Project Completed

Under Implementation

Indonesia’s West Kalimantan Province faces critical climate hazards such as deforestation, forest degradation, rising temperatures, floods, and droughts. These hazards particularly affect the province’s peatland ecosystems, which store large amounts of carbon but are highly vulnerable to fire and degradation. Local communities, reliant on natural resources, lack resilience mechanisms, especially regarding forest management and agricultural practices.

The project aims to empower local communities through sustainable forest management and climate-resilient agricultural practices, focusing on five key regencies in West Kalimantan: Kapuas Hulu, Ketapang, Kubu Raya, Sanggau, and Sintang. It also aims to implement various institutional, technical, and financial interventions that enhance land use governance, increase community participation, and create sustainable economic opportunities. This includes dedicated financing mechanisms for Indigenous Peoples and local communities.

The permanent changes in the country will involve institutional reforms that improve livelihoods, protect ecosystems, and strengthen sustainable land management by integrating climate resilience into development plans, empowering local communities, and establishing sustainable commodity supply chains that foster low-emission and climate-resilient agricultural practices.

An aim to achieve a quantifiable outcome within a given time-frame, set by an institution such as a national government.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.

People who are less able to respond to the effects of climate change due to having limited financial or physical assets

Slow onset events evolve gradually from incremental changes over many years or from increased frequency or intensity of recurring events. As defined in the Cancun Adaptation Framework (2010), slow onset events include risks and impacts from rising temperatures, desertification, biodiversity loss, land and forest degradation, glacial retreat, ocean acidification, sea level rise, and salinization.

Activities that involve the cultivation of crops and raising of livestock for food, fibre, and other products essential for human life and industry.

Social protection systems consist of policies that help people manage social risks in order to prevent poverty and maintain decent incomes and living standards

Activities that involve planning, designing and building infrastructure, residential, and commercial structures.

Conditions that enhance the feasibility of adaptation options. Enabling conditions include finance, technological innovation, strengthening policy instruments, institutional capacity, multi-level governance and changes in human behaviour and lifestyles.
