Climate Quickie: How Indonesia’s capital city move is displacing Indigenous Peoples

Kynan Tegar, an 18-year old filmmaker and Indigenous Dayak Iban, joins Climate Curious to unearth the truth behind Indonesia’s capital city relocation. Specifically, why the government’s move of the capital from Jakarta to Borneo – to become a so-called “sustainable forest city” – is a pipe dream. Kynan shares how the capital city move imperils Indigenous communities throughout Borneo that have stewarded the land successfully for centuries. Recorded live at Our Village NYC Climate Week.
