Denpasar – The Center for Public Health Innovation (CPHI), Udayana University, held the consortium meeting “Regional Findings Presentation and Sharing” on 17–18 September 2026 at the Postgraduate Building of Udayana University, Bali. The meeting was part of the research project “Relational Wellbeing (RWB) to Bolster Climate Resilience in Indonesian Youth,” which focuses on understanding relational wellbeing and youth resilience in the face of climate change.

The meeting brought together RWB teams from Udayana University, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Institut Teknologi Bandung, SPEAK Indonesia, and Kolaborasi Bumi Indonesia. Participants shared findings, experiences, and lessons learned from the implementation of Participatory Action Research (PAR) across different locations as part of a collaborative process to build a shared understanding of the research findings.

Prior to the meeting, each city team had prepared key themes identified during the research process in the form of sticky notes. During the joint sessions, findings from Denpasar, Yogyakarta, and Jakarta were mapped and grouped to identify connections, similarities, differences, and patterns across locations. This process helped the consortium explore how young people’s experiences in responding to climate change relate to different dimensions of Relational Wellbeing.

The meeting went beyond presenting findings from each research site. Through reflection, collective sense-making, and co-design, participants collaboratively interpreted and connected findings to develop a cross-regional synthesis. The process also included discussions on the scope of a qualitative study manuscript and the development of the next phase of the research.

The consortium subsequently discussed the quantitative study framework, priority themes, and indicators that could be used to further explore the findings generated through the PAR process. In this way, the qualitative findings from individual locations serve as a foundation for developing a research framework capable of capturing young people’s experiences within a broader context.

Through this collaborative process, the consortium seeks to develop a more comprehensive understanding of how personal, social, and environmental factors interact in shaping young people’s wellbeing and their capacity to respond to the impacts of climate change. Differences in social, cultural, and environmental contexts across locations are an important part of understanding the diversity of young people’s experiences and adaptation strategies.

The findings from the Regional Findings Presentation and Sharing meeting will serve as a foundation for further research that is increasingly contextual, participatory, and grounded in young people’s experiences and perspectives. Through collaboration across institutions and regions, the RWB research aims to contribute to a stronger understanding of the relationship between relational wellbeing and climate resilience among Indonesian youth.
