Bicara Iklim #1 I Perang dan El Niño, Ancaman dan Solusi untuk Ketahanan Pangan Nasional

The global crisis and climate change are increasingly impacting the food sector. In Bicara Iklim #1, LaporIklim raised the theme "War and El Niño: Threats and Solutions for National Food Security" to examine the link between geopolitical dynamics, extreme weather, and rising food prices. Motivated by Ahmad Arif (Journalist, Founder of LaporIklim) and Malika (Journalist), the discussion featured a number of speakers from various fields. Siswanto from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) explained the El Niño phenomenon and its influence on climate patterns in Indonesia. Prof. Suryo Wiyono from IPB University reviewed its impact on the agricultural sector, while Bhima Yudhistira from CELIOS presented the economic side, including pressure on fertilizer prices and production costs. Through lighthearted yet data-driven discussions, Bicara Iklim strives to present climate issues in a more down-to-earth manner. The discussion highlights how disruptions to global supply chains, energy policies, and food systems impact the lives of farmers and the wider community. This program emphasizes that the climate crisis is not just talk, but a real problem that requires a collective response, both in terms of policy and public awareness.
