One of the impacts of the climate crisis that we see is the many hydrometeorological disasters in the form of floods, droughts, landslides and forest fires. During 2023, 4,940 hydrometeorological disasters were recorded in Indonesia.
The domino effect in the food sector in 2023 will be as many as 57 thousand farmers who will experience crop failure.
People's critical awareness determines the realization of a clean energy transition, so it is necessary to disseminate information so that the energy transition issue becomes inclusive.
As a social science, the Department of Sociology, University of Bengkulu (UNIB) supports the realization of energy democracy that prioritizes the interests of the people.
Head of the Sociology Department at Bengkulu University, Heni Nopianti M. Si, said that currently he is starting to instill the values of a fair and sustainable clean energy transition to Sociology students.
"Furthermore, the Sociology Department will encourage students to disseminate the issue of energy transition to all students within the Bengkulu University academic community," emphasized Heni when interviewed in her office.
The clean energy transition is an action to save food availability for us and future generations.
This statement was made by UNIB Sociology Student Ari Bagus Setiawan at the Clean Energy School Socialization activity in the Sociology Department, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Bengkulu University on February 5 2024.
“As students and the generation that will live in the future, we need to take action against the climate crisis for the sake of the viability and safety of living spaces. "For example, we want in the next few years to still be able to access food such as rice easily and economically," said Ari.
