As the climate crisis is increasingly critical, the push towards new and renewable energy is more urgent than ever. We have been too comfortable with the fossil fuel-based economy, but now, energy transition is the matter of now or never. Countries in the Global South are taking a greater stride towards a world with clean energy, yet, the multidimensional side effects alongside this still haunt, and consequently, stall this endeavour. How do we understand and overcome these dynamics?

The COVID-19 pandemic doesn’t just have a short-term impact. Learning from the pandemics that humans have faced, the COVID-19 pandemic can have a long-term impact. The psychological impact of the Middle-east Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) pandemic can continue to be felt in the future (Park et al., 2020). In the SARS Pandemic, the age group experiencing the pandemic had a higher risk of suicide and the risk of developing mental health problems than the age group that did not experience the SARS outbreak (Tzeng et al., 2020). Psychological impacts and mental health problems due to the pandemic include anxiety, emotional disturbances, and grief (DepPierro et al., 2020).

In regard to the urgency of disability research in terms of the psychological aspects of life span development and contextual factors in multicultural settings, as well as measuring the experience of Gadjah Mada University through the Faculty of Psychology, especially in the field of developmental studies throughout the life span, CLSD would like to fill this gap by collaborating with national and international experts on disability studies through the Interdisciplinary Online Summer Course entitled “Developing context and partnerships to produce knowledge in research human development across a disability-inclusive life span in a multicultural setting: Indonesian and Global Perspectives (MILENIALS)”. The theme of this course is also in line with UGM’s ideology and efforts to become an inclusive campus for people with disabilities which has been started in 2017. This course, in particular, provides a model to strengthen the mainstreaming of disability discourse in the Tridharma of Higher Education activities which can become UGM’s scientific excellence in the International level.

The Faculty of Forestry UGM strives to develop quality and networks in the implementation of education, research, and community service programs in forest and environmental conservation. Efforts to preserve mountain forests have a very important role because mountains are natural water towers in the world because they are able to provide fresh water for the needs of the wider community.
