Landslides are one of the natural disasters with significant impacts on human lives, infrastructure, and the environment. To mitigate the risks and damages caused by these disasters, it is crucial to map areas prone to landslides, a process known as landslide susceptibility mapping. However, the methods used in this mapping often vary, and there has been no standard dataset that allows for the comparison of the effectiveness of these methods. Through international collaboration involving 23 institutions from 12 countries, this research has successfully developed the first benchmark dataset for studies in this field. ...

Global climate change is increasingly worsening the conditions in the agricultural sector in many countries, including Indonesia. Unpredictable weather patterns—such as floods, droughts, and storms—often lead to crop failure, directly affecting food security. In facing this challenge, agricultural insurance has become a critical solution, especially for smallholder farmers who are most vulnerable to these risks. This innovation plays a significant role in protecting farmers from losses caused by natural factors while also supporting the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger). ...
