Indonesia aims to reduce the vulnerability of its economy
and community to adverse impacts of climate change that are already occurring.
At the same time, Indonesia intends to prepare its national and local
institutions, as well as vulnerable communities, for the possible future
impacts of climate change. These preparations will include measures to increase
adaptive capacity through improved planning, enhance resource management, and
expand coordination to deal with inter-sectoral and cross-cutting issues.
Indonesia has established the Indonesia Climate Change
Sectoral Roadmap (ICCSR 2010 - 2030) ) to set its national goals, sectoral
targets, milestones and priorities for actions with regards to adaptation and
mitigation of climate change for all affected sectors of the economy.
To deal with and to minimize the impact of climate change,
Indonesia shall concentrateon activities based on following strategies :
1.

ecosystem and community’s livelihood

facilitate smart adaptation efforts made by the community.
5.
To develop and use technology to support the adaptation efforts and to improve
community’s sustainability in dealing with climate change impacts, especially
in order to increase food sustainability and health quality.
6.

the climate change.
Next,
the priority of adaptation activity in each sector is determined in the context
of facing the challenge, risk and vulnerability which is unique and distinct in
each sector. The priority of adaptation activity in the sector of marine and
fishery, health, agriculture, water resources and climate related disaster
management is elaborated as follows:
