Technological Approach for Sustainable Development in Indonesia

To hear the feedback from the beneficiaries of some of ongoing and implemented SDGs focused projects, the workshop will bring forward several community-based innovation and technology initiatives in seven different parallel sessions

Renowned scientists and practitioners will reevaluate the role of technology and innovation in the attainment of SDG in Indonesia. They will present their experience of achieving SDG in the Netherlands and in Indonesia with a particular focus on green and circular economy, and on energy management systems and policy.

In the session on climate adaptation, the panelist will empower the workshop participants through the ClimateScan online platform to map and review the challenges and climate adaptation solutions, including exchange of knowledge from different communities around the world, especially from the Netherlands.

Another session about clean water and waste-water treatment, the panelists will present the current state in Indonesia and lay out the needs of community-based innovation and technology to enable widespread provision of clean water and waste-water treatment in remote areas, currently two successful community-based innovation and technology initiatives of Pamsimas and Sanimas, which were introduced in 2008 and 2002, respectively, will be discussed.

Let’s take part in the discussion! There are other sessions which will elaborate more on technological approach to improve living in society.
