In 2018, UNDIP (the School of Postgraduate Studies) contributed to local government (Boyolali regency) to prepare the climate change adaptation action plan, which can assist the local government and community to adapt to the climate change (https://the.undip.ac.id/download/18sdg13/climate%20change%20adaptation%20action%20plan.pdf). In partnership with other parties, UNDIP shared the vision on restoration of the Demak (Central Java Province) district coastline that is threatened by the tidal flood due to global warming (https://the.undip.ac.id/download/18sdg13/restoration%20of%20the%20Demak.pdf). The collaborative project will last until 2020. Beginning at 2016, UNDIP has been involving in developing the “Semarang City’s Resilience Strategy Document as part of the 100 Resilient Cities initiative” in collaboration with Semarang municipality office (https://the.undip.ac.id/download/18sdg13/Semarang%20City%E2%80%99s%20Resilience%20Strategy%20Document.pdf). This project covers several aspects including sustainable water and energy and readiness for disasters and diseases.

On January 9, 2019, in supported by Semarang municipality office, UNDIP held the national seminar “Transportation in Building the Country”.
