Former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is scheduled to visit Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan, to attend the Governors Climate Forum, which will be held in September 2011.
The forum is a meeting of governors from around the world set to discuss climate issues. Palangkaraya will serve as host this year.
Central Kalimantan Governor Teras Narang said that Schwarzenegger will act as a speaker in the forum.
“Arnold, who is an environmental activist with great compassion for our climate issues, is scheduled to come as a speaker,” he said on Friday, as reported by kompas.com.
Schwarzenegger, who was once a Hollywood action star, helped initiate the forum.
Central Kalimantan has been chosen as the host because it has shown progress in dealing with environmental issues over the last five years.
Governors from around 30 countries, including the United States, Brazil and Malaysia are scheduled to attend the forum.
Teras added that the governors invited were those who have shown commitment to climate change and concern for reducing carbon emissions.
