Gender, Generation and Climate Change (GENERATE): Creative Approaches to Building Inclusive and Climate Resilient Cities in Uganda and Myanmar

Lead Research Organisation: University of Leeds
Department Name: School of Geography

Abstract

GENERATE will combine and mobilise social science and the arts to strengthen the impact and inclusivity of climate resilient urban governance. As catastrophic and slow-onset climate events emerge and increase across the world, and growing numbers migrate to urban centres, social inequalities - including gender - will manifest in uneven impacts of climate change. GENERATE aims to broaden and deepen current approaches to gender in climate policy and practice and urban governance, which tend to neglect age as a variable, and frequently equate gender solely with women (and poor rural women in particular), often excluding the experiences of men and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex people. This first systematic and arts-based exploration of the 'gender-age-urban' interface of climate change is distinctive in bringing together applied arts and social science methodologies to explore how gender and age intersect and manifest in inequalities. It will deliver critical new evidence on how gendered, sexualised and generational patterns and structures of exclusion can increase urban residents' vulnerability to climate change and reduce their ability to benefit equitably from climate action and sustainable development.

Focusing on two countries at high risk: Uganda and Myanmar, GENERATE will build a creative, feminist and participatory research framework that brings together child, adult and elder perspectives over time from six secondary cities. Bringing together interdisciplinary teams of researchers, artists, urban communities and key stakeholders from the UK, Uganda and Myanmar, GENERATE will use participatory arts-based methods grounded in ethnographic principles (interpretative, immersive, critical, feminist, reflexive) to develop new empirical, theoretical and methodological insights critical to meeting the UK's commitment and obligations to providing the evidence-base needed to fulfil the Sustainable Development Goals. The project will investigate how combining participatory arts and social science techniques together can strengthen the potential of action-based research to tackle the global challenges of gender equality and climate change.

GENERATE will investigate different perspectives on the 'gender-age-urban' interface from 'above' (international, national, regional and local policymakers, institutions, governance) and 'below' (day-to-day experiences and practices of people living in urban settings). In so doing it will increase understanding of how climate change in the city is not only a gendered experience, but also a generational one; mediated by (social) age and other intersecting markers of identity including sexuality, (dis)ability, ethnicity, religion, marital status, migration and socio-economic status. It will creatively apply findings to bridge these different perspectives in order to explore more socially just ways of transforming gender inequalities in climate action; and examine how creative methodologies can challenge discriminatory norms and practices and raise the profile and participation of marginalised groups in urban climate planning and policymaking. Working in partnership with stakeholders from government ministries, (inter)national institutions, urban authorities and the third sector, GENERATE will co-devise, pilot and evaluate arts-led, contextually-relevant and evidence-informed strategies for accommodating growing urban populations more equitably and driving the social transformation necessary to achieve gender equality and broader social justice.

Planned Impact

1. PARTICIPANTS & URBAN COMMUNITIES: By using sustained, interactive, arts-based methodologies, GENERATE expects to achieve significant socio-cultural impact among participants from marginalized urban communities in Uganda and Myanmar. Through a combination of training, action-based focus group discussions, and creative research activities to explore experiences, norms and practices, participants will gain capability, knowledge and skills to look critically at inequitable gender and generational norms and relations, self-advocate, engage with stakeholders at multiple scales, and be supported in building cohesion, knowledge and effective actions to tackle inequalities. Enhanced research and advocacy capacity will empower them to attract future development and pursue wider community advocacy and action. Of equal importance are wider publics engaging with peer research activities and arts-led public engagement events and discussions. Their concerns will be made visible and represented to local/national policy-makers, and they will be supported in taking multilateral action towards gender-transformative climate resilience.

2. PARTNERING DECISION-MAKERS & PRACTITIONERS: Policymakers and practitioners working on delivering gender equality and climate action will gain skills and experience in creative new methodologies and benefit as members of technical working groups, national committees, and audiences of arts-led knowledge exchange. They will benefit through participating in workshops and events to better understand community priorities, perspectives and contexts for change. This will enable them to better relate to and serve the communities in question; to recognise and apply more complex intersectional approaches to gender that address age and sexuality; and establish new avenues for community consultation and participation of minority groups. Creative knowledge exchange, freely-accessible project outputs, stakeholder workshops and national forums will improve networking, relationships and sharing of best practices, and organisational cultures through charting changing norms and behaviour in policy and third sector institutions, and enhance inclusivity, effectiveness and sustainability of gender and climate programmes. Myanmar's 'Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan 2016-2030' includes 'inclusive and integrated- development' as key principles for a 'climate-resilient, inclusive nation', and while Uganda's 'National Climate Change Bill' is in development, its 'National Climate Change Policy' addresses 'cross-cutting issues' including gender. GENERATE's evidence and research communities will contribute to these key policy priorities.

3. RESEARCH USERS, LOBBYISTS & POLICYMAKERS: To maximise the potential for transformation GENERATE will co-design, pilot and evaluate arts-led and evidence-informed strategies for gender-transformative climate resilience. Through making these (and underpinning evidence) available to policymakers and target audiences in the UK, Uganda and Myanmar - and those working in other developing country contexts - we expect these to be replicated and reach a large number of beneficiaries over time as end-users continue to invest in and implement these approaches across developing world contexts. Project outputs (reports, artistic outputs, open-access academic publications, website, toolkits) will be freely accessible to research users, lobbyist organisations and policymakers at different scales (from governance and policy at the scale of the city to the nation) to extend and deepen the knowledge base that supports evidence-informed policy making and implementation, and widen global accessibility to findings and best practices among non-specialised end-users. GENERATE will deliver theoretical and methodological benefits to UK academics working within and across disciplines on gender and/or climate change in developing country contexts (see Academic Beneficiaries section).

Title A Changing Masaka City - four-part (environmental justice, climate change, resilience, the ideal city) radio drama series 
Description 'A Changing Masaka City' is a four-part radio drama series written, performed and produced by Arts Applied Uganda. The four episodes tackle environmental justice, climate change, resilience, and community visions for an 'ideal city'. They explore key themes that emerged out of a community applied theatre project co-facilitated by GENERATE and Arts Applied Uganda in Masaka in November-December 2022. We invited three of Masaka's most marginalised communities to participate in a series of eight applied theatre workshops to explore, reflect on - and discuss actions to challenge - how social, environmental and climate justice intersect within this new city in Uganda's Central Region. Masaka was designated city status in July 2020. It has a rich cultural and political history, but currently faces not just the growing impacts of climate change, but also those of rapid urbanisation, inadequate infrastructure, growing unemployment, rising costs of living, energy injustice, food and water insecurity and so on. Our workshops brought together people with diffabilities, adolescent mothers, and older people to capture the lived experiences of these challenges, the resilience and agency of these communities, and importance of social solidarity and collective action. Arts Applied Uganda took these learnings and wrote four radio dramas, creating fictional characters and plots to communicate real stories and events shared during our workshops. They sought to share insights into environmental, social and climate injustices with the broader public, highlighting the importance of social solidarity and challenging discrimination and social exclusion. The radio dramas were written and performed in Luganda to maximise accessibility across the region. With the support of Antonio Kalyango, a local journalist and environmental activist, the drama series was aired on Radio Buddu - Uganda (98.8 Masaka, 95.5 Kampala), the oldest radio station in Masaka City, on Wednesdays at 9.10am as part of the show 'Program Sserukeera' ('The Morning Drive'): 
Type Of Art Performance (Music, Dance, Drama, etc) 
Year Produced 2024 
Impact The dramas focused on environmental justice, climate change, resilience, and the ideal city and drew from insights gained during the eight-part community theatre workshops held in Masaka City in November and December 2022. The workshops were organised and facilitated by Arts Applied Uganda, Dr Neil Crawford, and Dr Katie McQuaid as part of the GENERATE project. They exposed the general public to key environmental and social issues and the importance of environmental responsibility, social inclusion and the dangers of discrimination against people with disabilities and adolescent mothers, and the importance of social solidarity.

Title A Crowded Sky over Sasak 
Description This collage tells the stories of rapid development and spatial planning challenges in Gumi Sasak (Lombok Island). While construction and tourism continue to grow across many sectors, environmental governance, particularly the protection of green spaces and water absorption areas- often lags. Expanding housing and tourism infrastructure risks diminishing the island's natural balance if not guided by sustainable principles. It calls for tourism and development that respect the environment, protect natural beauty, and ensure that green spaces remain part of the landscape. Through this piece, I want to remind us that the future of Gumi Sasak depends on balancing development with the preservation of nature, culture, and customary traditions, so that the skies of Sasak will no longer feel crowded or burdened by unchecked growth.

Title Annisa 
Description This Acrylic on Recycled Paper Mask is titled 'Annisa', a 53-year-old woman who has been working as a farmer since she was 15. She is my mother. She fights against scarcity, long droughts, the gender role that is assigned to her by society and my dad, the double burdens that she carries, and other trials and tribulations. I also remember how sweat flowed from her hair, dampening her forehead and then slipping between her eyebrows and eyelashes. She wiped it away with the sleeve of her shirt as a sign to pause her work, standing upright after a long time bent over, pulling weeds from between the rice plants that had grown nearly to knee height. She is my hero, yet in many superhero stories, they are portrayed as men. I wanted to write my own narrative by creating this mask because every hero in my life has always been a woman, and in real life, there are far more heroines than heroes.

Title Apem Sewu 
Description A documentary video on the Apem Sewu ritual, co-produced by the research team, local community in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia and design students from Universities Sebelas Maret. Beyond functioning as research data, the video serves as a tool for wider public engagement, education, and policy dialogue, making visible the cultural dimensions of river stewardship and disaster preparedness. Historically, Apem Sewu functioned as a collective offering to the river, expressing gratitude while also seeking protection from disasters and the assurance of prosperity. The ritual reflects a cosmological understanding in which the river is perceived not merely as a physical resource, but as an active agent shaping community life. The reconstructed ritual took place on 10 July 2025 and was designed as a community-led process, facilitated by the research team. The sequence of activities followed locally recognised ritual stages, beginning with the collective preparation of apem (traditional rice cakes) in Pendapa Kelurahan Sewu, followed by a kirap apem (procession), a communal prayer at the riverbank, the sharing and consumption of the apem among residents, and the symbolic release of floral offerings (sesajen) into the Bengawan Solo River. Participants included women, men, elders, and local community leaders, reflecting broad intergenerational and gender-inclusive involvement. The high level of community participation demonstrated strong local enthusiasm for reviving the ritual, particularly among older residents who viewed the activity as an important reaffirmation of collective identity, and younger residents who encountered the ritual as a meaningful reintroduction to local heritage. The research team and students conducted comprehensive audio-visual documentation of the entire ritual process. In parallel, in-depth interviews with community elders were undertaken to record narratives surrounding the origins, meanings, and transformations of the Apem Sewu tradition over time. These narratives provided critical insight into how the ritual historically functioned as a form of environmental knowledge, shaping community attitudes toward the river and natural hazards. 
Type Of Art Film/Video/Animation 
Year Produced 2025 
Impact Findings from this activity indicate that the Apem Sewu tradition effectively mobilises cultural memory as a mechanism for environmental stewardship and strengthens collective identity among residents. By reactivating shared rituals and meanings associated with the river, the activity fostered renewed awareness of the river as a living system that requires care, respect, and collective responsibility. The process also reinforced the value of participatory and culturally grounded approaches in enhancing community ownership of resilience-building initiatives. 
 
Title Being Queer in an island of a thousand mosques 
Description A series of 4 half-day and 1 full-day workshops with the 20 participants from the LGBTQ community in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. We explored various topics in each of the workshops including: climate change and health; gender and climate change, discrimination towards the LGBTQ community, self acceptance, ideal future in the eyes of the LGBTQ community. Ilda Karwayu provided training in creative writing and then edited the stories into a collection entitled: 'Being Queer in an Island of a Thousand Mosques'. 
Type Of Art Creative Writing 
Year Produced 2022 
Impact We also explored how young people can use social media particularly instagram to raise awareness about the impact of climate change. The participants valued the opportunity to share their stories and to express different experiences through the medium of writing. So far, with regard to dissemination we have a limited audience (so far) to protect participants, but many scholars have already asked if they can access the stories (all name are pseudonym). We are carefully scoping out a dissemination strategy to seek support for queer communities in Indonesia, but with recent legislation we are mindful to protect our participants. 
 
Title Bentala by Ida Ayu Utami 
Description This film is of a poem performed and written by Ida Abu Utami, a member of Senyum Puan, a local civil society organisation focused on preventing violence against women in West Nusa Tenggara. It was one of several poems produced during a series of our creative workshops facilitated in Lombok in 2022 with members of Senyum Puan, a local civil society organisation focused on preventing violence against women. The workshops were mentored by artist Ilda Karwayu, a well regarded and renowned poet from West Nusa Tenggara, who provided training in creative writing skills and helped the participating women to articulate their own experiences of gender and climate injustice through creative writing.

Title Bidi Bidi by Philip Peter Kairu 
Description Collage commissioned as part of the See Change exhibition. Currently on display at the Uganda Museum, in the See Change book, and part of the online exhibition. In the words of the artist: To communicate my ideas on clear thinking, I focused on themes of migration, settlement, population, and refugees. David N. Tshimba's article provided a well-articulated explanation of the interaction between population growth and its impact on the ecology, specifically in the context of refugee camps. I employed a dry leaf and a fresh leaf as the base materials for my work, but found that the green leaf did not adequately communicate the message I intended to convey in my collage. Therefore, I chose the dry leaf because it effectively illustrated the direct impact of massive settlement on once-green areas. However, I encountered the challenge of representing the borders and boundaries of the Bidi Bidi refugee camp, a critical area of focus in my work. To overcome this obstacle, I emulated the satellite effect to create a pattern and accurately depict the area through merging and layering the dry and green leaf.

Year Produced 2023 
Impact Together, these collages possess a unique narrative that speaks to the significance of how climate change has impacted aspects of our world that may not have been initially considered, such as the LGBTQ community. While they were made from various articles, they serve as a powerful reminder of the impact of climate change on our world, as well as the importance of continuing to explore and understand these important issues, as well as the need for creatives to use materials and resources that are readily available to them, as I did to illustrate the climate change impacts. We are collecting impact data at the moment. 
 
Title Black Coffee of Gender Justice 
Description A painting on traditional clay pottery from East Lombok, the research participant writes: "I use this pitcher to serve people a black coffee. Black coffee is bitter, much like our struggle to achieve gender justice, but it is necessary to feel energised, just like we need gender justice to achieve disaster justice in this lifetime."

Title Bude Terong (Aunt Eggplant) 
Description This mixed media wayang (puppet) represents Bude Terong, a queer feminine-presenting male figure who challenges rigid gender norms in conservative societies such as Lombok. With a yellow mask symbolising protection and survival strategies, dark skin reflecting resilience under discrimination, and a slender body that embodies quiet strength, the character carries visible signs of resistance. Thick eyebrows and red lips represent courage and a bold voice against stigma, while curly brown hair symbolizes natural identity and freedom. The purple clothing signifies wisdom, queer courage, and elegance in resistance. Bude Terong embodies the lived experiences of queer communities who continue to endure stigma, religious pressure, and discrimination. Yet the figure stands as a symbol of resilience and bravery: someone who not only survives but also moves forward, joining solidarities and advocating for the right of queer communities in Lombok to live openly and with dignity.

