Tony will discuss about "Transformative Learning of Environmental Science and Renewable Energy for SDGs in Higher Education". Mainstreaming Education for the SDGs can be difficult within existing university structures, and deeper transformations in how universities operate will be needed to ensure this happens fast enough and deep enough for Environmental Science and Renewable Energy issue. This guide aims to inspire universities to take action and support them through this process, regardless of their context, capacity, or starting point. It does this by offering practical approaches and guidance, including the case for action, the different ways Education for the SDGs can be implemented in a university, the outline of a strategic implementation process, the roles of different stakeholders, how to overcome common barriers, and in-depth analysis of transformative examples.


Prof. Dr. Ir. Riri Fitri Sari MM MSc.
Chairperson of UI Greenmetric, Indonesia

Prof. Dr. Ir. Riri Fitri Sari MM MSc. will discuss about "Enhancing a Strategic of Environmental Science and Renewable Energy of SDGs in Higher Education"There will be a lot of discussion about how important it is to be a tertiary institution that has principles and goals in line with the globally mandated SDGs. The strategy of higher education institutions in Indonesia and abroad, especially those selected for the UI Greenmetric, is an indicator that these tertiary institutions play a large role in achieving the SDGs through academic activities, research, and social activities that involve people from all walks of life, especially Environmental Science and Renewable Energy issues.


Assoc. Prof. Muhammad Abd Hadi Bunyamin, Ph.D
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
, Malaysia

Assoc. Prof. Muhammad Abd Hadi Bunyamin, Ph.D. will provide an overview of "STEM of Environmental Science and Renewable Energy for the Future of SDGs in Higher Education"The potential of research interests in STEM integration particularly on how new science teachers integrate engineering and technology into science lessons. STEM education can help learners acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are essential for achieving the SDGs. For example, STEM education can foster critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, innovation, collaboration, communication, and ethical awareness. These are all key competencies for finding solutions to complex and multidimensional challenges, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, ensuring food security, or improving access to clean water and sanitation. Moreover, STEM education can inspire learners to become active and responsible citizens who can participate in decision-making processes and take action for sustainable development.


Junaidi Budi Prihanto, S.KM., M.KM., Ph.D
Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Indonesia
Vice-Rector for Research, Community Service, Innovation, Publications, and University Ranking

Junaidi Budi Prihanto is a graduate of Hiroshima University, Japan. The research focus is Health Promotion in Public Health.  Junaidi Budi will provide an overview of "Strategic of Health Promotion in Environmental Science and Renewable Energy for the Future of SDGs". This is also in line with SDGs, Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.  A significant portion of the global population still lacks access to vital healthcare services. To bridge this gap and ensure equitable healthcare provision, addressing disparities is critical. Various determinants of health, including environmental and commercial factors, need attention to pave the way for achieving our common objective of Health for All and achieving the Sustainable Development Goal targets. Issues that will be presented at ICSSF 2024 include discussions regarding An internationally represented board meeting of Global Health Research and Policy determined that for an issue to fall under the description of what global health is, three identifiable factors must be present: • Global health deals with health and medical issues that have a worldwide impact. • The solutions to these global health concerns must also have the potential for a worldwide impact. • When working on global health issues, academic and scientific research is used to improve health everywhere and to minimize inequities in treatment. Although diseases, disorders and maladies that affect millions of people are most likely included when global health is discussed, the true concept reaches far beyond identifying problems and tracking numbers. It focuses on understanding not only the illnesses themselves but also the surrounding influential factors that impact causes and contribute to solutions.


Dr. Bagus Muljadi
University of Nottingham, UK

Bagus Muljadi facilitates partnerships between UK and Indonesia higher education and research institutions. Bags Muljadi will disscuss about "Research Trend of Environmental Science and Renewable Energy for the Future of SDGs".  Through the UK-Indonesia Consortium for Interdisciplinary Sciences (UKICIS) we help the UK and Indonesia governments manifest stronger collaborations in research and innovation. His expertise lies at the interface between applied mathematics, physics, and engineering, with applications in geothermal, bio-architecture, semiconductor, peatland, and others involving flow in complex geometries. He is a member of the GeoEnergy Research Centre, and the Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Geoprocesses Research Group. Bagus will discuss current research on SDGs. 

 

Invited Speakers


Assoc. Prof. Dr. Eko Hariyono

State University of Surabaya, Indonesia

 

Eko Hariyono is an associate professor in science education who is very diligent in introducing Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and SDGs at Unesa, especially in the field of geoscience education related to climate change through research, learning, and community service activities. Currently active in the international research organization related to climate change (ATECCE). The challenge of climate change is a serious concern and needs to be packaged in research and learning that will be able to educate the public regarding the impacts and actions of climate change. Based on experience, it is known that science education has great potential in realizing sustainable development goals through creating a better and more mature society in understanding the meaning of the environment now and in the future.

Asst. Prof. Achmad Wachidul Kohar, M.Pd.

Michigan State University, East Lansing, United States

 

Ahmad Wachidul Kohar is an assistant professor in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, who is currently taking a Ph.D. Program in Mathematics Education at Michigan State University, The USA. His research interests include the role of teachers in developing students’ numeracy, which is the capacity to reason mathematically and to formulate, employ, and interpret mathematics to solve problems in a variety of real-world contexts, as one of the main agendas for SDG No 4. Thus, teachers across disciplines are challenged with practicing teaching which ensures the existence of inclusive and equitable quality education to advance their students’ numeracy. In educational practices, those challenges are becoming increasingly complex, and calls for strategies due to the exclusionary culture persist despite strong commitments to equity-directed teaching to strengthen students' numeracy. As such, to equip students with the necessary skills to navigate these challenges as numerate citizens, teachers should also embrace their responsibilities and become more aware of the complex socio-political and environmental concerns and how those concerns impact their teaching practices. Ahmad will discuss the strategy of advancing students’ numeracy by promoting equitable teaching practices, selecting and developing tasks to promote students’ numeracy, and fostering numeracy in multi-discipline through embedding numeracy across the curriculum.
