A Report on Climate Challenges

Emcee: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SIJA TV, where we bring you an in-depth report
on the unprecedented extreme weather changes occurring in Indonesia. Our field reporter,
Mr.Tedja, is on-site to provide us with the latest updates. Over to you, Mr.Tedja.
Reporter: Thank you, Mrs.Sarah. Right now I’m here in Vocational High School 2 Surabaya.
Over the past few years, Indonesia has experienced a series of extreme weather events that
have left an indelible mark on the nation.
Emcee: Could you shed some light on the specific weather changes that Indonesia is facing?
Reporter: Certainly. One of the most notable phenomena is the increase in the frequency and
intensity of tropical cyclones. The archipelago has been battered by strong winds, heavy
rainfall, and storm surges, causing widespread devastation to coastal communities. The rising
sea levels exacerbate the impact, posing a significant threat to low-lying areas.
Emcee: Are there any initiatives or measures being taken to address these challenges?
Reporter: Yes, the Indonesian government, in collaboration with various NGOs and
international partners, is working on several fronts. Initiatives include the development of
early warning systems, infrastructure improvements, and the promotion of sustainable
agricultural practices.
Emcee: Thank you, Mr.Tedja, for providing us with a comprehensive overview of the
extreme weather changes in Indonesia. It's clear that urgent action is needed to mitigate the
impacts and build resilience in the face of these climate challenges.
Reporter: My pleasure, Mrs.Sarah. The situation here underscores the importance of global
cooperation to address climate change and protect vulnerable communities. Back to you in
the studio.
Emcee: Thank you, Mr.Tedja, for your eye-opening report on Indonesia's weather challenges.
Let's remember, climate change knows no borders. As we conclude, let's commit to global
cooperation and individual responsibility to mitigate its impacts. Stay tuned for more updates
and thank you for joining us today.