Impact We also discussed challenges, stereotypes and barriers faced by women head of households, single parents as well as migrant workers. Participants said the workshops were a safe place for them to talk and share all their experiences as women heads of households/single parents without being judged or become a gossip that spread around the neighbourhood. Participants were always enthusiastic to come and share everyday life burdens as a woman in the society or household, the cultural and social constraints that limit their access. The spontaneous theatre was filmed in parts and shared on social media accounts of local civil society organisations, reaching well over 1000 views, and different comments and reactions which are currently being gathered. 
 
Title Central Lombok's Disaster Justice Vision 
Description By Elmo Wahyu Adiguna, this digital artwork portrays the complex social and environmental challenges faced by communities in Central Lombok. A figure with outstretched arms represents those in power who practice nepotism and capitalism, particularly in the distribution of government aid meant for disaster-affected communities. Dry wood symbolises the severe drought that frequently affects southern Central Lombok, bringing not only water scarcity but also serious health challenges. The work also highlights the lack of accessible infrastructure and facilities for persons with disabilities. Another figure holding a book represents communities defending their land from large-scale luxury developments that they themselves cannot access or benefit from. The book becomes a metaphorical record of community voices-stories and aspirations that are gathered and transformed into a "menu" for disaster justice. Other elements reveal additional layers of injustice. A polluted river points to environmental damage caused by mining activities. A blue-toned image refers to the persistence of child marriage in Central Lombok, sometimes driven by social pressure or customary practices. Access to clean water remains limited, and even when bore wells are built, they may be claimed by individuals rather than shared collectively. Meanwhile, healthcare, higher education, and luxury facilities remain largely accessible only to the wealthy, highlighting the deep inequalities that shape disaster vulnerability and recovery.

Title Cli-Mates of Change by Ann Grace Apiita, Christine Akello Opat, Eric Emokor 
Description Cli-Mates of Change is a green advocacy drama written to support schools, households, communities, sectors across Uganda and beyond understand climate change and devise sustainable measures to cope. Written by Ann Grace Apiita, Christine Akello Opat, Eric Emokor. In the drama synopsis attached, the initial focus is on the location, and the livelihood of the characters and how these components intensify climate change and other environmental issues. Most communities around the Lake Kyoga region in Apac district, other surrounding districts and even across Kampala (the capital city of Uganda) have built their houses on wetlands. The locals continue to carry out farming and agricultural practices on fragile ecosystems like wetlands and destroying forests to meet fuel needs. The destruction and mismanagement of wetlands therefore, (partly due to inadequate knowledge of the local communities) has impacted on biodiversity: loss of birds, fish, insects, plant species among other factors, and worsened climate change impacts for example, with the floods that eventually claimed the lives of the locals depicted in the drama. Secondly, the social fabric, culture and gender disparities are demonstrated right from many households, and diverse institutions that promote patriarchal systems, not only in the northern region but all regions across Uganda. From the family unit, the male species are exposed to so many opportunities such as education, career development, political/leadership, economic prospects - ownership of land and other assets unlike their female counterparts. During the COVID-19 pandemic, cases of gender-based violence also increased substantially and it stems from gender disparities that grow right from families and flow into communities and eventually institutions. Although the two journalists arrived in the Luo community of Apac, to cover news of the devasting floods that claimed the lives of the locals, they equally played a key role in dismantling the gender inequality toward the girl child. This is demonstrated by their determination and courage to challenge intergenerational cultural norms and promote conversations about supporting the education of the vulnerable girl child instead of the social arrangements that were made by the clan elders to betroth her to a wealthy village clan chief. It resulted into the girl child becoming an instrumental social agent of change in her school. Lastly, the initiative highlights the dangers of using Kerosene for lighting and cooking. Generally, the unsustainable use of coal, oil and gas through human-driven activities globally have led to the adverse impacts of climate change that are experienced currently. In most rural and urban communities in Uganda, like in Kampala, charcoal/fuelwood is consumed highly by households, learning institutions among others. For lighting houses, some communities still use dirty and poisonous sources of fuel such as Kerosene yet inhaling the smoke and soot produced causes pulmonary heart and lung diseases hence a health danger to communities. Other dangers caused using Kerosene include destruction of houses, property if not monitored well - an example is the destruction of the kitchen that belonged to the guardian of the orphaned children who lived in Kampala city. Therefore, the drama advocates for the use of renewable energy sources and technologies such as solar lamps or lighting appliances which are clean, accessible, sustainable, and affordable to low-income communities whether in rural or urban communities. The use of clean energy helps substantially in mitigating climate change and supporting communities to cope with climate change and environmental impacts. In addition, encouraging initiatives such as entrepreneurship opportunities as well as football for environmental advocacy or climate change mitigation are prioritized. In conclusion, the advocacy project responds to all the themes of climate change, environmental issues, gender, life in cities as elaborated above.

Title Climate and Menstruation by Egessa Dervin 
Description The illustration represents the dangerous menstrual hygiene management options during disasters and natural catastrophes caused by climate change. Characterised by lack of privacy girls often ignore protection change times, and the lack of access to clean water posses a life threatening impact upon the hygiene of the genitalia of the girls and women. For example in Madagascar due to the climate, it only rains twice a year, women resort to using unclean muddy brown water for washing their menstrual hygiene materials, a troubling thing among other taboo norms of the culture.ii THE PANELS; ? The first panel panel shows the risky menstrual hygiene management in drought areas like Madagascar where it only rains twice a year and girls and women resort to dirty water stored up in reservoirs to wash their menstrual items, and genitalia. ? The second represents the risky improvising of menstrual kits during natural disasters such as landslides and flooding rivers like in Kasese, Buduuda (Uganda)such cause limited access to menstrual hygiene kits leading to use of leaves grass, old rugs as protection and cleaning material, which is dangerous for the health of the girls and women. ? The third represents lack of privacy in displacement camps (post disaster situations) in which girls and women find it hard to change and wash their protection , an d therefore have to walk long distances away from the male counterparts so as to have their basic menstrual hygiene need met.

Title Community Madihin for Social and Climate Justice in South Kalimantan, Indonesia 
Description This video is of a Madihin performance by the local community in Banjarmasin, with representatives from marginalised groups including people with disabilities, older people, and informal workers. It was produced during a series of creative research workshops in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan in 2022 to explore lived experiences of climate change. In 2014, Madihin was recognised by UNESCO as a form of Intangible Cultural Heritage. It is a traditional Banjarese form of comedic and musical oral storytelling, and we co-facilitated these workshops and the Madihin performed in this video with renowned Madihin performer Zakia Sani. 
Type Of Art Film/Video/Animation 
Year Produced 2023 
Impact In the preceding days to this performance, Zakia Sani led a series of Madihin workshops with a group of nine research participants, teaching them how to drum, the different Madihin rhythms, and how to create the couplets to end and begin on the same rhyming word. The group comprised informal workers of mixed ages and gender, including market vendors and bin pickers, including people with disability; selected because they represent a community integral to the social infrastructure that feeds and cleans the city, yet who are neglected in decision-making, urban planning, and disaster risk-reduction processes. They are also on the frontline of increasingly unpredictable weather and hazards, living at the intersections of climate, environmental, and social injustice. They navigate the everyday challenges of increasingly fre- quent and rising floodwaters and unpredictable weather that decimates their daily incomes, while they hope and pray for God's protection in times of difficulty. The choice of Madihin, the Banjar language, and local dialect, and a popular local form of oral storytelling, subverted the emphasis on 'expert' knowledge production on to experiential and lived knowledge, allowing the climate change discussion to open according to local vernacular and logics. It offered a tool through which people can share their stories in an entertaining way, bringing participants, researchers, and musicians together to release sadness while simultaneously laughing together. Humour and laughter not only shape the emerging narratives but are deeply generative and embodied. Humour becomes (and is) a key coping mechanism and way of challenging a perceived lack of agency. Madihin, a form of oral storytelling, resists the hegemony of the written tradition still so dominant in knowledge production about climate change through foregrounding the local values, identities, and priorities that bring people together and shape their resilience to crisis. It creates a safe space for making visible systemic social, climate, and broader tensions and injustices without recourse to forms of resistance or protest that could endanger participants. It thus invites us to confront contested notions of agency, power, and inclusion typically obscured in climate research that creates binaries of victims and villains, and shifts our focus from the narratives of 'experts' and 'decision-makers' to consider the (mostly devalued) every- day labour of people who must adapt and carry each other along.

Title Dou Pajo 
Description This Acrylic on Recycled Paper Mask portrays the Pajo community and their anger and sorrow in response to the exploitation of their natural environment. Although the Pajo lands in Dompu are rich in visible and underground natural resources, the community has witnessed increasing environmental damage following the granting of permits for gold mining on the western side of the mountains surrounding their village. Mining activities have led to the destruction of forests and mountain landscapes, threatening fragile ecosystems and the wildlife that have long inhabited the area, such as deer, honey bees, birds, and other species. The environmental damage has also affected agricultural land at the foot of the mountain, reducing soil fertility and productivity. This contrasts with nearby mountains that remain green and protected as customary forests. The mask reflects the community's resistance to environmental exploitation, pollution, and the degradation of their land. Through various forms of protest and collective action, they assert that protecting nature and natural wealth must be a shared responsibility. Resistance, in this context, becomes an expression of awareness, care for the environment, and respect for customary traditions.

Title East Lombok's Disaster Justice Vision 
Description This digital artwork by M. Alvin Eka presents a layered narrative of disaster and resilience in East Lombok. The sea at the island's edge, painted in shades of blue, symbolises coastal flooding and environmental change-the starting point of crises shaped by the sea and climate. A woman embracing her child stands near a group gathered in a village, reflecting the double burden carried by women, the persistence of child marriage, and the ways women's voices are often overlooked in community decision-making. At the centre of the island, a man sits with his head in his hands while children stare blankly into the distance. This scene represents the invisible wounds left by disaster: depression, anxiety, and trauma following the loss of homes, loved ones, and hope. A dried well nearby symbolises the struggle to access clean water, highlighting how even the most basic needs remain unmet after disaster. Farmers tending barren land and meagre harvests reflect crop failure, food insecurity, and falling prices for agricultural produce. On the hillside, a small health post marked with a green sign, a medical worker, and a wheelchair represent the limited medical facilities available and the increasing number of people living with disabilities after disasters. In another corner, a figure carrying goods from a collapsed house evokes the looting that sometimes occurs in the chaos of crisis, when panic, hunger, and weakened social solidarity take hold. Above the island, a large hand presses down, symbolising violence, injustice, and social pressures that intensify during disasters-also hinting at structures of power and corruption. Yet the work concludes with a vision of hope. At the far end of the island, green shoots and a bright yellow sun signal renewal. They represent pathways toward recovery through community solidarity, small enterprises, sustainable practices such as biogas, and mixed-cropping agriculture-collective efforts that point toward a more just and resilient future.

Title Eka dan Hujan (Eka and rain) by Mama Atha 
Description This video monologue - Eka and Rain's work is inspired by the story of Eka, a trans woman who lived in Kampung Duri and who sang for a dozen years and who has now died. The rainy season and climate change were frightening specters for Eka, because they prevented her from working around the city. Eka didn't have many options to access work, so to survive, Eka had to sing on the street from when she was a teenager until the end of her life. The mediocre income of buskers is exacerbated by climate change conditions, because if it rains Eka cannot sing. If the weather is hot, her body was prone to dehydration and illness."

Title End Gender Injustice Now by Kevin Ssemanda 
Description Climate change has long term implications most especially in Uganda which globally is considered as a third world country. One of those implications unlike the weather effects is gender violence among the Ugandan citizens. In Uganda for at least the last decade has seen the rise of gender injustice. The fact is: the economy of Uganda has been affected by climate change especially with how the families earn money or access opportunities to put food on the table. This abstract art piece is born out of the challenges the family faces when money is tight or if they have to be forced to move due to massive floods, destruction of farms etc. Usually the man is seen as the bread winner in the house especially in the less fortunate homes so when the income is low the woman usually lacks the necessary items to either care for the family or get the basic needs. This causes a rift with the man who intern gets frustrated because he worries about how to get money to feed his family and he gets scared that his wife will leave him for another man who is well off. This leads to gender violence and the woman being beaten fiercely. This leads the woman to cry on her own without any help or little help. This can be seen in the art piece with the woman shedding tears which fill up and consume her life in the end with the dark hand over her mouth. Women live in fear of reporting this injustice to the authorities because of fear of being left alone or even being killed in the process. With the corruption and impunity within the system, the women who suffer aren't really cared for even so the men who inflict this pain aren't afraid of the law catching up to them thus this issue goes unsolved leaving the women powerless to stand up for themselves.

Title Gender Jeopardy: A Game of Trans Resilience (a boardgames) 
Description This boardgame was the product of a collaboration between our project, Sanggar Seroja - a collective of transgender women living in Kampung Duri, Jakarta, leading Indonesian boardgame designer Mahawira Dillon, and illustrated by Kartika Luthfiyah, a talented young Indonesian illustrator. Our vision for a board game that would communicate the layering of disadvantage over time and set out the ways in which socioeconomic, physical, and psychological harms are shaped by gender dynamics. The 160 cards that make up the game - which you can play as a cisgender man or woman or transgender woman - present a working analysis of multiple overlapping disadvantages and risks, and how they can (or not) be navigated through different social support systems. From livelihood choices and salaries, to the impacts of different crises - both generalised and specific to the community - the player gets to experience what life is like in the shoes of a transgender woman. The game translates lived knowledge into a creative tool for understanding intersectional disadvantage in practice, building empathy, and transforming attitudes and practices at grassroots and policy levels. The crises represented on the cards, such as health crises, violent discrimination, family rejection, precarious livelihoods, and environmental catastrophe, are drawn directly from the lived experiences of our collaborators. The board game has been printed both English and Bahasa Indonesia. (it also builds on our Trans Superheroes for Climate project).

Impact The game has been played by grassroots communities, local leaders and government staff, third sector representatives from human rights, gender equality, and environmental and climate change organisations. All report significant changes in attitudes and understanding of how gender inequalities and discrimination intersect with broader structural forces (including socio-economic justice, education, environmental justice - pollution, water and sanitation, poor quality housing etc, health and so on) to limit the capacities of certain communities, particularly LGBTQI+ people, to respond to climate change and disasters. It highlights broader ways in which gender norms, practices and power exacerbates the vulnerabilities of marginalised groups, and disproportionately increases their environmental burdens. The game has been played at various events that brings communities, leaders and third sector representatives into conversation with transgender women who were involved in the project. In turn they can then speak directly to their experiences and share first-hand accounts of the crises represented on the game cards. This combination of game-playing and personal voicing of vulnerabilities has been incredibly powerful and all participants have recorded being significantly moved and pledging to change their own practices and attitudes moving forward. Engagement in the project has also led to new programmes and training on gender and social inclusion at key national environmental organisations. 
 
