Just as cities are hubs for innovations and investments that expand opportunities, they are also living laboratories confronting challenges of increasing complexity. They face a wide range of shocks and stresses ranging from natural hazards and climate change, to financial shocks and terrorism; slow-moving chronic stresses like poverty and violence and social conflict. As we consider how cities will adapt to the challenges of the 21st century – both known and unknown – the resilience agenda becomes increasingly important. This presentation highlights the Rockefeller Foundation’s understanding of city resilience, as informed by the RF-Arup City Resilience Framework, as well as its Resilience by Design portfolio, a series of place-based, landscape-scale interventions in U.S. coastal cities to show how we can build resilience with design while working with large federal institutions.

The World Water Week from 26th - 31st 2018 event concluded yesterday. As like every year, it was organized by Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). It highlighted water as a critical resource. It emphasized nature based solutions as way forward towards resolving water issues. This year the theme was – “Water, Ecosystems and Human Development”. Be it with regard to water shortage, water quality, water issues in extreme weather events - floods, water has been the most pressing issue and challenging resource that needs to be addressed. Healthy ecosystems allow plant and animal life to thrive and strive and offer multitude of benefits for human development and all these work together as microcosm in itself and for developing synergy, work in co-operation during trans-boundary conflicts with regard to water, water governance strengthening, and equitable access to clean water.
Science Education for Sustainable Development in Indiaijtsrd
Sustainable development based research and education is the back bone of any nation. And sustainable development policies highlight the role of education which has become the need of the day to create the awareness among the students, researchers and teachers as well as in local communities for environment protection. Exponential Growth of Technology in India has played a significant role in all round development and growth of economy in our country. Sustainable development is an emerging area, because it addresses the socio economic development of every human being. India has opted for a judicious mix of indigenous and imported technology. This work focuses on the key areas of sustainable developments and scientific contributions towards it. This paper also explores the contribution of education to sustainable Development. The development of any country is almost depends on the advancement in developing the technology in different fields. Countries that take part across this industrial revolution are developed much more than other countries because the machine occupies the work more from men. The new technology with young minds creates a synergy both in knowledge and sustainable development.

The environment has been erroneously perceived as a god’s-given resource to be explored and exploited for production of goods and services necessary for the satisfaction of human needs and comfort. This perception inspired man to engage in breath-taking explorations into the huge vaults of the heavens with ozone layer depletion, green house effect as consequences resulting to global warming, climate change, loss of biodiversity on one hand and pollution, deforestation, flooding, draught, famine, flood, extreme weather events on the other hand, as global catastrophic threats to human kind. These problems have become a major concern of the international community who has called for a new type of education for a better understanding of the complexity of the problems of the environment as well as for effective management of environmental resources. This type of education is referred to as environmental education. This paper explored the library as a medium for the dissemination of knowledge of the environment and its problems. It explored various ways through which knowledge of environmental problems and their prevention is promoted through the instrumentality of the library. It concludes that library as a reservoir of knowledge should be equipped with materials containing information on environmental problems and as well as be made accessible to all humans in every part of the globe.| Publisher: International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science (IJRISS)

Environmental and Ecological Conflicts of India: A Reviewijtsrd
The term Ecological Distribution Conflicts (EDCs) was coined by Martinez Alier and Martin O Connor in 1996 to describe social conflicts born from the unfair access to natural resources and the unjust burdens of pollution. Environmental benefits and costs are distributed in a way that causes conflicts. Conflict on nature which harms the biological environment has increased in frequency and intensity of India. This manifest themselves as political, social, economic, ethnic, religious or territorial conflicts or conflicts over resources or natural interests or any other type of conflict. They are traditional conflicts induced by an environmental degradation. The paper focus on how environmental conflict challenges on the contemporary environmental issue. This paper aim to rethink ecosystem conservation perspective and can draw special attention to have our capacity building on ecological system sustainable.

