Josi Khatarina from Indonesia has been selected from more than 2000 Australasian applicants to complete a three day intensive course where she will learn to deliver a version the slide show from the documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

It is the first time people from the Asia Pacific region have been specifically included in the program which builds on the work of The Climate Project - Australia.

The A-P Summit brings together 300 people representing a broad cross section of people from a diverse cross section of industry, advocacy and broad social groupings from Australasia and the Asia Pacific region. They will benefit from Mr’s Gore tutelage and the expertise of a panel of international scientists.

Once trained, Josi commits to completing 10 activities – to an audience of (his/her) choice. Five of those activities need be completed by November 30. The activities might be speaking to work colleagues about climate change, delivering a climate change presentation or talking to the media about her role.

“We are extremely proud of Josi’s achievement and we will support her over the year to ensure she is as effective as possible. As an organisation and an Indonesian we are committed to taking real strides on order to help avoid the worst of the climate crisis” Rino Subagyo, The ICEL Executive Director said.

“The climate crisis is a challenge for all of us.”

In Australia, one in seventy five Australians have now seen a presentation delivered by one of the 250 Al Gore trained Climate Project presenters working throughout communities in Australia.
