Jakarta, VIVA – In a significant development at the Indonesia International Sustainability Forum (ISF) 2024, EarthPledge, a youth-led environmental initiative, launched a revolutionary platform powered by blockchain technology.
The platform is designed to connect grassroots sustainability projects with global donors and advocates, promoting transparency and accountability in the fight against climate change.
Inaugurated by President Joko Widodo, the ISF 2024 served as the ideal stage for EarthPledge’s groundbreaking initiative.

time. This transparency ensures that project actions and supporter contributions are fully traceable.
Christopher Ginting, founder of EarthPledge, emphasized the platform's transformative potential:
“We live on one planet. The problems of our neighboring countries are our shared problems. EarthPledge facilitates collaboration so that environmental and sustainability challenges can be tackled hand in hand, by all parties and across all age groups.”
Ginting also highlighted how blockchain addresses two key issues that grassroots projects face: lack of visibility and trust. With blockchain, EarthPledge ensures that donors can see precisely how their contributions are utilized, empowering small, often overlooked projects to gain attention from larger funders.
The platform has already attracted interest from major environmental organizations such as Project TERA, CarbonEthics, and Earth Security. EarthPledge’s collaboration with Project TERA will launch a program to plant one million mangrove trees starting in August 2024, a move set to improve coastal ecosystems and benefit local communities.
Shinta Kamdani, Vice Chairwoman of Kadin’s Maritime and Investment division, praised the initiative:
“By creating an inclusive platform and utilizing sustainable technology, EarthPledge ensures progress is not only visible but measurable.”
With EarthPledge’s blockchain-powered platform, a new era in global climate collaboration has begun, driving trust, transparency, and impactful solutions for the environment.