Title Gender injustice by Mubiru Denis 
Description Graphic art piece: "Evidence shows that women are generally more vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate and gender in justice but through improved health care , education and representation in government society can adapt more quickly and easily to the impacts of a changing climate. A country that can quickly build defences to protect against rising sealevels may be less vulnerable to the negative impacts of flooding than a country that cannot. But if the social -cultural structure s that deprive women of access to resources, decision making, information,agencies are restructured then the vulnerability of women to climate and gender injustice is reversed." Denis Mubiru's vibrant, expressionistic works narrate the personal and the public life stories of everyday Africans. Chaotic, raw and colourful, Denis's style encapsulates a gritty examination of contemporary urban African issues: economic inequality, human rights, social stratification, the environment and evolving personal relationships. Denis, a graduate of Nkumba University, intertwines his vivacious, almost garish use of colours with raw brushstrokes to convey the overwhelming chaos of life. He is an explorer of contemporary Africa: his visual texts spark dialogue about what it truly means to be here. His imagery is potent: mixing the abstract with the obvious and thereby creating a forceful story expressed on canvas. Born and raised in Kampala, Uganda, Denis's paintings are often an exploration of Africa in transit: whether it be on a micro scale, by taking a kamunye or on a macro scale, with emerging economies. Denis's interest in transportation, both physical and psychological, is evident in his art, creating works dedicated to Kampala's Matatu (motorbike taxi) culture. His imagery of transit, the vehicles, the luggage, the people, the movement, is all indicative of our need to constantly be in motion, a state that he ascribes to contemporary Africa in particular. Denis has participated in numerous exhibitions both in Uganda, other countries in Africa and abroad. He is swiftly developing a strong following and collectors base who are expecting exciting things from this young and talented artist.

Title Halin ai.. Bamban Kada Babuah.. - A Comic by Ariel and Zaldi 
Description On the 25th April 2024 we launched Halin ai.. Bamban Kada Babuah, a comic that explores the diverse impacts of urban flooding on communities including women, older people, people living with diffabilities, and informal workers including bin pickers and food and market vendors. It has been published in Banjar, Bahasa Indonesia and English. Illustrated and storyboarded by Ariel, and coloured by Zaldi, the comic brings to life lived experiences shared by people living in riverside communities in the city of Banjarmasin in a series of creative workshops led by GENERATE in 2022. Facilitated by Ariel, these creative workshops invited participants to draw and illustrate their experiences of urban flooding, combining creative expression with discussion and critical reflections on the ways in which social, economic and environmental injustices intersect in their lives to exacerbate the impacts of flooding. The participants represented a community integral to the social infrastructure that feeds and cleans the city, yet who are excluded from decision-making, urban planning, and disaster risk-reduction processes. They are, however, on the frontline of increasingly unpredictable weather and hazards, living at the intersections of climate, environmental, and social injustice. These workshops, and the comic itself, explore the different ways in which people experience and navigate the everyday challenges of increasingly frequent and rising tides and floodwaters and unpredictable weather that disproportionately impacts their health, homes and livelihoods. The comic highlights, in particular, the experiences and perspectives of people living with diffability. We adopt here the term difabel (differently-abled), which was derived by Mansour Fakih and Setiadi Purwanta in Indonesia to critique the term disabilitas (disability), which perpetuates and re-produces the marginalisation of people with disabilities and fails to recognise (or normalise) the diversity of abilities. The comic aims to foreground the diversity of individual experiences as they encounter and navigate structural inequalities and injustice, highlighting how flooding intersects with gender, age, diffability, poverty, and other structural factors. We have been using it as a tool for engaging communities and stakeholders from city government to mobilise more inclusive and transformative approaches to disaster risk reduction and climate change. It was launched in partnership with our Kayuh Baimbai diffability-inclusive disaster preparedness toolkit on 25th April 2024.

We are also engaging with local, national and international media on ways to take these stories to a broader audience to trigger local and national debate on the need to engage these groups in planning for climate change. The comic has been disseminated alongside our Kayuh Baimbai Disability-Inclusive Disaster Preparedness Toolkit to highlight the need for intersectional and justice-focused approaches to climate action and disaster preparedness.

Title I Can't Breathe by Philip Peter Kairu 
Description Collage commissioned as part of the See Change exhibition. Currently on display at the Uganda Museum, in the See Change book, and part of the online exhibition. In the words of the artist: "I can't breathe" was prompted by my research into the critical issue of the Black Lives Matter movement and the All Lives Matter campaign. While preparing for my final year exhibition at the Margaret Trowell School of Industrial Fine Art, where I studied photography, my lecturer encouraged me to use current issues in a different context to highlight other related concerns that require attention. In producing this collage, I sketched various concepts and engaged with friends to gain insight into their experiences with disabilities. Through these interactions, I became aware of the numerous unresolved issues surrounding the rights of disabled individuals, as well as how often their experiences are ignored. Furthermore, I drew on my experience photographing Mutuba Pascio, a disabled man who spoke about how programs and policies often mention disability concerns but fall short of implementing them. Mutuba Pascio was my collaborator during the 2021 UPPA mentorship program.

Impact Together, these collages possess a unique narrative that speaks to the significance of how climate change has impacted aspects of our world that may not have been initially considered, such as the LGBTQ community. While they were made from various articles, they serve as a powerful reminder of the impact of climate change on our world, as well as the importance of continuing to explore and understand these important issues, as well as the need for creatives to use materials and resources that are readily available to them, as I did to illustrate the climate change impacts.

Title IN THE MIDST OF THE EARTH'S SHAKING (Anonymous) 
Description When the earth trembles and cracking sounds split the air, I do not see panic. I only hear screams And footsteps running in search of safety. I cannot see the direction, Yet I know where to step. My hands trace fragile, shaking walls, My heart prays that everyone will be safe and well. I am not afraid. Darkness is nothing new to me. I have long been a companion of silence. What is new is the trembling ground beneath my feet, And even that cannot break my resolve. I believe, Even when my eyes are closed to the world, God still guides me with a light that never fades.

Title In the City Compound by Muramuzi Johnbosco 
Description The description of the art work is as follows, it is a painting on canvas; The artwork collectively portray life in the city most especially Kampala city in Uganda. Different activities that people participate in while in the city, and the general city life both promote climate and gender justice while others climate and gender injustice. The city compound has got vegetation cover with in the city gardens that include flowers that are tended to by mostly women unlike men; there are different tree species that help in capturing carbon dioxide from vehicle fumes, industrial fumes thereby purifying the city air, soil is captured through proper water infiltration by the tree roots and soil erosion is stopped in the city. Also, the trees aid in storing carbon; this help in modifying the climate promoting justice. The vegetation cover ensure timely rain fall and provide habitation to wildlife. There is production of food through urban farming among the city dwellers which reduce on the cost of production and living and this ensures gender justice as both men and women indulge themselves in this. Construction activities of mainly sky scrappers that are so common favour men greatly to work on such buildings and this promotes fender injustice since women are looked at as the weak ones. Cost of living in slums around the city tend to be cheap favoring low income earners to stay there and as they do business in the city, development can be assured. This promotes gender justice.

Maids highlighted the uncertainty in their jobs and the health risks they experience as well as the lack of social and healthcare assistance. The output was 8 montages (collage) telling about the body and health risk from their works, climate change and its impact to the body. We also explored about their hope and expectation, support system and what makes them happy and resilience.

Impact The montage generated significant visual data about the experiences and insights of the maids and informal workers, especially in ways that centre what is most important to them. Participants reported enjoying the workshops, being listened to, having the chance to experiment with a new artform, build connections between them, take a rest from their work, and the opportunity to tell their stories. These montages will be used for local advocacy and activism, as well as for our work with policymakers to strengthen their capacity to adopt an inclusive and intersectional approach to climate action and resilience-building. 
 
Title Justice Scale (Timbangan Keadilan) 
Description By Muhammad Avin Eka Phasya and fashioned out of metal scraps, this scale holds both community initiatives and solutions, and the injustices that they experience. Each element holds meaning. Starting from the top, car horn is to voice injustice, clutches on both sides to balance policies and programs, chain and cog symbolizes circle of life and the justice system, and the immovable tyre disc at the bottom represents justice which typically comes late, but justice will eventually come.

Title Komik Perahu Kampung Sewu 
Description This comic was co-designed between GENERATE, undergraduate design students from Universitas Sebelas Maret and the general public in Solo, Indonesia. It focused on the reconstruction of a shipyard memory site focused on recovering and reactivating river-based cultural heritage associated with traditional boat production (perahu) in Kampung Sewu. Historically, Kampung Sewu was a significant river port along the Bengawan Solo, where boat production supported active inland trade networks. Traces of this activity can be found in ancient inscriptions dating back to the Majapahit era, indicating the long-standing importance of river-based transport and craftsmanship in the area. Although boat production in Kampung Sewu ceased in the 1990s, its cultural and economic significance remains embedded in community memory. This activity sought to document and reinterpret this largely forgotten river culture by foregrounding lived experiences of those who directly participated in, or witnessed, the boat-building process. Rather than attempting a physical reconstruction of the shipyard, the project focused on memory reconstruction as a form of cultural mapping, recognising storytelling and material recollection as critical components of intangible heritage. The activity took place on 23 May 2025 at the community pendapa in Kampung Sewu and was structured as a storytelling session involving four elderly community members who had been actively engaged in, or closely connected to, traditional boat production. All students and members of the research team participated as listeners and co-documenters. The storytelling sessions explored multiple dimensions of the former boatbuilding industry, including the historical development of the shipyard, production capacity, types of boats produced, commissioning processes, and the geographical organisation of production sites along the river. Narratives also detailed boat design, construction techniques, tools and materials used, and the collective nature of the production process. Of particular significance were accounts describing how the entire community participated in the final stage of production-especially during the ceremonial launching of boats into the river-often accompanied by specific rituals intended to ensure safety and success. Students and researchers documented the sessions through written notes and visual sketches, capturing not only factual information but also gestures, spatial references, and emotional expressions that enriched the narratives. This multimodal documentation approach allowed complex technical and cultural knowledge to be translated into visual form while preserving narrative nuance. A key outcome of this activity was the transformation of the collected stories into a comic themed around the Kampung Sewu shipyard. Students took a leading role in developing the narrative script and visual characters, drawing directly from the storytelling sessions. The comic format was deliberately chosen as an accessible and engaging medium for disseminating historical knowledge to contemporary audiences, particularly younger generations who have limited exposure to riverbased heritage. Notably, the comic development process remained participatory beyond the initial storytelling stage. Draft versions of the comic were shared with the original narrators and other community members, who provided feedback, corrections, and additional details. This iterative exchange reinforced community ownership over the representation of their histories and ensured cultural accuracy.

Year Produced 2025 
Impact The narrators expressed strong enthusiasm in sharing their memories, often noting that this was the first time their experiences had been formally recorded or recognised as valuable knowledge. Community responses to the comic drafts further indicated a sense of pride and renewed interest in Kampung Sewu's river-based past. Findings from this activity demonstrate that storytelling and creative translation can effectively recover marginalised industrial and cultural histories while strengthening intergenerational knowledge exchange. The reconstruction of the shipyard memory site highlighted the centrality of the river as a socio-economic infrastructure and underscored how cultural memory can function as a resource for reimagining community identity and resilience in the present. 
 
Title Lengger dance and orang utan: an unwanted Indonesian heritage? by Achmad Dimas 
Description "Lengger dance, the original art of Banyumas, is a traditional dance that is played by 2 to 4 men like women who are dressed in typical clothes. Lengger is one proof that in Indonesia, those with different gender and sexual orientations walked in harmony with the community without feeling discriminated against and even losing the opportunity to live, they were immigrants who were not supposed to eliminate the original identity of the country they colonized. .. the orangutan who was in the arms of the lengger dancer, he presented Pony, the poor orangutan who became a sex slave who was forced to serve dozens of men every day with his body chained to the bed. In accordance with the title of my work, lengger dancers and orangutans are an unwanted Indonesian heritage and are only used as entertainment, slowly the area where orangutans live is being engulfed in flames due to global warming and the lengger culture is disappearing due to foreign cultural influences, it's time we all move on this suppression of equality."

Title Let's Get To Know Puspita Bahari: The Fisherwomen's Movement in Coastal Demak 
Description This zine is the result of a powerful collaboration between Puspita Bahari and the GENERATE project at the University of Leeds, uniting fisherwomen, researchers, and artists to amplify impactful stories of resilience, leadership, and community-driven change. It was developed based on research data conducted by Andi Misbahul Pratiwi (PhD Student, School of Geography, University of Leeds) as part of the GENERATE project in 2024. The research was conducted using feminist participatory action research involving 38 fisherwomen in coastal villages, Demak, Central Java, Indonesia. It was designed by Efi Sri Handayani, and co-authored by: Masnuah (Puspita Bahari), Siti Darwati (Puspita Bahari, Tambak Polo Group), Hidayah (Puspita Bahari, Morodemak Group), Rusikah (Timbulsloko Village Women), Andi Misbahul Pratiwi (University of Leeds) and Katie McQuaid (University of Leeds) Together, we celebrate the strength of Indonesia's fisherwomen and their vital role in shaping a sustainable and equitable future.

Impact Puspita Bahari is a fisherwomen's community in Demak Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. They were founded in 2005 with the spirit of empowering fisherwomen and helping them improve their welfare and escape and break the chains of patriarchal culture. Puspita Bahari was born as an oasis amid the strong patriarchal culture in coastal communities and to challenge the continued dominance of masculinity within the fisherfolk movement in Indonesia. Through this zine, we bring to life the voices and experiences of fisherwomen navigating the challenges of climate change while showcasing innovative, community-led, and transformative practices. This creative celebration is more than a publication-it is a feminist act of documenting women's knowledge, power, and leadership for a local, national, global audience, inspiring change and igniting hope. We launched it with a policymaking event in September 2024 and the zine has since been used extensively by Puspita Bahari in their activism and advocacy, raising awareness of the movement itself and the challenges facing women in coastal communities.

Impact GENERATE shared some findings and climate issues in Banjarmasin with two professional Madihin artists who then transformed our findings into Madihin lyrics. We recorded the performances that was held by river kuin in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The clips will form the basis of policy trainings and capacity-building workshops to be held with policymakers and practitioners in Banjarmasin in 2023. They are also being shared with local civil society to use for advocacy and activism. The professional artists had never performed on the riverside or about social justice issues, and expressed new skills and confidence to use this indigenous form of musical comedic storytelling for different purposes, and this would lead to new commissions and livelihood opportunities, as well as recognition and support for this form of cultural heritage.

Facilitator then asked participants to write lyrics based on their own experiences dealing with climate change. Participants sang the madihin with the facilitator and were recorded to make into video clip. Participants reported the positive impacts of sharing their experiences, discovering shared experience, and the joy and fun of engaging in this indigenous form of oral storytelling. The facilitator and his assistant reported discovering new ways of sharing madihin, never before working with people living with disability, learning new techniques for public engagement, and all participants and facilitators reported learning new knowledge about climate change, coping mechanisms, and how to express their stories in different ways. New connections arose between participants leading to new support networks, especially amongst those living with disability accessing new support systems and volunteers. As a research team we collected interesting visual/oral data. 
 
