UNDIP has supported local government in mitigating and monitoring climate change impacts. In 2018, research group from UNDIP (the Faculty of Engineering, by Dr. Wiwandari Handayani and Dr. Jawoto Sih Setyono) conducted a research project that can help the local government to deal with climate change disaster. The project entitled “Planning resilience city: an assessment on disaster management in Semarang city (https://the.undip.ac.id/download/18sdg13/Planning%20resilience%20city.pdf). In 2018, UNDIP also supported the local government (Semarang city) by running the project “Zurich Flood Resilience Measurement Tools Baseline Data Collection Process in Semarang City, Indonesia” (https://the.undip.ac.id/download/18sdg13/Zurich%20Flood%20Resilience.pdf). The project aimed to document the process of baseline data collection and the use of Zurich Flood Resilience Measurement Tool in Semarang City, Indonesia as part of the Zurich Flood Resilience Program. This project explained challenges, opportunities, learning and feedback from hands-on experience in using the tool that has been developed by Zurich Flood Alliance. Recently, UNDIP (Coastal Rehabilitation and Disaster Mitigation Studies, CoREM) has developed ‘ROB Calendar’, which is the system that can monitor and predict the rising of sea levels. This can be an early warning for the people living in the coastal area of Semarang upon the tidal flood due to the rising of sea levels (https://kampusnesia.com/2018/10/31/undip-semarang-berhasil-ciptakan-aplikasi-kalender-rob/ and https://www.posjateng.id/gaya-hidup/undip-rilis-aplikasi-kalender-rob-b1U8L9i1). Note that the tidal flood due to the rising of sea levels is more frequent in the recent time due to climate change.
