I had the incredible opportunity to attend and present my paper on Climate Change Education (CCE) in Indonesia and the Philippines at the 4th Network for Education and Research on Peace and Sustainability Conference.
This research, co-authored with Maya Katrina Agana, examines CCE in two archipelagic nations in Southeast Asia extremely vulnerable to climate change.

Our study highlights shared trends and challenges in both countries, highlighting the need for policy reform, mainstreaming teacher training, and more impactful pedagogical approaches to better prepare young people for the climate crisis.

The presentation sparked thought-provoking discussions on the inaction of education stakeholders despite the urgency of climate change. We also gained valuable insights from global perspectives on best practices and challenges in CCE.

I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this crucial conversation and to advocate for stronger CCE policies. A heartfelt thank you to NERPS for awarding me the scholarship that made my attendance possible, and to Hiroshima University and De La Salle University for organising such an impactful event.
