Located in the equatorial region with extensive tropical forests and a strategic geographical location, Indonesia plays a significant role in the global climate system and climate change issues.
The country's complex meteorological and tropical climatological phenomena heavily influence worldwide weather and climate patterns. Thus, to address this challenge, climate variability and change are integrated into education, supported by research and community engagement initiatives.
The Climate Change course at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) involved 72 participants aged 18–24, primarily from the class of 2021 (70.8%). These students represented 12 study programs across six faculties and schools. With a wide spread of participant came from all
around Indonesia 16 provinces and 46 cities or regencies, with the majority from Java Island.
Key concerns identified by students include carbon emissions, renewable energy, natural resource management, environmental impacts, and strategies for climate adaptation and mitigation. Technological solutions emphasized by students include Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) and
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), renewable energy systems, green technologies, sustainable product design for automotive and aviation industries, energy management, and climate-resilient infrastructure.

such as floods and landslides due to extreme rainfall. This study aims to
identify changes in the influence of ENSO and IOD on extreme rainfall across
Indonesia, specifically during the September-October-November period. We
used rainfall and sea surface temperature data from the CMIP6 climate model
for the historical period (1985-2014), near-future (2031-2060), and far-future
(2061-2090) projections under SSP2-4.5 and SSP 5-8.5 climate scenarios. The
relation between rainfall dan ENSO/IOD was simply defined by linear
regression approach. We analyzed the change of influence by comparing the
historical and the future condition. The results indicated that the changes in
the teleconnection of ENSO and IOD to extreme rainfall in future is
consistently negative, except for Java (near-future) and Kalimantan and
southern Sumatra (far-future). Our finding revealed that significant changes
in the teleconnection varied throughout maritime continent. The maximum
change was found in Northern Kalimantan, which reached values of -80
mm/°C due to ENSO and -180 mm/°C due to IOD for near future. These
findings highlight the spatial variability in teleconnection changes across
Indonesia, underscoring the need for region-specific climate adaptation
measures in response to evolving extreme rainfall patterns.

MJO propagation is not always the same, previous research has classified MJO into 4 categories: slow, fast, stand, and jump. The objective of this study is to investigate the differences in MJO propagation and the factors that impact it. Daily data for variables such as Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR), zonal wind, and sea surface temperature are utilized in this research. The collected data is processed using composite methods based on the 8 MJO phases, with a specific focus on the years 2020, 2021, and 2022. The research findings suggest that warm sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean and zonal winds dominated by Kelvin waves are favorable for MJO propagation. Conversely, cooling sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean and zonal winds dominated by equatorial Rossby waves can hinder MJO propagation. Future researchers are expected to examine the impact of MJO propagation during extreme rainfall occurrences in several regions of Indonesia, as well as the application of machine learning and deep learning methods to predict MJO propagation in the future.
