Greenpeace Indonesia activists have engaged in demonstrations in Jakarta to protest the Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka administration. Activists used the Bundaran HI landmark to display banners linking the climate crisis to the rising cost of living and ecological disasters. A Greenpeace research report, ‘Besok Harga Naik! Gambaran Dampak Krisis Iklim dari Tempat Kerja, Meja Makan, dan Rumah,’ was released to illustrate how climate change impacts food prices and household stability.

Following a protest on October 20, 2026, where activists scaled the Selamat Datang Monument, six Greenpeace members were detained by police. Authorities and TNI personnel removed the protest banners, and several activists were taken for medical evaluation after one individual appeared weak during the descent. The detainees were expected to undergo further questioning at the Mapolda Metro Jaya headquarters.
