Unhas Rector Professor Jamaluddin Jompa said the cooperation would be\nreplicated in a number of districts and cities in South Sulawesi. \u201cThis\nis an outstanding collaboration. For Unhas, it is about using research\nto produce practical solutions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said the visit offered a direct view of efforts to turn waste into\nsomething useful, adding that climate action must deliver immediate\nbenefits not only for the environment but also for the economy and\npeople\u2019s social welfare.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe collaboration is not limited to waste management; it also covers\nthe development of the Alope chicken, a source of national pride and a\nsymbol of a local economy based on local natural resources,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
