BALIKPAPAN - Candidate for president serial number 3 Ganjar Pranowo proposed that the issue of climate change be included in the education curriculum because this issue has not been widely understood by local people.

"The way is through education, there is nothing else. We can entrust it to the curriculum of teachers regarding the issue of climate change. So that young people care about the issue," said Ganjar in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, December 5.

For this reason, efforts are needed to convince the community, especially the lower middle class. In addition to the curriculum, socialization of climate change issues can involve personnel, such as traditional leaders, religious leaders, and environmental activists.

According to Ganjar, these new sciences need to be conveyed downwards.

He also gave an example of his pattern of socialization by grafting real technology in the form of panel energy.

"Oh, this panel energy can be more efficient. You can also talk about the energy transition of the battery use transportation system in the hope that emissions can be reduced," he said.

Furthermore, how to observe forests to answer post-exploitation of natural resources.

The point, continued Ganjar, is that people are able to mitigate damage so that it doesn't get worse. "So, it's important to educate. Education is nothing else," he added.

During a visit to Balikpapan, Ganjar prayed Zuhur at the At-Taqwa Grand Mosque, Balikpapan City, before lunch with the leader of the coalition of political parties carrying out and volunteer figures at the Jogja Makan Warung.

Ganjar also visited the Disability Job Training Center at Loka Bina Karya Balikpapan, followed by Sowan to the Syaichona Cholil Islamic Boarding School Balikpapan.

In the evening, Ganjar ate with traditional Dayak and interfaith community leaders, then continued a casual talk at the "Nongkrong Together Millennials, GenZ and Local Influencers" event.
