Climate Village as an Adaptation to Enhance Disaster Resilience: Case Study of Balikpapan City, Buffer Area of New Capital City (Indonesia)

Comprehensive measures like climate change policies, legislation, strategies, and programs have been developed by Indonesia’s government (GoI) to support adaptation and mitigation of climate change impacts (Net et al., 2019; Tacconi & Muttaqin, 2019). The government aims to reduce climate change impacts through land use planning, energy conservation, sustainable waste management, and clean and renewable energy sources.

Unfortunately, the government cannot stand alone to tackle climate change impacts in the current era of global governance; instead, expanding the collaboration is highly required. Communities at the local level must be included in the planning process to implement disaster preparedness and response strategies.

The Government of Indonesia (GoI) launched a ground-breaking project in 2012 through the Ministry of Environment and Forestry(MoEF), known as Climate Village to raise public awareness of climate change and its impacts on Indonesia, strengthen community resilience, and promote a low-carbon lifestyle.

This research aims to understand and measure the current condition of the local community to adapt to climate change through the Climate Village program.
