 The Queen Elizabeth Scholarship – UMAP Climate Change Adaptability Project at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is a comprehensive program addressing one of today’s most critical global challenges: building resilience to climate change and disaster risks. As Indonesia faces increasing threats from rising sea levels, extreme weather, and coastal erosion, the program offers international students both academic knowledge and hands-on experience to understand and respond to these issues. Through coursework, research internships, and community engagement, participants develop essential skills for future careers in sustainability, environmental policy, and disaster management. Courses in Environmental Engineering and Urban and Regional Planning focus on climate change, green technology, natural resources, and sustainable development. Designed for students from diverse academic backgrounds, they ensure accessibility while providing a solid foundation in climate resilience. A highlight of the program is the internship at the ITS Research Center for Disaster Mitigation and Climate Change. Its flagship Disaster Resilient School project employs virtual reality (VR) technology to enhance disaster preparedness in vulnerable schools, linking science and innovation with real-world impact. Students also join community initiatives such as mangrove planting, urban farming, reforestation, and climate education workshops. These activities combine modern approaches with indigenous practices, promoting inclusive and sustainable adaptation strategies. By integrating technology, research, and community collaboration, the program prepares participants to become globally minded leaders in climate resilience and sustainable development—empowered to make meaningful contributions to both local and global communities.
