The literacy improvement program related to climate change and disasters is carried out through seminars and workshops conducted by USU or USU lecturers as resource persons in activities carried out by local governments. Several studies by USU lecturers are also related to climate change, starting from the inventory of GHG emissions, mitigating climate change through mangrove restoration and new and renewable energy alternatives. In addition, the USU LP has also created a special research scheme for the USU Eco-Green Campus, one of which is Energy and Climate Change
