IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE FOR URBAN RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE: A CASE STUDY IN BALI

Abstract

Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, requiring cities to strengthen urban resilience through sustainable approaches. Green infrastructure offers a strategic solution by integrating ecological elements into urban planning, reducing disaster risks, and improving environmental quality. This study explores the implementation of green infrastructure in Bali, a region vulnerable to climate change, and the role of universities in supporting these initiatives through research, education, and community engagement. Using a case study approach, the research finds that collaboration between government, academia, and the community is key to success. Despite challenges like budget constraints and low public awareness, the results show that green infrastructure significantly enhances urban resilience in Bali. The study highlights the need for supportive policies and more intensive educational programs to ensure the future sustainability of these initiatives
