Indonesia Encourages Impact-Based Water Funding for Nature and Citizens

Changes in Habits and Policies

To support this agenda, Jumhur introduced the concept of "Ecological Repentance". He explained it as an invitation to change the way nature is treated, from exploitation to protection.

The concept includes five steps, namely reflecting on the impacts of the past, stopping destructive practices, improving habits and policies, restoring ecosystems, and making sustainable practices part of daily life and government governance.

IWC-11 raised the theme "Shared Waters, Transformative Solutions: Enabling System Changes". According to KLH/Environmental Management Agency (BPLH), the forum in Bali is also a link for the water management cooperation agenda towards the UN Water Conference in Abu Dhabi in December 2026.

"The waters that we share are our shared responsibility," said Jumhur.