Title Madihin for Social and Climate Justice in South Kalimantan, Indonesia Part 1 
Description In collaboration with Muhammad Budi Zakia Sani and Syahril, two leading Banjarese performers, we co-facilitated a performance of Madihin on the riverside in Banjarmasin, a city in South Kalimantan. Perched on chairs on a wooden jembatan (bridge) extending over one of Banjarmasin's fabled 1,000 rivers, the two musicians perform a Madihin they composed in response to our interview transcripts. It spotlights the everyday experiences of riverside women who live around the Kuin Estuary, and besides us and our camera, a series of riverside residents (including those who shared their stories) are the only audience. Madihin 'on the street' like this was novel to both the performers and our eclectic audience bemused by the impromptu performance unfolding on their doorstep. In 2014, Madihin was recognised by UNESCO as a form of Intangible Cultural Heritage. It is a spontaneous musical monologue repartee by one or more Pamadihinan (musicians) in traditional dress, who use a drumming instrument called a tarbang. The Madihin highlights how tanggui makers are struggling against the climate, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and global extractive capitalism. In a few short verses, the Madihin highlights a tapestry of local and global forces at work in the everyday lives of working-class women living on Banjarmasin's riverside, laying open the messy and contentious politics at work in shaping how climate impacts land.

Impact In the preceding days to this performance, Zakia Sani led a series of Madihin workshops with a group of nine research participants, teaching them how to drum, the different Madihin rhythms, and how to create the couplets to end and begin on the same rhyming word. The group comprised informal workers of mixed ages and gender, including market vendors and bin pickers, including people with disability; selected because they represent a community integral to the social infrastructure that feeds and cleans the city, yet who are neglected in decision-making, urban planning, and disaster risk-reduction processes. They are also on the frontline of increasingly unpredictable weather and hazards, living at the intersections of climate, environmental, and social injustice. They navigate the everyday challenges of increasingly fre- quent and rising floodwaters and unpredictable weather that decimates their daily incomes, while they hope and pray for God's protection in times of difficulty. The choice of Madihin, the Banjar language, and local dialect, and a popular local form of oral storytelling, subverted the emphasis on 'expert' knowledge production on to experiential and lived knowledge, allowing the climate change discussion to open according to local vernacular and logics. It offered a tool through which people can share their stories in an entertaining way, bringing participants, researchers, and musicians together to release sadness while simultaneously laughing together. Humour and laughter not only shape the emerging narratives but are deeply generative and embodied. Humour becomes (and is) a key coping mechanism and way of challenging a perceived lack of agency. Madihin, a form of oral storytelling, resists the hegemony of the written tradition still so dominant in knowledge production about climate change through foregrounding the local values, identities, and priorities that bring people together and shape their resilience to crisis. It creates a safe space for making visible systemic social, climate, and broader tensions and injustices without recourse to forms of resistance or protest that could endanger participants. It thus invites us to confront contested notions of agency, power, and inclusion typically obscured in climate research that creates binaries of victims and villains, and shifts our focus from the narratives of 'experts' and 'decision-makers' to consider the (mostly devalued) every- day labour of people who must adapt and carry each other along.

Title Mama Nankya by Aida Namukose 
Description 'Mama Nankya', a photograph by Aida Namukose. GENERATE invites applicants to submit a piece of artistic work and an accompanying description that explains what inspired the work and how it interprets the theme of "Climate and Gender (In)Justice in the City" in the context of urban Uganda or Indonesia. As with most societal injustices, the brunt of climate change is typically bared by women, especially low-income women. Ill placed landfills are a common feature in Ugandan cities, and a visit to one of them reveals that the majority of people that dwell and work there are women and children. The correlation between gender injustice and climate change is not one that's typically highlighted or written about, and I too was surprised to find many women of all ages and young children working in the highly hazardous conditions that are Kampala's landfills. These landfills release large amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes towards climate change as well as health problems for those that are overly exposed to it. I asked this lady (mama Nankya) for permission to photograph her because I believed that her (and other women's) reality in this spaces is an important one to share, talk about and resolve. I'm always interested in combining my artistic skills and activism interests (particularly) for African women and telling the vastly hidden stories is what inspired this piece and the rest in the series. I believe it highlights important realities such as; economic inequality and the growing issue of garbage disposal in our cities and what that means for the environment as well as the people that inhabit it.

Title Mask of Disappointment 
Description Acrylic on Recycled Paper Mask This mask (acrylic painted on recycled paper mask) tells the story of a mother waiting through the night for water from the household tap. At 2:10 a.m., accompanied only by the sound of barking dogs, she checks the faucet after two days without water from the public supply. Her hope fades as the tap releases only the hollow sound of air, no water flows. Fighting exhaustion and sleep, she continues to wait. At 3:00 a.m., water finally begins to run, and a brief moment of relief appears on her face. Yet the joy is short-lived; the flow lasts only thirty minutes before stopping again. This cycle has become a daily routine for years, reflecting a life shaped by scarcity and uncertainty. Do not waste water that others are still waiting and hoping for.

Title Maybe Never by Farid Hamka 
Description Gender injustices happen through the lens of eco-anxiety. Indonesian women, no matter how settled in their careers, are expected to be a nurturing caregiver for the family. They are expected to make babies and rear them to adulthood. Through this short story, I argue that in response to climate change, women are affected differently through their personalised response to ecological problems. Although some women want to choose motherhood, it nevertheless scares and burdens them. The story also highlights the pernicious effects of gender roles that create hyper-masculine, exploitative men. A reckoning with climate issues need to take into account these gender-based pressures.

Title Mlayu-Mlayu (to run/to go off) by Ivy Londa & Dinar Bayu 
Description Juni, a woman who stitches her husband's fishing net. Since the dredging and construction of a coal jetty near where she and her family lives in East Roban, Batang, Central Java, her husband's daily catch has been extremely depleted. She used the word 'mlayu-mlayu' to describe the fishes around her husband's catching area. It is a javanese word for 'to run or to go off'. The fishes that once they relied their lives upon, are now gone. Involuntarily trade she and her family have to make, in order to supply 'more' electricity to the cities. This artwork... A remembering of Juni's story, whose story might never be heard in the crowd and cheers of development victories. When we wake up from the morning sun, the story lingers in our mind about the potential of clean energy that the government neglected to answer. This perhaps speaks out all of our stories, in the name of The Brighter Indonesia, do not dim her own beacon."

Title Nalubaale Takes Over by Kanyike Edgar 
Description Between April and June of 2020, there was flooding on the shores of Lake Nalubaale a.k.a. Lake Victoria. In Uganda, Mulungu was one of the shores that was flooded in this time. The community in Mulungu was a very vibrant space of businesses, homesteads and a lifestyle that had existed on the shores for generations. This very live community was pushed away and hundreds of people lost their properties to this "tragic" change as the lake slowly took over this space. Though the people of Mulungu were severely affected, a few months after the flooding; after the new shore line was created; after some of the residents had rebuilt their lives(on a piece of land close by) and everything was back to business-as-usual, their previous home(or what was left of it) was turned into a wasteland that is heavily polluted with plastic. It is clear that no one stopped to question what could have caused this flooding, or what could cause the next (or an uglier event). We have not educated ourselves about the consequences of our actions towards our environment. We (the city) have not made ourselves aware of the pollution that is a threat to us and the space we occupy, even with such a brutal experience

Title Niko & Rahasia Bola Empu Kampung Sewu 
Description A key research output from our Revitalisation of the "Empu" Mud Ball Game event in July 2025 in Solo, Indonesia was the development of an illustrated book narrating the story and rules of the Empu game, produced by the research team in collaboration with Universities Sebelas Maret, based on workshop observations and documentation. The book is intended as an educational medium for contemporary children, translating embodied and place-specific knowledge into an accessible visual format while retaining the cultural significance of the game. The activity also generated critical reflections on contemporary challenges facing river-based cultural practices. Observations revealed that suitable river mud has become increasingly difficult to obtain due to changes in the physical characteristics of the river, while sloping riverbanks-essential for the ball race-have largely disappeared following the construction of concrete embankments (talud). These spatial and material constraints highlight how infrastructural interventions, while addressing flood control, can unintentionally erode cultural practices and informal learning environments.

Year Produced 2025 
Impact Findings from the Empu workshop indicate that traditional play can function as an effective entry point for rebuilding children's relationships with the river, while also exposing the socio-ecological impacts of urban river transformation. The activity demonstrates how participatory, intergenerational approaches can simultaneously support cultural continuity, environmental awareness, and critical reflection on contemporary urban development. 
 
Title Nina-bobo yang tidak mau Ibu nyanyikan (The lullaby that I (your mother) don't want to sing) by Gilang Widya 
Description I made this song based on my worries as a woman. That I am not yet a mother. But I'm trying to make a work that hopefully can represent the anxiety of many 'mother' figures in Indonesia and the world. A figure who is often forgotten how much she contributed to educating her children and husband. A figure who also plays an important role in protecting the environment wherever she lives. A person whose warmth can soothe but also listen. A character that is often forgotten. Yet her anxiety was so deep.

Title North Lombok's Disaster Justice Vision I 
Description By Mashur Hadi, this digital artwork illustrates the complex journey toward disaster justice in North Lombok. A map represents the path of life and the process of reaching collective goals-often filled with challenges and uncertainty, yet always with a beginning and an end in sight. A boat symbolises the community's journey through the currents of life and disaster, as well as the spirit of mutual cooperation and hope that carries people forward. A seated woman represents vulnerable groups during disasters, including women, pregnant mothers, and persons with disabilities, whose needs often require special attention. The berugaq, a traditional open pavilion, symbolises local wisdom and community-based early warning systems that help people prepare for and respond to disasters. A set of scales represents justice and the balance between rights and responsibilities, emphasising the need for fair policies for all those affected. Other symbols reveal the obstacles on this journey. A labyrinth reflects the winding path toward disaster justice-one that is rarely straightforward and requires careful direction. A chair highlights inequality in access to resources: some enjoy comfort and privilege, while others struggle to meet their most basic needs. A vehicle represents the importance of transportation and logistics during emergencies, while also pointing to the limitations of current disaster response infrastructure. Finally, a scarecrow symbolises village life, agriculture, and the simple forms of protection used by traditional communities to safeguard their livelihoods.

Title North Lombok's Disaster Justice Vision II 
Description By Mashur Hadi, this digital artwork weaves together symbols of everyday life, nature, and resilience in North Lombok. A small warung, stall, represents the creativity and livelihoods of communities living near water, as well as a space for trade and social interaction. Nearby houses reflect the lives of coastal and village communities whose simple homes are closely tied to the sea, revealing both their closeness to nature and their vulnerability to disaster. A plate of food symbolises local culinary wisdom-simple yet nourishing meals that sustain communities across the archipelago. Cracked earth represents drought, food insecurity, and the environmental challenges faced by many communities. In contrast, a sunflower symbolises resilience and hope-life that continues to grow even amid hardship. A female figure represents nature itself, often understood as Ibu Pertiwi, the motherland. Her golden hair evokes sunlight and fertility, while her tears express sorrow over environmental damage and the loss of ecological balance. Other elements reflect the powerful forces of nature. Ocean waves symbolise the sea as both a source of life and a potential threat, recalling disasters such as tsunamis and coastal flooding. A mountain represents Indonesia's fertile landscapes rich in natural resources, yet also vulnerable to natural hazards like volcanic eruptions. Above all, the sun shines as a symbol of life, energy, and the possibility of renewal, pointing toward hope for a more balanced relationship between people, nature, and disaster justice.

Title On the Bucket Towards School by Farrah Eva Nabila 
Description "Climate change has the most severe impact on women from the lowest social groups. The gender role in the nuances of the short story ""On the Bucket Towards School"" is a role played by the character ""Mamak"", Mamak in Javanese is called Mother, the character ""Mamak"" here is a widow who has a daughter who is located in the character ""I " currently studying, both have their own challenges in dealing with climate change that occurs in coastal areas; North Sea of Java, Kampung Beting, West Java, Indonesia. The character between ""Mamak"" and ""I"" implies a social response that actively plays various gender roles as an adaptation of the Coastal Flood or Rob Flood which has become an evolutionary phenomenon to this day. ... This climate change affects the productivity of the "Mamak" character, who was originally a fisherman, now works to pick up trash. The condition faced by the ""Mamak"" character is an illustration of the changing role of gender in the adaptation process to the Flood Rob environment which shows the double burden of the ""Mamak"" character. This burden causes gender inequality. Likewise with the character ""I"" who entered the social and political space. The "I" character strives to overcome the challenges of climate change by getting an education. Where the character ""I"" is the hope for women's civilization to dynamically enter the empty spaces."

Title People with Diffabilities' Disaster Justice Vision 
Description By Rhandika Rhozani, this digital artwork envisions a more inclusive world where persons with disabilities are recognized as equal members of society. The image of the Earth held within a pair of hands symbolises that everyone deserves the right to live, grow, and thrive on this planet. The hands also represent collaboration between the government and communities in building a more harmonious and inclusive society. A speaker and microphone symbolise the importance of public outreach and awareness. The work emphasises that education and dissemination about disasters and disability must be expanded, particularly in Indonesia, so that preparedness and support reach all members of society. Handshakes and human figures represent cooperation, inclusion, and the possibility of living together without divisions or exclusion. Other symbols highlight the aspirations and rights of persons with disabilities. A paper aeroplane represents their voices and hopes to be heard. A candle symbolises hope, while money suggests the need for dedicated funding and resources. A door represents access and accessibility, an envelope points to employment opportunities, a notebook symbolises proper data collection and recognition, and a graduation cap stands for education. Together, these elements outline the foundations of a more just and inclusive disaster response system.

Title Piir (Life) 
Description A song was collaboratively written by youth refugees from South Sudan to raise awareness of their intersecting experiences of environmental and climate injustice, multiple forced displacement, and migration to the city of Gulu in Northern Uganda. It drew together insights collaboratively gathered during sharing workshops, drawing diaries and one-to-one interviews. The creation was co-led by Benjamin Spartos, a well-known and regarded musician in Gulu. The song was then professionally recorded and produced by Benjamin. The (translated) lyrics: VERSE 1: Micco: Why Life? Life is hard Life I started following when I was young but life didn't pay me Life that I've served when I was young and Life didn't pay me I was finding the root of life when I was young but it didn't pay me Life I served, Life that mistreated me Life mistreated me when I was young CHORUS: Sweet B: Life is hard, what does life want?

Wider publics have phoned into Radio King to report new understanding of the vulnerabilities facing young refugees. 
 
Title Pilot Queer and Trans Community's Disaster Justice Vision 
Description This digital artwork by Mashur Hadi brings together fragments of stories, memories, and hopes shaped by the experience of earthquakes in Mataram. The broken tectonic plates symbolize the disaster itself, holding the many narratives that emerge in its aftermath. A small vehicle represents the simple mobility needed for communities to remain active and connected during times of crisis. Three figures in red symbolize minority groups whose voices are often overlooked during disaster response. A tent represents temporary shelter during the earthquake, while the dishes being prepared refer to the idea of a "recipe for disaster justice"-a metaphor for sharing knowledge, care, and collective solutions. The familiar Lombok dish plecing is used as a symbol of something widely understood and accepted across communities, emphasising how cooking and sharing food can become acts of solidarity. Other elements reflect the challenges of advocacy. A box of accumulated aspirations, stacked like piles of waste, suggests how community voices are often ignored by authorities. Meanwhile, a truck labeled "solidarity" represents grassroots initiatives that serve as bridges, expanding networks of mutual support. Together, these elements capture the emotional experiences of disaster and the ongoing struggle to build more inclusive and just responses.

