Rector’s Speech

In 2022, the world is confronting a spectrum of
complex and diverse dynamics, both globally and at the national level. This year has borne witness to a multitude of events that have shaken the very foundations of human existence, compelling us to adapt and unite in the face of formidable challenges that persistently emerge.
Alterations and tensions within the geopolitical and social dynamics across various regions of the world have contributed to concerns about the increasing vulnerability of global food security. The steady rise in prices of food commodities and energy has enveloped the world in prolonged uncertainty.
Moreover, the global climate change remains a central focus. Phenomena such as extreme weather patterns, rising sea levels, and environmental degradation serve as constant reminders of the urgency for swift and effective action to safeguard our planet. This necessitates the implementation of sustainable practices in the energy and environmental sectors.
Amid the backdrop of global climate change, energy crises, and food security challenges, the University of Indonesia has embraced a vision for sustainable positive change. This is not just a task, but a deep-rooted commitment to contribute to a better world. In this spirit, the University of Indonesia is steadfastly progressing, determined to play a significant role in fostering resource efficiency for food security
Through various initiatives, research endeavors, and collaborative efforts with multiple stakeholders, the University of Indonesia consistently pursues its genuine commitment to create tangible impacts on society and its surrounding environment. Our dedication to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is resolute, serving as a guiding principle in every step we take.
The University of Indonesia firmly believes that the responsibilities of social and environmental stewardship are not confined to any single sector; rather, they are a collective duty that every stratum of society, including academia, must uphold. With this conviction, the University of Indonesia has channeled its efforts and energies towards embedding SDG principles into every facet of campus life.
We believe that through collaboration, innovation, and concerted efforts, we can achieve sustained and positive impacts on food security. We extend our gratitude to all those who continue to support and collaborate with the University of Indonesia on this journey. Let us collaborate to forge a brighter tomorrow for our community, nation, and the planet.
