| Program Description | QES-UMAP-ITS: Climate Change Adaptability Project Topic: Disaster and Climate Risk Resilience in Indonesia Program Overview This program is designed as a platform for eligible UMAP Canada member institutions to nominate Canadian and Permanent Resident students within the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship project entitled “Addressing Climate Change in Asia and the Pacific – Leveraging University Mobility in Asia and the Pacific (UMAP) for Action”. By participating in this program, students will develop a strong professional network with climate resilience experts, environmental organizations, and community leaders, equipping them for future careers in sustainability, environmental policy, and disaster management. Program Objectives Indonesia faces significant risks from climate-related disasters, including rising sea levels, extreme weather, and coastal erosion, which jeopardize local livelihoods and infrastructure. In this mobility program, students will not only attend regular classes (mandatory) but also participate in a community engagement project (co-curricular) and an internship program (mandatory) aimed at boosting disaster and climate risk resilience through community-based adaptation and capacity building. Participants will collaborate closely with local communities to evaluate climate vulnerabilities, develop localized adaptation strategies, and implement nature-based solutions. By combining scientific methods with indigenous knowledge, this initiative seeks to empower communities to build long-term resilience against climate-related hazards. | |