The exhibition not only provided an opportunity for learning for the general public on climate change, but a chance to tell their own stories about how environmental challenges have impacted them and how they are coping with these challenges. The pop-up exhibition also provided an opportunity to engage parts of the general public who would be unlikely to attend an exhibition in a more traditional space (gallery, museum), by taking the work directly to them in a space where the impacts of changes in the environmental (increased temperatures, erratic rainfall) can be clearly seen and experienced.

Title Queer and Trans Community's Disaster Justice Vision 
Description This digital artwork by Rhandika Rhozani reflects the social dynamics that shape everyday life and resilience in Mataram. Music appears as a symbol of entertainment, well-being, creativity, and the positive energy that sustains social life. A figure emerging from a mobile phone represents the reality of modern society, where people increasingly interact through digital media-suggesting both new forms of connection and the limitations of virtual social life. A wheel symbolizes the desire to maintain real, face-to-face relationships beyond the digital world, reflecting the interconnected movement between elites, ordinary citizens, and the wider community. Scenes of eating together represent daily necessities such as food, nutrition, and the importance of togetherness within families and communities. Other elements highlight the values that must be upheld in collective life: mental wellbeing, mutual respect, and healthy social interaction. A small local warung serves as a symbol of an everyday social space-an informal gathering place where people meet, share stories, and strengthen community ties. Through these symbols, the work emphasizes the importance of social connection, care, and solidarity in building more resilient communities in times of crisis.

The form and shape of my works were inspired by Semsar Siahaan, one of the progressive artists who became my reference in making works, but in the form or expression of my works I chose the style of freedom in term of form, stroke, medium and exhibition space. Talking about gender is the same as talking about the rights of fellow human beings, exploitation of nature anywhere (especially in Indonesia) in the form of mining, land grabbing and oil palm plantations, is identical with men as the mascot of the power for what is done by the exploiters.""

Title Resep Keadilan Bencana (Recipes for Disaster Justice) Festivals: 'Towards an Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction' (Festivals in East Lombok, West Lombok, Central Lombok, North Lombok and Mataram) 
Description We hosted our Resep Keadilan Bencana (Recipes for Disaster Justice) Festival: 'Towards an Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction in East Lombok' event in collaboration with the Department of Library and Archives of East Lombok in Selong, East Lombok, on the 21st of January 2026. The Festival, comprising an arts exhibition that presents key research findings and a programme of guided tours and stakeholder panels, aims to bring together the public, regional government agencies, civil society organisations, schools and universities, and the private sector to discuss new pathways to meaningful, inclusive disaster risk reduction. It is an outcome of the ongoing Resep Keadilan Bencana project, a six-month community- and arts-based initiative locally led by Lalu Faris Naufal Makhroja and Maulani Furi Fajarini. It aims to collectively explore and creatively document community experiences of injustice and disasters and co-create 'Recipes for Disaster Justice' - inclusive, community-led visions for intersectional disaster resilience. Combining arts with reflection and discussion, all members of each diverse community, are positioned as knowledge holders and experts. To date, our research team have hosted 14 community-led workshops with more than 120 participants from diverse backgrounds, worked with over 18 civil society organisations, and co-created more than 130 artworks and counter-maps. The Festival has formally launched a series of public exhibitions which will open across four regions in Lombok over the next six months in East, Central, North, and West Lombok. The exhibitions focus on the theme of disaster justice - ensuring there is equity in how people can prepare for, survive and sustainably recover from disasters. The roaming exhibitions showcase artworks created by both communities and local artists. These explore the lived experiences, innovations, and injustices of diverse communities across the island, while also setting out new community-led visions for disaster justice. Featured arts include wayang puppets, masks, batik, embroidery, collage, paintings, sculptures, pottery and poetry. In addition, the exhibitions centre counter-maps created by communities that document multiple forms of environmental, social, health and economic hazards and disasters, demonstrating there is no such thing as a 'natural' disaster. The opening Festival gathered 134 participants, including activists, representatives from 15 civil society organisations in East Lombok, Chiefs of the Regional Disaster Counter Measures Agency and East Lombok Red Cross, Heads of East Lombok Planning Agency, Department of Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Family Planning, ?Department of Social Affairs, Department of Environment and Forestry, ? Department of Community and Village Development and Department of Labour and Transmigration. It was opened by speeches from Associate Professor of Gender and Climate Katie McQuaid, the Head of the Department of Library and Archives of East Lombok, and the Vice Regent of East Lombok.

Year Produced 2026 
Impact In the first panel, the First Assistant of the East Lombok Regional Secretariat, on behalf of the Vice Regent, outlined actions the administration has taken to mitigate the risks and hazards Lombok, particularly East Lombok, is facing. Included in his speech were statistics by the West Nusa Tenggara's Disaster Counter Measures Agency, revealing the region was hit by 136 disasters in the past year, while the island recorded 578 disaster events, making East Lombok the region with the highest frequency of disasters on the island for five consecutive years. We then provided opportunities for activists, civil society and community members to raise and discuss issues of injustice and disaster directly with policymakers. One example was devastating flooding in the southern part of East Lombok on 24th December 2025. A traditionally drought-prone region that rarely experiences heavy rainfall, neither communities or authorities were prepared for flooding. While 44,000 houses were submerged and around 5,600 houses experienced varying degrees of damage, participants reported that social protection and aid have yet to reach the communities impacted. The second panel included speakers such as Khadijah, a member of the Indonesian Women with Disabilities Association, Suhupawati, Head of local organisation Gema Alam, the Chief of the East Lombok Disaster Counter Measures Agency, and the Head of the East Lombok Regional Planning Agency. This session explored the strengths and initiatives taken by women and women with diffabilities despite entrenched ableism and patriarchal inequities. Importantly, this session served as a platform for policymakers, civil society organisations, and communities to discuss best practices and pathways to inclusive disaster risk reduction and management. The Festival concluded with a collective pledge to work collaboratively between decision-makers, civil society organisations, the private sector and the public to address injustices as an integral part of disaster management.

Title Sebelum gumuk kami tinggal kenangan (Before our sand dunes becomes history) by Nurillah Achmad 
Description ""I wrote it (stories of sand dunes in her village) into this poem because out there, women who own rice fields and 'gumuk', have conflicts whether for economic reasons or family disputes, in fact, we are powerless. No hopes, except the persistence of individuals to defend the legacy of their ancestors. I think that if one day there will be flash floods, hurricanes, or rainfall that has not been absent for the past year, flooded our area, there is no need to bring God's name or the Holy Books. Just mention the names of rulers and humans who think they are humans, but indeed an evil who creates hell on earth."

Title Suit Me by Myra Juliarti 
Description "Suit me is a short jacket with the connected long sleeves. This dysfunctional product made the user unable to see their hands and cause them challenges to deal with. Tailored jackets used to be worn by men and here,  the jacket symbolize chances. Made from 100% cotton,Hand drawing in water-based ink and having embroidery detail. Women and men, while given the same chance will go through a totally different path. While going to work is a path of wake up, bath, breakfast and off to the work place for men, women have longer and busier path. Women are constructed to do double work, domestic and public. And while men were appreciated by earning their salary fair and square, women--where in sociey are considered as the second sex, below men and less capable--will received just as much as the company thinks their worth is."

Title Sustainable building in response to climate change and gender (in)justice in the city by DOREEN ARINAITWE 
Description The impacts of climate change; poverty plays a major role. Due to the living conditions of the poor, they are often more exposed to hazards, and have fewer options to avoid, or cope with the impacts. As, according to UNDP, more than 70 per cent of the world's poor are female, the share of women among the most vulnerable is dis-proportionably high. Moreover, there are additional factors indicating that vulnerability involves heavy gender differentials that need to be taken into consideration. At the local level, a range of inequalities and injustices are directly apparent and tangible. In most cities around the world, the divide between the privileged and underprivileged is as large as the global divide between developed and least developed countries. While a small proportion of citizens claim the major share of land for housing, mobility and recreation, the majority of others are crowded together in slums yet the carbon footprint is mostly caused by the rich with luxurious houses building with concrete and other materials that emit carbon in the air. The size of the carbon footprints of different citizens ranges from very large to virtually zero. The poorest groups, such as slum dwellers, usually have the smallest carbon footprint, and, moreover, they often live in areas most exposed to climate hazards, such as landslide or flood prone areas. These inequalities are related to income, class, age, race, ethnicity, health status, etc. Within all this inequalities, gender leads to a further differentiation, and in most cases, leads to different impacts of climate change on women and men. Within low-income populations, women often have particular vulnerabilities as a result of gender-related inequalities. Vulnerability depends on exposure to the negative effects of climate variability, and the capacity to avoid these effects or cope with them. This capacity depends on income, assets, education and knowledge, and here again, there is a gender bias all over the world, and women have lower incomes. In some countries facing constraints due to cultural patterns and norms, women are responsible for the bulk of unpaid care work. They are responsible for climatically sensitive tasks such as securing food, water and energy which ensures the well-being of a household. When climate related disasters strike the poorest families living in slums, the workload for women and girls increases and they tend to miss out on opportunities. The effects of climate change such as drought and floods and rising temperatures in the city put greater pressure on women to shoulder the adverse consequences on the household. The building construction industry too is mostly dominated by men; therefore women have a lower chance of creating solutions to climate change problems that affect them. The Project Deriving inspiration from the Northern Ugandan People's way of construction, where families construct their hats next to each other and using mad, I created a modern house with circles inter-connecting with each other from one space to another. The material and technique used for this sample house is rammed earth (same material that was used to construct the great wall of china, still standing strong) which is stronger, faster, cheaper and more aesthetically pleasing than concrete buildings. Concrete is the most commonly used material in cities yet the most destructive. As a material that creates the majority of the world's bridges, roads, dams, and construction, concrete releases an extreme amount CO2 each year, has a way shorter life span than rammed earth and cannot be recycles. It's the highest consumed product on earth besides water. Until the overall emissions are cut worldwide, the environment will continue to be polluted with over 4 billion tons of carbon dioxide annually due to this industry. Rammed earth walls are constructed by the compacting (ramming) of moistened subsoil into place between temporary formwork panels. When dried, the result is a dense, hard monolithic wall. A vernacular green building material as well as in more recent 'Eco houses', rammed earth is an ancient form of construction. There remain plentiful examples of the form around the world, evidence that rammed earth is a successful and durable way of building. A few historical rammed earth buildings are to be found in the UK. The green roof on the house has many benefits at economic, ecological and societal levels. A green roof provides ? a rainwater buffer ? purifies the air ? reduces the ambient temperature ? regulates the indoor temperature ? saves energy ? and encourages biodiversity in the city. Green roofs are part of climate-proof construction. Therefore; addressing climate change issues through building and construction will improve on the environment and peoples well-being thus women will be affected less or not at all by the effects of climate change.

Title TABU- FROM WASTE TO BEAUTY by NANDYOSE IDAH 
Description A pictorial collage of my mood board that shows fashion ideas made from wastes. From Images 01; these are photographs I took of poorly disposed off plastics and other wastes. Clearly disposed into the environment which is clearly an injustice to the climate. This is a common trait in the city of Uganda (reference to an area called Kisuggu-Makindye Division) and you will always find waste in every community. Some communities have their wastes disposed off along the road side even when the authorities have made several attempts to have these wastes collected. I was able to collect the plastics and made an outfit as seen in images 04 and 05. Images 04 & 05 show contemporary fashion work I made with plastics rebelliously worn by a model to create awareness about plastic pollution in my community whilst giving the model a bold and confident look. And image 05 is an interpretation of woman wearing an outfit made with plastics with an illustration of being held captive by the same people who were supposed to protect them. That is how being female feels like in a country like Uganda where several attempts have been made to find for gender equality. We are under the impression that a lot of impact has been made but deep down we all know that woman is still held captive and we are a long way from attaining this equality. Image 02 & 03 are an interpretation of the true beauty of a justified protected climate and a free woman; these images exhibit the beauty of up cycling wastes into other useful accessories i.e. I up cycled plastic lollipop sticks into Earrings that are seen boldly worn in image 03.

Title Tempted by Mining, Communities Fall 
Description This collage reflects on the consequences of mining expansion for local and Indigenous communities. The opening of mining operations often leads to the loss of customary land rights, forcing communities to leave the ancestral lands they have inhabited for generations. While mining promises development and prosperity, in reality, the benefits are often enjoyed by only a small group of powerful actors. Meanwhile, many local people face displacement, environmental damage, and the erosion of their livelihoods. I wanted to highlight this growing divide between communities and powerful economic interests and question the true cost of extractive development.

Title The Burnt Out End of a Rainy Day by Davina Philomena Kawuma 
Description GENERATE invited applicants to submit a piece of artistic work and an accompanying description that explains what inspired the work and how it interprets the theme of "Climate and Gender (In)Justice in the City" in the context of urban Uganda or Indonesia. 'The Burnt-out end of a Rainy Day' revolves around Yago, a young Ugandan rural-urban immigrant trying to make ends meet in Kampala: it follows her daily routine, how it is impacted by the flooding that follows close on the heels of a rainstorm. 'The Burnt-out end of a Rainy Day' responds to the theme of 'Climate and Gender (In)Justice in the City' by registering some of the ways in which an extreme weather event caused by climate change disproportionately affects women like Yago, and her neighbours, who rent one-bedroomed apartments in a tenement - women considered by popular imagination to be part of Kampala's 'poor, working class,' and therefore whose vulnerabilities to unfair employment practices, gendered violence, and exploitation are likely to aggravated by natural disasters that arise out of unnaturally irresponsible use of natural resources.

Title The Change of Your Town by Agaba Solomon Peabo 
Description Creative Collage. Earth was created with words, almost everything starts with the tongue and speech. Although climate change affects everybody, it is gender neutral. Too often women are primarily seen as victims of climate change and with the power of speech we can change the stereotype of what is happening. It starts with us, me, you.

Title The City We Must Save by Hangiriza Benedict 
Description A poem. "I have lived in Kampala for the last 6 years and I have seen how the effects of climate change coupled with poor planning by the leaders tasked with running the city have made it difficult to live in this City. Being the Capital city, all people can be found in this City with most of them leaving villages to make a better life in this hub of business. There's congestion in the city and plans to have all commuter taxis and motorcycles shift from the main city have never been implemented due to political reasons. The streets during rush hours are impassable. The streets are also occupied by street children; mainly those who fled their homes during the Civil war that ravaged the Northern part of Uganda. Roadside hawkers (mostly women) roam the streets for survival. The City is located around the central part of Uganda which receives heavy rainfall due to Lake Victoria and River Nile that are close by. Due to it's geography, it experiences flash floods and roads are always inaccessible and homes in the slums are inhabitable. Due to the high levels of unemployment, most children are forced to work in sand mines that are located in the suburbs. These sandmines collapse sometimes and lives are lost. Being a city of the poor, women are targeted by rapists and even killed. These Climate Change and Gender Injustices have plagued a city that has given away most of its green landscapes to foreign developers. The Agency responsible for Environment Protection has been described as "toothless" on many occasions because it has failed to execute it's mandate. And also little has been done by the Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development in ensuring that women are supported and protected in the city and across the Country. More ways have to be used to call for action and implement measures to remove all forms of Injustice against women. I have been involved in small campaigns as a student to call for justice for example justice for girls that were being sexually harassed by lecturers. I have also been involved in environment protection activities by planting trees and supporting the use of reusable paper bags across businesses. This is what I have done on a personal level and I hope through partnerships with other activists we can bring about behavioral changes in our communities in the city and the whole of Uganda."

