zakiyyah and Stephanie Arrowsmith will talk about the importance of young people as drivers of change and how Australia and Indonesia can collaborate to promote sustainability.

Lia is serving as a communication specialist for the President’s Special Envoy on Climate Change. She has been involved in various initiatives in national and regional level, both as organiser or speaker, mainly related to environment, climate change, and entrepreneurship.

Stephanie is co-founder of Impact Hub Jakarta, a coworking community and innovation hub for purpose-driven startups and partner at VSS - Vision Strategy Storytelling, a consultancy focused on crafting and sharing powerful stories of visionary companies.

Both Lia and Stephanie are CAUSINDY 2016 alumni.
