The 2023 MDGB PTNBH Plenary Session which was attended by around 228 professors is expected to produce a road map and scientific development in the field of environment and natural resources.
Meanwhile, the Head of MDGB PTNBH Prof. Harkristuti Harkrisnowo, S.H., M.A., Ph.D said the natural resource crisis and climate change had greatly affected the lives of Indonesian people.
“If there is an environmental and natural resource crisis, the effect will affect the quality of our lives,” he said.
UB Academic Senate Secretary, Prof. Iwan Triyuwono, SE. Ak., M.Ec, Ph.D said that this session needed to be presented because of the increasing number of crises starting from the economic, moral, and other fields.
UB Rector, Prof. Widodo, S.Si., MSi., Ph.D said that the MDGB Plenary Session this time was a moment of opportunity for the nation’s children to think about Indonesia’s future.
“Natural resources-based development is how Indonesia processes these raw materials into industrial materials. Utilizing the natural environment that we have will be the capital for Indonesia’s development. Don’t let foreigners use this natural resource and let us enjoy just a little of it,” he said.