Title The Lost Playground 
Description This collage wanted to tell the story of the disappearance of public spaces that once served as open gathering places for everyone. In the past, these spaces allowed people to come together regardless of gender, social class, income, occupation, or religion. Today, many of these lands have been privatised and transformed into spaces accessible only to certain groups. What was once shared by the community has become the territory of a privileged few. There is this growing sense of alienation of becoming strangers on our own land, within spaces now dominated by the wealthy and elites.

Title The Voice I Cannot Hear, but I Can Feel (Anonymous) 
Description The storm arrives without a sound, The sky roars, yet my ears remain silent. People scream, fear written on their faces, I read it only through trembling eyes and frantic steps. My island is beautiful, yet often wounded. Waters rise, the ground shakes, homes collapse without warning. There is no siren I can understand, Only flashes of light and the earth's vibrations give meaning. I stand in the midst of chaos, Feeling fear without knowing what is happening. I want to be safe like everyone else, But who will tell me where to go? I am Deaf, but I am also human. I can sense, I can understand. I read the world through my eyes and my heart, Not through sounds I have never been able to hear. I do not want to be pitied, I only want to be understood. Give us signs, light, and equal access, Because safety is a right for all humanity.

It was co-created between GENERATE and Puspita Bahari, a collective of fisherwomen in Coastal Demak, Indonesia. The book was developed based on research data collected by Andi Misbahul Pratiwi, a PhD student at the School of Geography, University of Leeds, who works on the GENERATE project. The writing team also included Masnu'ah of Puspita Bahari, and Katie McQuaid, PI of GENERATE. It was illustrated by Efi Sri Handayani. The research was conducted using feminist participatory action research and involved over 40 fisherwomen in three coastal villages. While the characters in this book are fictional, their stories and experiences are drawn from real lived experiences.

Impact This book raises the visibility of climate vulnerabilities and responses of fisherwomen in Indonesia. Often the most vulnerable in their communities, but also the most excluded from power and decision-making structures, this book sought to recognise and raise better understanding of the structures and practices that perpetuate gender-based inequalities that render certain minds and bodies more vulnerable to climate change, disasters and the wealth of poly-crises facing marginalised coastal communities. The book uses illustration and creative writing to make these stories and inequalities accessible and easy to understand, while also serving to celebrate the responses and adaptation actions of the fisherwomen's movement Puspita Bahari. It has become a significant advocacy tool for our community partner Puspita Bahari, who have used it to engage with local and regional policymakers aswell as global movements and meetings on coastal vulnerability and climate action.

Title To whatever happens man plays a role by Wasswa James 
Description To whatever happens man plays a role, the injustice nature shows to us is because we failed to do justice to nature in the first place, in the photograph it depicts flooding which comes along man putting up structures in not only wetlands like swamps but also blocking water channels with rubbish and sometimes those of which include plastics which block the water channels. So, floods happening in cities nature is showing us the injustice we have presented and it's the better time to act back by doing the needful like not only managing waste disposal but also look into how water has to freely move in times of rainy seasons without being blocked

Title Tragedy Before My Eyes 
Description This collage addresses mass tourism. Tourism in Central Lombok is often presented as a promise of development and prosperity. Yet in reality, only around 1% of local people are able to access or benefit meaningfully from it. For many communities, tourism has instead brought a series of tragedies: rising living costs, loss of land, environmental damage, and the gradual erosion of traditional livelihoods. This collage reflects on the unequal realities behind tourism development, where the benefits are concentrated among a small few while the burdens are carried by local communities. It invites viewers to question whose progress is being prioritised and who is left to bear the consequences.

Title Transformations by Nath Niyitegeka 
Description My art piece has different colors on in it, I will start with climate change and environmental issues. We have golden brown color with few plants, this means that if we become more Mother-Nature-friendly and plant trees even if at least one person can plant one later on our environment can be greener, I reflect on green color on top of brown. Once the environment is green we can face less problems and issues related to the climate change such us disasters. Behind the green color we see a dark color. That color is small, this means that most people do not give importance to the issue of climate change and do not take it as serious, however the longer they continue to have that mindset the longer the problem of climate change will continue. We shall keep facing serious problems of climate change, air pollution, diseases, and not only will people die because of this, but animals and the beauty of this world will disappear. The color of gold is big and represents technology. This world is moving very fast and it has a focus on technology which is good, but it should be at the same level as the protection of the environment, which can bring a positive impact upon impacting climate change. But unfortunately, there is often one focus today and it is upon technology. Today every country wants to have more factories. This has positives and negative consequences. I will give you an example from Kampala, Uganda. The factories there are good for giving people jobs, but they should not be where most people stay. The proximity between these factories and the location's where people live causes respiratory diseases; this can lead to people dying silently as they lack the financial means to prevent the negative consequences of living near these factories that pollute the areas around them. Another issue is that of automobiles, vehicles, and motorcycles. In Kampala, where I spent almost nine years before moving to the United States, many people are interested in owning a vehicle even when they don't own a house or have anywhere to park it. It is a problem of mindset because they think that it is a symbol of being rich. I have a fear that soon the number of vehicles will be larger than the number of people! This causes issues of air pollution now, and will make the situation worse in the future. Life in the city is not as good as it looks due to the large number of the population, vehicles, and factories. It is important that the problem of climate change and environmental challenges are given due importance and the authorities do something to prevent these consequences in the future. Gender: My art piece has three faces on it. The first person is in the mortar and you can see legs. The second one is in the blue color and the third one is in orange yellow and red, look at the left side of the art pieces. The one in mortar is related to traditional transitioning and African myth, when we were young people in the community use to make a bad joke that if you spend one night in mortar your sex will change. The following day, if you are a girl you would become a boy and if you are a boy you would become a girl. This is a serious problem that I think every transgender person has experienced in their childhood and many are still struggling with in their adulthood, especially in Africa. Some take it as a joke, while others try it, only to find that nothing happened! Others are still struggling to access surgeries and medication, but this is hard and sometimes impossible, especially in many countries in Africa. In Uganda there is a lot of homophobia and transphobia, with transgender people in particular targeted. So, people think that if they are whom they want to be and to "pass", they can reduce the many risks they face and find joy in being who they want to be. The problems of transphobia and homophobia are similar to the problem of climate change. Both are important issues which cause a lot of harm, we need to allow people to live in peace, protect the environment, and allow the world to become a more beautiful place.

Title Tumpah Harga by Christabel Annora Paramita Parung 
Description "'Tumpah Harga' is an audio-visual work consisting of instrumental music and pattern-illustration that tells how the fast-fashion industry is killing our 'mothers' - the women, and our Mother Earth. The vast majority of garment workers in Indonesia - about 99% - are women, and this portrays a stereotype that women are responsible for domestic duties. The condition gets worse when these women are abused in their workplace, harassed, threatened, and even get underpaid for long hours of work. Yet, they could not say anything. Same thing happened to our dear Mother Earth. The exploitation has been going on for so long that we start to normalize it. The excessive waste, water depletion, and pollution are all over the place. Through this illustration and instrumental piece, I tried to portray how our 'mothers' are exploited for those things we call "fashion trends" that might go obsolete in no time. Ironic. In the video, I put a major chord as an opening, just to show "a dress". A simple one. The repetitive tones express how this dress is adored by everyone - that type of dress that you must own in your wardrobe. And the mood suddenly changed when the illustration of what was behind that Rp 100k dress was shown. A minor- horror-like tune to represent how I feel reading about these nightmares.

Title Untitled 
Description This artwork (painting on traditional clay pottery from East Lombok) reflects on the central role of rice in everyday life. In the midst of a difficult and demanding struggle to survive, rice becomes a fundamental necessity, an essential food that sustains life. It is produced through the labour of farmers who cultivate the land, planting and caring for crops to meet society's most basic needs. In this work, rice also symbolises protection and a place of calm amid life's hardships. At the same time, the piece highlights the inequalities embedded in this system. While farmers are the ones who plant, nurture, and harvest the crops in the fields, they are often the ones who remain marginalised and oppressed. The work reflects on this imbalance, drawing attention to the struggles of small farmers whose labour sustains many, yet whose lives are frequently marked by injustice.

Description This mixed media wayang (puppet) portrays a bright and spirited figure with medium-brown skin and curly hair, dressed in white clothing and wearing a rainbow sash. The sash symbolises the tools the character carries in their journey: equality, skills, solidarity, innovation, and resilience. He represents queer and trans people, who are often viewed with prejudice, labeled as social outcasts, blamed for crises, subjected to bullying, rejected by families, or dismissed from employment. Through these experiences, he embodies the struggles of navigating identity, economic hardship, and moral judgment in the face of persistent stigma and discrimination. Despite these challenges, my puppet also represents strength: a community rich in human potential, innovation, and resilience. With determination and collective support, they strive for a future of equality in healthcare, social life, education, and the workplace. The puppet also symbolizes protection and solidarity for more hidden queer and trans communities, those living with HIV/AIDS.

Title Untitled 
Description Using the metaphor of a soursop fruit, this artwork (painting on traditional clay pottery from East Lombok) expresses the hope that governments, both local and national, can nurture and protect communities, especially those who remain marginalised. Just as a plate holds and supports food, the government is envisioned as a space that provides room and protection for people to speak, express themselves, and have their voices heard. This includes recognising and responding to the diverse needs of people with different forms of disabilities. The green colour of the leaves symbolises peace and well-being, representing a future where vulnerable communities and persons with disabilities can live with dignity, safety, and inclusion.

Title Untitled by Philip Peter Kairu 
Description Collage commissioned as part of the See Change exhibition. Currently on display at the Uganda Museum, in the See Change book, and part of the online exhibition. In the words of the artist: "Untitled" was a creative challenge that emerged from the impact of social media on the LGBTQ community. I set out to explore how individuals express their identities through pronouns and symbols, while also confronting significant difficulties and barriers to living openly and honestly. To celebrate the uniqueness of the LGBTQ community, I incorporated bright, colourful flowers and a thoughtfully crafted composition. I made multiple revisions and edits throughout the process, moving through areas where I knew I could access the colors of the rainbow. Drawing on the insightful observations of Diana Taremwa Karakire's article on the effects of climate change on the LGBTQ community, I aimed to create a visual representation of "who we really are." The withering petals and leaves also serve as a commentary on the inadequacy of current laws and policies that fail to safeguard and support this community.

Title Various Struggles, One Solidarity 
Description By Mashur Hadi, this mixed media sculpture focuses on the experiences of women in our creative workshops. In every Resep Keadilan Bencana workshop, there is always one word that emerges as both the solution and the vision for disaster justice shared by all communities: solidarity. Solidarity, even when the struggles and initiatives being carried out are different and highly diverse, many if not all of which we heard pioneered by women.

Title Walking Through a Shaken Lombok 
Description I did not lose my leg because of the earthquake, but I lost many things because of it. Each time the earth convulses, I clutch my prosthetic leg tightly - afraid I will not have time to run, afraid of being left behind for being slow. When disaster sirens wail, people run, while I think: which way should I flee when the roads are unwelcoming even on calm days? Floods arrive without warning, their waters rushing hard against this artificial limb, carrying panic and surrender at once. While others climb to higher ground, I stare at the stairs - one small obstacle that becomes a towering wall for me. I am someone who loves to learn, but I learn more often from reality: that Lombok is beautiful only for those who can move freely. For us who live with prosthetic legs, every step is an act of courage, every journey a struggle unseen. They say, "Be grateful you can still walk." And I am grateful, but my gratitude is also laced with pain - because on an island full of prayers, access remains a dream, and safety is still decided by how fast you can run. Yet I keep moving forward, walking cracked roads with a cold, heavy limb, because I know: disasters may destroy homes, but not my determination to keep standing on land that does not always stand with me.

Title West Lombok's Disaster Justice Vision 
Description By Musa Akbar, this digital artwork illustrates the inequalities that shape disaster vulnerability in West Lombok and Mataram. A tilted scale represents persistent gender discrimination, reflected in unequal social roles and wage disparities. The work also highlights the limited access to assistance for persons with disabilities, particularly during times of disaster when support systems often fail to reach those who need them most. A hospital symbolises the difficulties many communities face in accessing healthcare due to poor road infrastructure and limited services. Water flowing from a dam points to the unequal distribution of water resources, leaving communities around the Batujai Dam struggling to obtain sufficient supply. The sealed dam further represents the restricted access to public water services, where the Municipal Water Company's water is available only at certain hours. Meanwhile, a dry, withered tree symbolises drought affecting several areas, making it difficult for farmers to grow rice and other essential crops. Together, these elements reflect the overlapping social and environmental challenges that communities face, and the need for more equitable systems in disaster preparedness and recovery.

Title What on god's green Earth by Fajar Zakri 
Description The poem is abstract and laden with imagery for the very reason that I do, in fact, envision myself just being tossed off at sea when the time has come to depart from my flesh prison. So it dips in and out between that dreamy, fantastical setting and laser-sharp social critique. I love to provoke, whether in my work of art or just in my day-to-day life, and I think that's exactly what the poem does. I hope it makes people think; but more importantly, I hope it makes people do something, whether in their personal capacity or on a grander scale. Change is not just up to an individual or a government or or an institution or an organization - it's up to all of us.

Title When Water Comes by Firdhan Aria Wijaya 
Description "This collage work captures the life of a woman living in the suburbs of Bandung, Indonesia and her access to food. During every rainy season, floods are almost inevitable where she lives. But now that she got more acquainted with it, she no longer tries to beat the flood - she has befriended the flood. She watches the stream of waters falling from the sky as she waits for a change to come. The flood in her area has become a recurring horror as the result of complex collisions among numerous aspects, such as the housing development and the climate change, the failure of water management, and the way most people treat waste as if it's something that is entirely separated from their lives."

Title Where Is Our Water? (Mana Air Kami?) 
Description By Davi Dhiaul Haque, this Acrylic on bamboo winnowing basket highlights the gendered and generational impacts of water scarcity. In North Lombok, elderly women are considered useless and a burden; yet when drought occurs, they are the first to be expected and asked to fetch water from distant wells and to queue for water for hours. In Central Lombok, mothers and their daughters must wake up every night to wait for the municipal water supply (PDAM) to flow, never knowing exactly when it will come. When they ask their sons or husbands to do the same, the response is blunt: "That is women's work!" In the same district, water pipelines are designed to channel water to tourism hubs, luxury hotels, and toward the western areas, while even residents around Batu Jai struggle to access clean water. In East Lombok and West Lombok, farmers and community members spend around 1.5 million rupiah per month (more than half of the Mataram minimum wage) to purchase water.

