Amirah's organization, Green Welfare Indonesia, was established as Indonesia's first youth-led NGO promoting social sustainability through climate education.[6] Recognizing the critical importance of climate literacy, she works to bridge the gap in behavioral change and drive practical action at the grassroots level, particularly through climate education at the nexus of restoration, energy, and agriculture in different levels of society. [7] Nala is also currently focusing on uplifting young girls-led climate curriculums and integrating them into formal education in Indonesia. [8] [9]
