International Symposium on Coastal Cities, Marine Resources, and Climate Change in the Coral Triangle
The International Symposium on Coastal Cities, Marine Resources, and Climate Change in the Coral Triangle has been held in the Sultan Hotel, Jakarta on the 4 July 2013 and in the Central Library, the University of Indonesia campus on the 5 July 2013. Prior to symposium, a workshop on APRU Knowledge-Action discussing research-policy partnership in action was conducted on the 3 July 2013 at Sultan Hotel, Jakarta.
Professional Training Program 2014
An environmental strategic, economy, and social which is effective, efficient, and sustainable to help reducing forest conversion and carbon emisson—known as Reducing Emission from Deforestaion and forest Degradation (REDD)—has been taught by many trainers in various places. Basically, the strategy provides a carbon-trade mechanism to reduce forest conversion along with carbon emission produced from forest logging. Even though REDD mechanism has been available as a concept for time being, the execution to achieve realistic result, reducing forest conversion, conserving biodiversity, and considering the rights of local forest community was proven to be difficult.

Population Response and Adaptation to Air Pollution and Climate Change Impacts in Urban Areas Symposium
Climate change is a dynamic and systemic problem which affects the whole human activities. Rising of temperature and changing of weather pattern are also affecting agriculture and fishery activities. Besides, the rising of sea-level has been a daily problem for the coastal community in Indonesia. The impact of climate change has reached every sectors from socio-economy to environment and others related to health, food security, ecosystem, and biodiversity. Based on that facts, climate change issue is in need for contribution from various sector and thoughts outside general idea.
RCCC-UI is Hosting Analysis for REDD+
RCCC-UI is Hosting A Master Class on Policy Analysis for REDD+: Within a Decentralised Context. REDD+ requires developing countries (and local governments) to set aside additional forest conservation areas that may not necessarily yield additional environmental services for local residents. Additional forest conservation competes with other land-use activities, such as commercial logging, timber plantations and oil palm plantations, which can legally take place in productive forestlands. REDD+ involves technical complexity in terms of its design and implementation and it is also very contentious as stakeholders have different values towards land use and forest management. For this reason, local governments need to be familiar with frameworks and tools of policy analysis for REDD+ and, most importantly, have the capacity to define policy problems and solutions with relevant stakeholders.
