Facing Rob Flood, 30 Students Join Pekalongan Climate School

PEKALONGAN, GARISBUMI.com – As many as 30 students from 10 high schools/vocational schools in Pekalongan City took part in the Climate School Program to study the challenges of land subsidence and tidal flooding. They are prepared to carry out climate change adaptation projects, ranging from urban agriculture to water conservation.

The program opened at the Permata Room Hotel Nirwana, Pekalongan City, Friday (9/10/2026). This activity invites students to understand coastal environmental issues through learning, field observations and actions in the surrounding environment.

Project Officer Comdev Program Adaptation Fund KEMITRAAN Indonesia, Eva S. Nisa, said that students are expected to be able to bring about change through simple habits that are beneficial for the environment.

"The hope is that all 30 students can become agents of change. They can do small things, even though they are simple, but are beneficial for themselves and the environment," he said after the opening.

Pekalongan Climate School is a KEMITRAAN program with Evorise Consulting or PT Evorise Strategi Lestari as the technical implementer. This activity also involves the KOBAR Community or Young Generation Action Collaboration.

Learning takes place through three stages, namely learning, acting and communicating. With this stage, participants are invited to recognize environmental conditions, take action, then share their knowledge with others.

After the opening, the students visited the Hoegeng Stadium to observe land subsidence and its monitoring devices. They also learned about waste management and the principles of reducing, reusing and recycling or 3R at TPS-3R Padukuhan Kraton.