The Indonesia International Institute for Urban Resilience and Infrastructure (i3URI) is founded to in the middle of global raising awareness
of acquiring a state of resiliency of any society, be it in an urban or rural setting. The global and national physical, environmental and
societal changes have been going on at their own pace, unwittingly that these may lead to a large scale and surprising crisis that people
might suffer. i3URI envisions on contributing to the world of knowledge on exploring and promoting the embodiment of the concept of a
total harmony between sustainable economic growth, livable urban and ecological health. These should also take into account the
inclusivity towards local diversity and the indigenous values.
The initiative commences with the facts that the world is facing a serious on-going and future threat to humankind due to latent
environmental devastation, increasing frequencies of natural and human induced disasters, steady and ever growing impacts of global
warming and climate change, resource based and communal conflicts, lack of intercultural understanding, the resource thirsty and
unhealthy metabolism of megacities with the accompanying urban style and migration. These includes issues like energy, water, health,
and food securities. Science is believed to have unlimited ways of resolving those pressing and important issues. Special focus may be
given to the tropical maritime geographical country like Indonesia with its megadiversities in natural, ethnical, social, cultural and political
aspects within the current highly dynamic changes.
i3URI bears its mission to be joining the world knowledge centers of excellence, while at the same time it should also be able to address
the window of opportunity of our demographic bonus creating innovative group of people with global orientation but locally rooted young
minds and talents. The marked tendency of making our cities and regencies to become green should be taken as a positive opportunity for
a new green market, along with the development of huge infrastructure the country needs. These major tasks of i3URI will face their
challenging time within the coming decade, whereby efforts towards acquiring the global excellence in high quality research will have to
be in line with the growing market demand.
It is my great pleasure to serve this newly born institution and to share the challenging future with all the best brains in the world in
endeavouring our common journey in this very changing socioscape and enviroscape. We hope that this may serve you and opens further
healthy and growing cooperation.

Jakarta: flood proof city 2030!
• Jakarta suffers from a complex and chronic flood problem , however the scientist at the Indonesian Institute of
Sciences still see some hope to make this city as a Disaster-Resilient Cities 2030. With no strategic effort, the
potentially sinking Jakarta in 2030 may continue to occue due to land subsidence and flooding from the 13 rivers. To
reduce vulnerability and strengthen the resilience, Jakarta should be transformed into a city that is familiar with the
water , " said Jan Sopaheluwakan , a senior researcher at the Research Centre for Geotechnology Indonesian Institute
of Sciences ( LIPI ) , in a discussion on" Dealing with the worst flood scenario of Jakarta " , Thursday ( 23/1 ) , in
Jakarta. North of Gambir region should become a blue zone . Gambir southward should be the green zone , " said Jan.
Blue zone should be allocated for more water reservoirs by forming lakes and flood canals . Green zone with
maintaining green space to enlarge the area of the absorption of rainwater ." Density needs to be managed
intelligently , bringing back the middle class groups who marginalised to the outskirts of Jakarta , " said Jan. The middle
class as our human capital should be empowered to live in the city. The trick , middle-class residential community is
provided in flats . Environmental flats fitted green zone and blue zone . He took the example, one area of West Jakarta
are always flooded in every rainy season. He selected the location should be the lowest part to be transformed into a
big lake . All around built flats for middle income and upper middle income people. Green open space is also
optimized. If the total area of 700 acres of land , 300 acres designated for residential flats. 200 hectares are allocated
for the blue zone ( water ) and 200 acres for the green zone (forest, bush ).
• Amid optimism the city hopes to build a Disaster-Resilient Cities 2030, the challenge is how to transform people’s
mindset. There are three wrong perceptions. First, what is called the abundant syndrome .This syndrome emphasizes
the notion that there is always an abundant space. Jakarta continues to grow out of control. Second , indifferent to the
risk and not anticipative . Jan exemplifies, the land use change of Pantai Indah Kapok ( PIK ) on the coast of Jakarta into
settlements built by ignoring the surrounding environment. Third , the boiled frog syndrome . Boiling a frog with slowly
increasing temperatures will still make the frog feels comfortable. In fact , the comfort is heading to a threat of
extinction . "If a frog is put in hot water at a sudden, he will jump out and survive , " said Jan. According to him , there
are a sudden and slow going disasters . Sudden disasters , among others , are earthquakes , tsunamis , and volcanoes
eruption. Slow going disaster is what is going on now in Jakarta." Gradual disaster is much more dangerous than a
sudden disaster . With a gradual disaster, when it arrives at its peak, it will bring all the development results eturns to
zero , " said Jan.

