THE EDITOR – Sultan Bachtiar Najamudin is keen to champion the Green Village program.
He believes the eco-village initiatives require parallel execution to avoid impending ecological crises.
“Villages play a crucial role in advancing national development, particularly concerning food production and ecological balance. This is essential for securing and defending the future of villages from potential natural disasters and climate change,” he explained
He voiced this statement directly to the invited guests at the 2026 National Village event in Boyolali, Central Java, including Minister Yandri Susanto.
Furthermore, he also wants the government to recognize village officials who actively manage and safeguard forest and marine environments.
He intends to make this program implemented consistently, not merely once or twice.
