I am a PhD Candidate in the Graduate Programme in Sustainability Science at the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo. My work centres on climate change education, drawing on insights from environmental education, behavioural psychology, and policy studies, with a particular focus on empowering young people through approaches that are both locally grounded and globally informed.

Over the past seven years, I have investigated how climate change education can be meaningfully integrated into formal education systems in Japan and Indonesia. My doctoral research explores the translation of international climate education agendas into national curricula and school-level practices. This includes policy analysis, curriculum development, and close collaboration with teachers and schools to bridge the gap between policy intentions and classroom realities.

As a Doctoral Research Fellow supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, I work with stakeholders across sectors to improve the quality and relevance of climate education in both countries. My work blends academic inquiry with practical impact through partnerships with national and local governments, NGOs, and schools.

Beyond academia, I serve as a Cross-Cultural Education Facilitator with Indonesia’s Ministry of Education, promoting mutual learning between Japanese and Indonesian governments and schools. I also act as an SDGs Coach with several organisations in Japan, where I have designed and led educational initiatives that engage children and youth as active participants in climate action. These programmes have supported the learning journeys of over 3,000 students, covering topics such as sustainability, environmental responsibility, and global citizenship.

I am committed to advancing education as a foundation for climate resilience and social equity. By fostering critical thinking, emotional engagement, and a sense of agency, I believe we can nurture a new generation of leaders capable of driving transformative change in their communities and beyond.
