From Jakarta, Indonesia, Yasmina writes a ‘Dear Son’ letter to her teenage son about growing up in a changing world. Yasmina set up a grassroots climate project for families after becoming increasingly worried about the impact of environmental change on her children. She tells Namulanta Kombo about her own childhood, why she wants her children to understand the environment, and the everyday choices her family makes at home.
