Disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in Indonesia: institutional challenges and opportunities for integration

This paper examines how past experiences in implementing disaster risk reduction (DRR) activities can be harnessed to conceptualise effective and appropriate climate change adaptation (CCA) programs in Indonesia. It proposes a conceptual framework for integrating DRR and CCA in managing climate-related risks and explain the need for joint implementation and community-based initiatives. The study was conducted through a review and analysis of academic, government and non-government literature to determine the Indonesian experience in integrating DRR and CCA.