Title Women and Water by Himbar Andriyani 
Description "Climate change has an impact on social change, also for women. For example, floods, droughts or reduced supplies of clean water. Housewives will find it difficult to run the wheels of their household life for cooking, washing dishes, washing clothes, drinking water supplies, etc. This work is a digital art photography in which I depict a housewife who is working to fulfill her household needs. Water plays a big role in completing the tasks of women as housewives. The hanging dried flowers symbolise the earth starting to dry up and lack of water supply if we do not take care of it properly"

Title Women are decks, bitches, streets, evil naughty, mistresses, women can only take care of the well, bed and kitchens! by Margaretta Novianty 
Description This collage addresses how climate change causes natural disasters that will exacerbate economic pressures in households. Women and children are the most disadvantaged parties. Psychologically, husbands who are burdened by economic pressure will make women as wives get physical, verbal, mental and even sexual violence. Women are lined up to be the first to be responsible for taking a quick action in a disaster. Taking care of children, taking care of the house and making a living are done at the same time. This conditions result in less time remaining for women to access training and skills development for them, in the end positioned women as powerless objects, against the powerful patriarchal culture of this country. (at the same time there is a fallacy belief) that women are decks, bitches, streets, streets, evil naughty, mistresses, obedience who can only take care of the well, bed and kitchens.

Title Your Happiness Is Momentary, My Suffering Is Forever 
Description This collage reflects the voices of local communities whose lives have been transformed by large-scale development. In the past, the land was vast and fertile. People farmed, harvested their crops, and sold them in local markets to sustain their livelihoods. Today, many developments, such as coastal resorts, towering buildings, and luxury facilities, promise progress but are enjoyed by only a small few. For many local residents, the space to live and move has become increasingly limited. Instead of prosperity, we are left with waste, pollution, and flooding. Please do not take away our right to live. Let us breathe clean air. Stop unchecked, massive development.

Description There are key emerging findings about the intersectional nature of climate change and disaster impacts in Uganda and Indonesia. These findings are still in the process of being analysed and published, and include how impacts, vulnerabilities and responses are shaped by gender, age, class and socio-economic status, disability, citizenship status and forced displacement, urbanisation, sexual orientation, poverty, broader systemic inequalities and so on. We have worked in seven cities, across one island, and one coastal region across the two countries, and co-developed innovative creative methodologies that combine social science and applied arts methods and techniques as tools for data collection, knowledge exchange and social transformation. By focusing on these key social variables we are building an evidence base of the particular vulnerabilities of often multiply marginalised communities often neglected in climate change discourses, and their different responses, epistemologies and knowledges that will be critical to co-developing effective and transformative climate actions that are directed towards climate, social and environmental justice(s). To date our findings have focused on women and girls, people with disabilities, sexual and gender diverse people, older people, Indigenous communities, refugees and asylum-seekers, informal workers, fisher- and coastal women, and people living in poverty. We are currently working on publications that advance our understanding of intersectional and inclusive climate and disaster justice. The use of local arts in our work not only helps to generate such inclusive and intersectional evidence but also co-produced creative outputs that are of mutual benefit to the project but also the communities themselves, leading to multiple impacts that we are in the process of documenting and evaluating. Our findings demonstrate the power of using arts in climate and disasters research, mobilising marginalised communities, increasing disaster risk reduction, and engaging policymakers with hard-to-reach communities. This in turn prioritises and promotes the voices and leadership of these communities, especially through creative events and public encounters we facilitate that bring policymakers and decision-makers together with marginalised communities so that these communities can lead the discussions and evidence not just their vulnerabilities but also their agency and creativity. In the process we can put into practice new ways of conducting and practicing research that is collaborative, ethical, equitable and decolonial.
Exploitation Route It is still in process so too early to say, but these outcomes are already being put into effect by communities and policymakers we engage with, as well as collaborators from the third sector, and also other researchers and students we engage with. Researchers across Indonesia and Uganda are embracing creative methodologies and the ethical use of applied arts, while policymakers are adopting our inclusive and intersectional methodologies in planning disaster and climate action. Local communities and publics report increased awareness of climate and disaster risks, new knowledge of disaster risk reduction, new solidarities, and transformations in attitudes and behaviour towards multiply marginalised people including people with disabilities, older people, and women.

Description There have been numerous impacts associated with this award, but they are ongoing and we are in the process of monitoring and evaluating these impacts and ensuring we collect supporting evidence. This is therefore a work in progress. At present these impacts can be categorised in a three key ways: i) impacts on participants: we work with vulnerable communities in Indonesia and Uganda, including refugees and asylum seekers, informal workers, LGBTQ+ people, people living with disability, women, youth, older people, and indigenous and ethnic minorities. We have engaged these communities in data collection that is shaped by applied arts and ethnographic methodologies. This has given people multiply marginalised both socio-culturally and economically, the opportunity to critically explore their vulnerabilities to a changing climate and urban life, to gather together across social and geographic boundaries, and learn how to use different mediums of art to express themselves. They report: increased levels of confidence, self-worth, social cohesion, new support networks, better links to support organisations and stakeholders including city governments, urban planners, and activists, new tools with which to advocate for their communities, new knowledge about anthropogenic climate change and environmental and climate justice movements, leadership and communication skills, new livelihood skills, and new creative skills. Many report increased visibility- for example, a group we have partnered with in Jakarta, a collective of transgender women, on a Trans Super Heroes for Climate project, have received new funding, been invited to numerous events and workshops by diverse stakeholders from the British Embassy to Extinction Rebellion to Local Government, are sharing their insights and data collected with local and national academics, and have engaged in new environmental programmes and livelihoods. ii) impacts on stakeholders. We are in the process of using arts-led outputs to engage stakeholders including government officials, civil society, academics, journalists etc on the need for an inclusive and intersectional approach to climate action. We are using forms of cultural heritage, comics, music, fine art, illustration, theatrical performance, photography, film, social media reels, painting, poetry, and creative writing as tools for telling frequently unheard climate stories. The stakeholders we have engaged thus far have reported changed opinions towards vulnerable groups, increased awareness of how impacts of climate change are shaped by disability, gender, age, poverty, sexuality and so on, increased awareness of the need to engage in community dialogue and listen to socio-economically marginalised groups, the importance of age as well as gender as a variable to consider, the value of arts as a tool for telling climate stories. iii) impacts on policy: we are currently working with city governments and planners in Uganda and Indonesia about how to incorporate our findings into their climate change policy, city plans, and long- and short-term development plans. We are in the middle of this work, but have built relationships with city officials and mayors/governors across six cities, and collaboratively identified several opportunities for feeding directly into new policy documents, as well as working in partnership to identify challenges to implementation.

PI Contribution UNS and the University of Leeds collaborated on the Kembali Bermimpi: Strengthening Riverside Resilience in Solo project in 2025-26. Implemented in Kampung Sewu, Surakarta (Solo), Central Java, the initiative responds to the increasing vulnerability of riverbank communities along the Bengawan Solo River to flooding and climate-related hazards, as well as to the gradual erosion of cultural, social, and intergenerational relationships with the river. My research team collaborated in research activities, public events, dialogues and workshops, co-design of creative outputs, and a public lecture.
Collaborator Contribution UNS hosted the public lecture, meetings to commemorate the signing of our MOA, and the time and resources for Dr. Andi Setiawan to lead and supervise the undergraduate design students and community and public engagement.
Impact Preliminary findings indicate that the initiative has contributed to renewed community awareness of the river's ecological and cultural significance, strengthened collective identity, and fostered a greater sense of ownership over both the river and the knowledge produced through the project. The co-design process resulting from our collaboration demonstrated the potential of citizen-led approaches to complement formal disaster risk reduction strategies, while the river festival functioned as a critical moment of public dissemination and the ethical return of knowledge to its original custodians. Overall, Kembali Bermimpi illustrates how participatory, culturally grounded, and creative approaches can play a significant role in building inclusive and context-sensitive pathways to climate resilience. The initiative contributes to the broader aims of the GENERATE programme by evidencing the value of gendered, generational, and community-based perspectives in urban climate adaptation, and by offering a replicable model for riverine cities in Indonesia and beyond.

The global climate emergency is a crisis of culture. While the impacts of climate change can be destructive of cultural heritage in both its material and non-material forms, they also illustrate a failure in cultural relations, highlighting our chronic inability to work together to address the emergency at a global level. With less than a week until the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, we call for the foregrounding of culture and creative responses in the fight against climate change.

Results and Impact The COP26 Universities Network is a growing group of more than 55 UK-based
universities working together to raise ambition for tangible outcomes from the UN
COP26 Climate Change Conference. The Network will create lasting partnerships
and legacies that reach beyond this single event.
The Network's mission is to ensure that the UK academic sector plays an active
role in delivering a successful COP26, getting all players on track to deliver a zerocarbon, resilient world. We aim to do so by easing access to evidence and
academic expertise for Governments, NGOs, and other actors and by taking
action ourselves.
As part of this work, six months prior to the COP26 meeting in November 2021,
the COP26 Universities Network is hosting a virtual conference - Climate Exp0 - to
showcase UK and international research on aspects of climate change and climate
mitigation in the run-up to COP26.
The conference is taking place virtually between the 17th and 21st May 2021. Each
day is dedicated to one of five conference themes: Green Recovery; Nature-based
Solutions; Mitigation Solutions; Adaptation and Resilience; and Finance. This session will explore the UK's ability to prepare and adapt for a secure, safe
and sustainable future. Session discussion will focus on the key challenges
around adaptation and resilience, exploring interdisclinary research needs and
ability to anticipate, adapt and respond to changes, natural or man-made, short
or long-term, local or global. UK prosperity depends on the smooth and
sustainable functioning of complex infrastructures: transport; communications
networks; water, energy and waste utilities.

Results and Impact A community training on climate-resilient food cultivation was conducted in Purworejo, Morodemak, and Timbulsloko villages. Following the site survey in December 2025, 100 plants and seedlings were distributed to support collective community gardens.
The training emphasized the importance of planting daily food crops in coastal areas to strengthen family and community food security, under the slogan: "Plant what we eat and eat what we plant." The activity began with a theoretical session, including instructions on making Local Microorganisms (MOL) as natural liquid fertilizer.
In the practical session, participants were guided in:
? Preparing MOL to improve soil fertility and accelerate plant growth as an alternative to expensive chemical fertilizers.
? Utilizing flood-deposited mud mixed with soil, organic matter, and MOL as a planting medium.
? Planting crops such as garlic, shallots, ginger, spring onions, and lemongrass.
Participants practiced each step under the guidance of facilitators and were encouraged to apply MOL and planting techniques at home. Follow-up monitoring and evaluation were planned to assess plant growth and the sustainability of the greening program.

Form Of Engagement Activity A formal working group, expert panel or dialogue

Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact In collaboration with Universities Sebelas Maret, the co-design of the Bengawan Solo river greenbelt constituted a central spatial intervention within the Kembali Bermimpi project, addressing the relationship between flood management, public space, and everyday community life. The riverbank greenbelt is formally designated as a water retention area, allowing seasonal inundation during the rainy period. Permanent structures are prohibited,
and the primary function of the area is to support flood mitigation. Despite its strategic ecological role, the greenbelt area in Kampung Sewu is currently underutilised and poorly managed, resulting in neglect and limited social use. Community consultations revealed that residents perceived the area as having significant potential to function as a public space that could enhance social
interaction, cultural expression, and local livelihoods, provided that its flood-control function was respected.

In response, the research team initiated a co-design workshop that positioned residents as co-designers of the greenbelt space. Rather than proposing predefined design solutions, the workshop created a platform for residents to articulate needs, priorities, and aspirations, with the research team and students acting as facilitators and visual translators.

The workshop was conducted on 22 May 2025 at the community pendapa and lasted approximately three hours. Participants included around 40 residents representing three neighbourhood blocks (RW), with balanced participation across gender and age groups (approximately 20-60 years old). Participants represented diverse community groups, including youth, women, and men, ensuring that multiple perspectives were incorporated. Throughout the workshop, residents demonstrated high levels of enthusiasm and engagement. Students supported the process by helping participants visualise ideas through live sketching and diagramming, enabling residents to see their proposals translated into tangible design representations in real time.

The workshop resulted in three key community-generated design proposals:
1. A goat shelter (kandang kambing) intended to support small-scale livestock activities and provide economic value for residents, while being adaptable to seasonal flooding.
2. A monument marking a historical river crossing and harbour area, highlighting Kampung Sewu's river-based cultural heritage and serving as a landmark for collective memory.
3. A playground and volleyball court, designed as flexible social spaces to strengthen community interaction and social cohesion.
These proposals collectively reflect a balance between economic resilience, cultural continuity, and social wellbeing, demonstrating residents' capacity to integrate multiple values within flood-sensitive spatial design.
As a final output, students developed animated visualisations of the proposed greenbelt designs, translating community concepts into coherent spatial scenarios.
These visualisations function as both a communication tool for wider public and policy engagement and as a tangible representation of community knowledge and aspirations.

Findings from this activity indicate that co-design processes can effectively transform underutilised flood-prone spaces into collectively imagined public assets without undermining their ecological function. By positioning residents as codesigners, the workshop strengthened community ownership of both the design outcomes and the broader research process, reinforcing

Results and Impact The Festival Lepen Kampung Sewu 2025 marked the culmination of the Kembali Bermimpi research activities, functioning as both a public dissemination platform and a collective community celebration. The term "lepen", meaning river in the Javanese language, was deliberately chosen to emphasise local cultural identity and to symbolically re-centre the river within community life.
Rather than being framed as a research-led exhibition, the festival was conceived as a community-owned event celebrating the participatory processes undertaken throughout the project. Festival planning was conducted collaboratively, with residents actively involved as members of the organising committee. Community participants contributed to the design of the programme, scheduling, spatial layout, and decorative elements, reinforcing the sense that the festival belonged to the community rather than external institutions.
The festival took place on Sunday, 26 October 2025 at the community pendapa complex and ran for a full day, from 12:00 to 21:00. The event was formally opened by the Head of Sewu Village, signalling local government recognition of the initiative and its relevance to community development and river management.
The programme featured a diverse range of activities that reflected the breadth of the research process. These included:
1. An exhibition of research outputs such as comics, illustrated books, and 3D animated visualisations developed through workshops with residents and students;
2. Presentations of workshop outcomes jointly delivered by community members and students;
3. Public screening of the "Apem Sewu" documentary film;
4. Performances by local children, highlighting youth engagement and cultural continuity;
5. Community-run food stalls, supporting local micro-economies;
6. A live mural created by students with a river and festival theme, alongside participatory mural activities involving local children.
The festival attracted a wide audience, including residents from riverbank neighbourhoods, invited representatives from village government, university partners, and stakeholders involved in river management. Observations indicated strong community enthusiasm, reflected in high attendance, extended engagement throughout the day, and the festive atmosphere of the event

Results and Impact A series of capacity-strengthening workshops and training activities to promote and build capacity to advocate for and support the human rights and advocacy for transwomen and minority groups living in Jakarta, Indonesia. Facilitators provided training for transgender women - many of whom are living in poverty and face extreme vulnerability and socio-economic marginalisation - on environmentally sustainable livelihoods including ecoenzyme production and queer ecology. Participants are now engaging in eco-enzyme production and using this as a livelihood, as well as to lead environmental and civic campaigns in their neighbourhoods. They report being invited to share their skills, and lower levels of stigma and social marginalisation in their immediate neighbourhoods. They report greater knowledge about the language of human rights and ability to engage with stakeholders and seek funding for their activism and social justice work.

