The climate change research initiative in Belitong focuses on understanding and mitigating the local impacts of climate change, particularly on coastal ecosystems, biodiversity, and marine resources. Through data collection, environmental monitoring, and sustainable practices, the project aims to raise awareness and implement strategies to safeguard the island’s natural environment for future generations. Local youth, alongside researchers and experts, are at the forefront of these efforts, ensuring that solutions are scientifically grounded and culturally relevent.
