MEET THE 2023 CLIMATE BREAKTHROUGH AWARDEESGita Syahrani of Indonesia (left) and Jane Fleming Kleeb of the United States (right) are the 2023 Climate Breakthrough Awardees. They join a distinguished group of extraordinary leaders who are working to reduce global annual emissions by hundreds of millions of tons, affect entire industries or regions of the world, and materially change the lives of millions of people.

Gita has spent her career convening industries, jurisdictions, development partners and communities to spur collective environmental and sustainability action in Indonesia. Meanwhile, Jane’s climate action journey has demonstrated the power of unexpected alliances of farmers, ranchers, indigenous leaders, and climate campaigners in rural America—communities that can be the powerhouse of America’s clean energy future.
