The event opened with an opening speech from the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower, followed by a presentation from the ILO.

Therefore, let us increase awareness and participation in reducing emissions,” said Abdul Hakim, Programme Officer for ILO Indonesia—Timor Leste.
In an informative presentation session, Rani Miranti, S.KM, HSE Manager at PT Panasonic Manufacturing Indonesia, added, “We are no longer in the era of global warming, but now we are in the era of global boiling.”

Following the presentations by the three speakers, the event continued with a talk show session aimed at deepening and providing perspectives on the role of OSH workers in facing climate change.
