Initiatives
Our initiatives bring IKLIM's work areas to life, from learning spaces and music to production standards and policy partnerships. Learning spaces give rise to creative work, creative work moves stages and industries, and stages open the way to policy spaces: one mutually reinforcing ecosystem that weaves climate action into Indonesia's culture, industry, and policy, for a more just and sustainable planet.
A learning space and creative incubator that brings artists and cultural actors together with climate and climate justice experts to deepen their understanding of climate issues: from the root causes of environmental problems and how climate intersects with food, the economy, and gender justice, to creating new work and strengthening movements and communities.
The first chapter in Asia of the global Music Declares Emergency movement, a collective of musicians and music industry professionals committed to protecting life on Earth. The movement invites musicians and music lovers across Indonesia to take part in the ‘No Music on a Dead Planet’ campaign, and invites the music industry to declare a climate emergency and work together toward a carbon-neutral, sustainable future through more responsible culture and operations.
Indonesia's first climate-conscious record label. Since 2023, Alarm Records has released three ‘sonic/panic’ compilation albums, one collaborative album, Menenun Suara Timur, with Indonesia Corruption Watch, and several singles, working with dozens of musicians who voice the climate crisis and climate justice through songs streamed more than 5 million times.
A concrete commitment across the operations and production of music and cultural events, which have grown into spaces of expression, reflection, and real action where music, arts, culture, and environmental awareness come together. IKLIM works to ensure every festival and every music and cultural event is planned and run with the values we stand for: responsible sponsorship and production, green riders for artists, reuse protocols, efficient transport, and proper waste management.
An effort to strengthen the social and political conditions for ambitious climate policy in Indonesia, through partnerships with civil society organizations, policymakers, researchers, and media. Without direct lobbying, this collaborative space builds public legitimacy, credible narratives, and alignment across sectors, so that ambitious and just climate policy gains more room and real public support.