Description Gender Jeopardy: A Game of Trans Resilience Board game Launch Event 
Form Of Engagement Activity Participation in an activity, workshop or similar

Geographic Reach Regional
Primary Audience Third sector organisations
Results and Impact A launch event, in partnership with Sanggar Seroja, and 10 civil society organisations, to launch our new board game 'Gender Jeopardy: A Game of Trans Resilience' at Better World in Jakarta on 16 August. We invited civil society organisations (focused on a blend of gender equality, women's rights, LGBTQ+ advocacy and rights, as well as climate and environmental organisations including Greenpeace and Extinction Rebellion) as well as local leaders, political administrators and religious leaders and organisations to play the game in small groups with transgender women so as to blend individual play and the luck of the game with real-life storytelling and sharing of experiences and memories. Better World was chosen as it represents a safe space for all people to collect and meet, and we have held previous events for transgender communities there. Once the game was introduced and there were opening presentations from Sanggar Seroja and Katie McQuaid, small groups played the game, and then recorded their responses (a film of the event is currently in production). We also captured 'promises' of how players could take what they had learnt, their new understandings and attitudes, and apply these to their work and future actions; which we will be following up on in the next 3-6 months. Many organisations took copies of the game to play at their organisations and we are currently exploring new collaborations with organisations who wish to host events in which the game will be played to promote social inclusion and gender equality and justice.
Quotes from people who played the game at Better World:

"We feel we related to transwomen's lives when playing this game. At the beginning my goal was just to earn money as much as I could, but then my expectation changed during playing to just wanting to survive. As long as I am not dead".

"It really built my empathy. When I played I wanted to help all the others"

"I found it very related to social life. The rich always survive but the poor are always on the verge. It was very related to our daily life."

"When I play it's like you wish you could get a good fate, but it's hard to get a good fate, especially if you are the marginalised group".

"The majority gender should play so they can build empathy, it should be played and spread more".

"I agree it does relate to transwomen's lives, it is indeed the real life experience of transwomen".

"I think this game is very reflective, I became aware of how climate change affects transwomen's lives, cis people can understand things that could happen to transwomen but that would never be experienced by cis people".

"I think the majority, especially cis males need to play this game. They migh be educated through this game. So I highly recommend this game to be disseminated further. It is a very entertaining game, but also sad because I never won. I really hope this game to be educational tools for majority people".

"I was raised by a transgender woman, and I have never felt so represented. It was really powerful to play this and I now understand what my mother and the women she knew were going through and what they were overcoming everyday when she chose to raise me."

We invited local leaders, political administrators and religious leaders and organisations to play the game in small groups with transgender women and other members of the local community so as to blend individual play and the luck of the game with real-life storytelling and sharing of experiences and memories. This event coincided with National Day, and for the first time, as a result of the increased visibility and environmental leadership of trans women in Kampung Duri, our collaborators Sanggar Seroja, were invited to attend the flag-raising ceremony in their full regional dress. After the parade, local leaders (government and religious) were invited to come and play Gender Jeopardy. Local communities were also included, and there was a performance for local children. The local communities and leaders reported increased understanding of the multiple burdens and challenges facing transgender women, women in general, and other marginalised groups, but also the importance of listening to these communities directly, and their creativity and leadership in responding to these challenges. There was significant interest in buying the game, playing again, and how to build stronger links with the transgender community.

We also captured 'promises' of how players could take what they had learnt, their new understandings and attitudes, and apply these to their work and future actions; which we will be following up on in the next 3-6 months.

Results and Impact On the 9th August we facilitated an online workshop on the theme: Intersectionality and Climate Justice in Eastern Africa. This full day workshop had three panels comprising 14 presentations and 17 authors, with a keynote from renowned activist Ineza Umuhoza Grace from The Green Protector. It was co-organised with Elvin Nyukuri of the University of Nairobi and Susan Nanduddu of African Centre for Trade and Development, in partnership with the Leeds University Centre for African Studies. This workshop aimed to explore in more depth an intersectional approach to climate justice and climate action issues across Eastern Africa. Eastern Africa is experiencing the climate crisis more acutely than most places on the planet. From increasing dry seasons, heatwaves, drought, and food insecurity, to flooding and mudslides, for countries across the region, climate change is an issue of today not of tomorrow. With the majority of countries in the region characterised as 'low income', they are less financially able to mitigate or adapt to climate shocks and slow onset changes. High (and growing) rates of poverty, gender inequality, unemployment, and health disparities serve to ensure climate change impacts are inequitably experienced. A focus on Eastern Africa thus provides an important and timely opportunity to look at the lived realities of the climate crisis today, offering a key place to learn from and explore questions and issues relating to the inherent structural inequalities of climate change and claims for a 'right to development', as well as efforts to curb environmental catastrophe and level the global playing field. This includes questions of loss and damage, social and disaster justice, growing environmental social movements, green(er) urbanism, social inclusion and equity, and the formation, adoption, and implementation of new national climate change legislation.

This workshop generated significant interest and brought together a new community of practice bringing activists and researchers and practitioners from across the region. It has led to two edited books which are currently under review with two different publishers.

Primary Audience Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact On the 25th April 2024 we launched our Kayuh Baimbai: Disability-Inclusive Disaster Preparedness Toolkit and Halin ai.. Bamban Kada Babuah comic. The comic explores the diverse impacts of urban flooding on communities including women, older people, people with disabilities, and informal workers including bin pickers and food and market vendors. The toolkit provides practical strategies for an inclusive approach to disaster preparedness that centres people with disabilities. Kayuh Baimbai is a pioneering collaborative initiative that is strengthening disaster preparedness and promoting the leadership and inclusion of people with diffabilities in climate action in the city of Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
Kayuh Baimbai is co-led by Slamet Triyadi of the Indonesia Disabled People's Association (PPDI) and Barniah of the Indonesia Disabled Women's Association (HWDI) - both themselves people with diffabilities. The active leadership and participation of people with diffabilities is leading to more inclusive practices and consideration of accessibility in urban planning and emergency response strategies. These innovations leverage local knowledge and resources to create practical solutions that enhance daily living for people with diffabilities.
We adopt here the term difabel (differently-abled), which was derived by Mansour Fakih and Setiadi Purwanta in Indonesia to critique the term disabilitas (disability), which perpetuates and re-produces the marginalisation of people with disabilities and fails to recognise (or normalise) the diversity of abilities.
Kayuh Baimbai has been proactive in advising and influencing local government policies and creating opportunities for people with diffabilities to be heard and involved in decision-making in Banjarmasin.
We have recruited, trained and mentored 15 Diffability Liaison Officers (DLOs) from across Banjarmasin's districts. Our Diffability Liaison Officers now act as a crucial link between people with diffabilities and various community and government stakeholders. Recruited from different districts, they are uniquely positioned to understand local issues, act as advocates within their communities, and act as a main contact in their area between people with diffabilities and emergency responders/local governments, particularly in times of disaster.
Our Diffability Liaison Officers have led on co-designing initiatives including a baseline survey of 275 villages to collect the city's first data on people with diffabilities, and community-led support networks and accessibility projects. Diffability Liaison Officers are conducting extensive mobilisation campaigns in local schools and universities, which is pivotal in building awareness among students and educators of both disaster preparedness and inclusivity.
Our engagement with emergency responders including the Fire Brigade Department (Damkar) and Regional Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) has led to the co-development of new protocols that address the specific needs of people with diffabilities before and during disasters. This not only enhances safety for people with diffabilities but also raises overall community awareness about the importance of inclusive disaster and emergency responses. Our activities are increasing the visibility of people with diffabilities and helping emergency responders to map the locations of people with diffabilities to aid evacuation.
The visibility of Diffability Liaison Officers and their activities are playing a significant role in changing community and government attitudes and behaviours towards people with diffabilities, cultivating a community that values diversity and inclusion and ensuring that inclusivity remains at the forefront of community and governmental priorities.
On 25th April 2024 we launched our Diffability-Inclusive Disaster Preparedness Toolkit in collaboration with PPDI, HWDI, the Banjarmasin City Government and Antasari Islamic State University.

This session was the first of a series of forums for DLOs to communicate the discrimination and obstacles they face in daily life and especially during disasters, as well as their living conditions and different types of disabilities based on the results of a survey we conducted with the DLOs- these represent the first official city-wide data on disabilities in Banjarmasin. The workshop then provided an opportunity for all parties involved to communicate about things that have been obstacles and how all parties can work together to provide support and assistance to people with disabilities, especially when disasters occur. These will be followed up with further stakeholder workshops in April 2024.

Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact In collaboration with Universities Sebelas Maret, one of the key research activities undertaken in the Kembali Bermimpi project was the reconstruction and documentation of the Apem Sewu ritual, a traditional practice rooted in the cultural life of Kampung Sewu. Historically, Apem Sewu functioned as a collective offering to the river, expressing gratitude while also seeking protection from disasters and the assurance of prosperity. The ritual reflects a cosmological understanding in which the river is perceived not merely as a physical resource, but as an active agent shaping community life. The reconstructed ritual took place on 10 July 2025 and was designed as a community-led process, facilitated by the research team. The sequence of activities followed locally recognised ritual stages, beginning with the collective preparation of
apem (traditional rice cakes) in Pendapa Kelurahan Sewu, followed by a kirap apem (procession), a communal prayer at the riverbank, the sharing and consumption of the apem among residents, and the symbolic release of floral offerings (sesajen) into the Bengawan Solo River. Participants included women, men, elders, and local community leaders, reflecting broad intergenerational and gender-inclusive involvement. The high level of community participation demonstrated strong local enthusiasm for reviving the ritual, particularly among older residents who viewed the activity as an important
reaffirmation of collective identity, and younger residents who encountered the ritual as a meaningful reintroduction to local heritage.

Community responses indicated a strong sense of appreciation that the ritual was being documented and preserved. Several residents expressed pride and satisfaction that Apem Sewu, which had gradually faded from everyday practice, was recognised as valuable cultural knowledge rather than treated as obsolete tradition. The act of documentation itself was perceived by participants as an affirmation of their lived experience and cultural memory. Students involved in the activity reported that participation in the ritual offered a profound learning experience. Many described being struck by how cultural practices encode environmental awareness and collective responsibility in ways that differ from formal disaster education. Observing and supporting the ritual enabled students to
understand resilience not only as a technical or infrastructural issue, but as a cultural and relational process embedded in everyday life.

Drawing on over six years of engagement in one Ugandan city, it asks how intergenerational creative practice can be used to simultaneously build new solidarities and disrupt norms that perpetuate deeply embedded inequalities. Set against the unfolding climate crisis, the final section looks to the future and the role of intergenerational research in building inclusive and resilient communities.

Results and Impact In this workshop representatives from ten organisations working with gay, bi-sexual queer men, and other men who have sex with men, came together to discuss LGBTQ+ experiences of, and vulnerabilities to, climate change and environmental challenges. The workshop began the work of establishing an evidence-base on LGBTQ+ experiences of, and vulnerabilities to, climate change and how climate change in urban and rural settings has impacts that are differently experienced based on intersections of gender, age, sexuality, class and so on. The workshop also focused on actions and future plans for developing gender-transformative and socially just climate actions. 6 more workshops will be conducted with representatives of other communities within the LGBTQ+ population, and will culminate in an LGBTQ+ Environmental and Climate Justice conference. This will be the first of its kind globally, but especially within this region. All participants of this workshop were passionate about engaging in queering environmental and climate justice and incorporating this within their programming.

Description Reconstruction of a Shipyard Memory Site in Solo, Central Java 
Form Of Engagement Activity Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme? No
Geographic Reach Local
Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact The reconstruction of a shipyard memory site focused on recovering and reactivating river-based cultural heritage associated with traditional boat production (perahu) in Kampung Sewu. Historically, Kampung Sewu was a significant river port along the Bengawan Solo, where boat production supported active inland trade networks. Traces of this activity can be found in ancient inscriptions dating back to the Majapahit era, indicating the long-standing importance of river-based transport and craftsmanship in the area. Although boat production in Kampung Sewu ceased in the 1990s, its cultural and economic significance remains embedded in community memory.
This activity sought to document and reinterpret this largely forgotten river culture by foregrounding lived experiences of those who directly participated in, or witnessed, the boat-building process. Rather than attempting a physical reconstruction of the shipyard, the project focused on memory reconstruction as a form of cultural mapping, recognising storytelling and material recollection as critical components of intangible heritage.
The activity took place on 23 May 2025 at the community pendapa in Kampung Sewu and was structured as a storytelling session involving four elderly community members who had been actively engaged in, or closely connected to, traditional boat production. All students and members of the research team participated as listeners and co-documenters.

A key outcome of this activity was the transformation of the collected stories into a comic themed around the Kampung Sewu shipyard. Students took a leading role in developing the narrative script and visual characters, drawing directly from the storytelling sessions. The comic format was deliberately chosen as an accessible and engaging medium for disseminating historical knowledge to contemporary audiences, particularly younger generations who have limited exposure to riverbased heritage.
Notably, the comic development process remained participatory beyond the initial storytelling stage. Draft versions of the comic were shared with the original narrators and other community members, who provided feedback, corrections, and additional details. This iterative exchange reinforced community ownership over the representation of their histories and ensured cultural accuracy.

We emphasise the media role to educate public regarding climate change and its uneven impact to people and the community, at the same time we also criticise scholars's language regarding climate change which often uses words or terms that is hard to digest by the public. Thus media and scholars should work together to deliver information that can be easily understood by the public.

Description Revitalisation of the "Empu" Mud Ball Game: An Intergenerational Event in Solo, Central Java 
Form Of Engagement Activity Participation in an activity, workshop or similar
Part Of Official Scheme? No
Geographic Reach Local
Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact The revitalisation of the Empu mud ball game constituted a key intergenerational activity within the Kembali Bermimpi project, aimed at reintroducing children to riverbased
play as a means of reconnecting younger generations with the Bengawan Solo River. Empu is a traditional children's game historically found only along the riverbanks of Kampung Sewu, reflecting a close relationship between children's everyday play, the physical properties of the river, and local environmental knowledge. The game involves crafting balls from river mud using manual techniques,
primarily through hand compression and, in some cases, reinforcing the structure with ash from burned rice straw. The balls are then raced down sloping riverbanks, followed by a strength contest in which balls are struck against one another. The last intact ball is declared the winner. Beyond play, Empu historically functioned as a form of embodied learning, teaching children about the texture of river mud, water flow, gravity, and material resistance. Due to changes in children's play cultures and the transformation of riverbank environments, Empu is no longer familiar to most children in Kampung Sewu. The workshop therefore aimed to revive the game as a culturally grounded, playful, and environmentally embedded form of engagement, fostering a more reciprocal
relationship between children and the river. The activity took place on 11 July 2025 at the community pendapa (hall) and was structured as an intergenerational workshop involving approximately 20 children aged 6-12 years and three adult community members who retained knowledge of the game's techniques and rules. These adult participants acted as instructors, demonstrating how to select and prepare river mud, shape the balls, and explain the logic of the race and strength tests. From a pedagogical perspective, the workshop created a dynamic space for
intergenerational learning. Older participants expressed satisfaction in being able to pass on knowledge that had previously been taken for granted but was now at risk of disappearing. For the children, the activity offered an alternative form of play that contrasted sharply with screen-based entertainment, enabling direct sensory interaction with the river environment.