• Today, though the global community is experiencing these shocks and disruptions on a near weekly
basis. These can happen in any cities in the west or east, regardless of their economic and social
advancement. All from different regions, with different demographics, geographic terrains and
political systems. These shocks, like bombings, protests, earthquake, financial ruin, unprecedented
flooding, devastating wildfires may have caused major disruption. More importantly, we can not
predict when or where the next shock will hit. But we know for sure that those shocks will come —
and that they will only continue to increase in their frequency, scale, and impact.
• Three reasons are clearly drive these shocks: Urbanization, Globalization, Climate Change. There
are ample evidence that most of this endencies will be in the developing world, where already
overcrowded slums will nearly double in population to 2 billion, putting strains on already fragile
ecosystems and hindering the ability of these areas to respond to shocks and recover from them.
• Urbanization in Indonesia, as is the case with Asia-Pacific region, has been urbanizing tremendously
following the country’s rapid development in 1970s. Growth has been spectacular, especially over
the past two decades, enabling the Asia-Pacific region to contribute as much as 30 per cent of
global economic output in 2008. Urban areas have acted as the engines of economic growth and
prosperity in most countries. Indonesia has been facing high urbanization rate driven by rural-urban
migration. In 1950, 15% of Indonesia’s population lived in urban areas. In 1990, 40 years later, this
number is doubled to 30%. Indonesia took only another 20 years to increase the urban population
to 44% as reported in 2010. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reported that the average
population density of Jakarta, the capital, had reached more than 14,400 people per square
kilometer. Jakarta is now populated by 12 million people, far outnumbered the BPS estimate which
predicted that Jakarta’s population will reach 11 million people in 2020.

• Urbanisation, demographic explosion and subtropic buildings in the
tropics have created an energy intensive and high carbon civilization. Poor
mass rapid transportation and the fast urban sprawl growth have
aggravated these higher carbon emission.
• The rising number and roles of the middle class should be taken as a
golden opportunity to create productive, non consumptive and nature
conscious citizens. However, in most cities in the world, we see that this
productive middle class is marginalized from town and live some tens of
km away, leaving the ever more increasing tension between the higher
income and the lowermost income groups of people who live inside the
cities.
• The very productive, highly diverse but fragile tropical and maritime
geographic condition of Indonesia and other parts of world tropical belt
are now under jeopardy, and these need an international special
attention to attain their resiliency
• The strong need to have a decentralization and demagnetization of Java
to otherwise becomes an urbanized island, and simultaneously create
another growth center outside of Java.

• Turning liabilities into asset
– Vulnerable and high risk areas such as storm surge related flood prone quarters, tectonic fault zone for
earthquake hazards, continuously subsided and spring tide inundated coastal areas, or municipal waste
disposal areas, all are areas which are avoided by people for their residence and home base for their
business activities. People who live there are normally forced to take that option because of their financial
inability or other non technical considerations. With science based, innovative and breakthrough concepts,
these abandoned areas can be transformed into new green and sustainable living quarter with much higher
values.
• Inclusive, respect the diversity and global compliance
– Being green and adopting green technologies with rigid and strict compliance can create some adverse
impacts, such as some people can afford to buy it, ignorance of local diversity and values, the inability to
absorb and adopt the presence of preexisting practices and values to be otherwise competitive in the new
market mechanism. We will not discard these diversities and rich indigenous values to be incorporated into
our strategic planning and future competitive and sustainable pathways.
• Synthesizing
– Synthesizing the multitude of advanced and interdisciplinary research carried out by specialised and
dedicated group of highly selected researchers is key feature of i3URI. This allows the more accurate and
comprehensive nature of the strategic and multilevel solutions offered by i3URI based on the proper and the
most modern understanding dynamism between the earth systems and the social – human behaviour. The
omnipresent and global impacts of the climate change and global warming, for example, are examined at all
levels, from regional down to submicroscopic scales.
• International Networking
– Local problems of national interest may often have global significance. Many todays problems require out of
the box thinking and out of the border collaboration. Science and scientists, with their cosmopolitan nature
and common languages they share, are becoming trancendental and this require international networking
and collaboration. Research collaboration in addressing the human and environment securities needs an
open ended and mutually reforcing network. ICIAR is aimed at becoming one of the global hubs in the
knowledge centers of excellence.
• Flexibility
– The first four features of i3URI need this flexibility principle to be adopted. Flexibility in resource sharing,
mission oriented tasks fulfilment and knowledge workers mobility are central in this flexibility principle.
