At JEFF 2026, we want residents to join the conversation, see the possibilities, and get inspired to lead real action in their own backyards," he explained, Thursday (7/2).
Over the two-day event, visitors can witness the debut of the Jakarta Air EWS and a record-breaking simultaneous eco-enzyme production, alongside the grand reopening of the City Hall Waste Station. Dive into eco-forums, explore exhibitions, join career talks, catch short film screenings, or get hands-on in our creative eco-workshops.
The festival features a curated lineup of events, including the Bukan Tentang Sampah (Beyond Waste) exhibition and a talk show titled Merawat Jakarta (Caring for Jakarta). Other highlights include the short film screening Harun Namanya (His Name is Harun) and a collaborative workshop with Paragon on managing empty skincare containers.
Interactive sessions continue with plastic waste upcycling hosted by Rue, reusable menstrual pad training with Daridiri, and a special children's activity, Menggambar Future Jakarta Bersama Bobo (Drawing the Future of Jakarta with Bobo).
Dudi wants the festival to leave a lasting legacy by inspiring people to go green.
"We’re inviting everyone to come over. Let’s transform City Hall into a meeting ground where we learn and take the small steps that will leave a big mark on Jakarta's future," he added.
So, JEFF 2026 welcomes everyone! It’s the perfect place to dive deep into real-world eco-actions. The Environment Agency envisions this festival as a spark to turn sustainability into a daily habit, empowering people to lead greener lives at home, school, the office, and beyond.
