2023 awardees
MEET THE 2023 CLIMATE BREAKTHROUGH AWARDEES: Gita 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 and Jane are two inspiring leaders who have already made remarkable contributions to addressing the climate crisis, and now they’re setting their sights on even more ambitious goals,” said Climate Breakthrough Executive Director Savanna Ferguson. “I’m grateful that Climate Breakthrough can serve as a catalyst for their transformative climate efforts. Both intend to pursue work at a national level, which, based as they are in two of the world’s largest emitters, has the potential for global impact.
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.
