ndonesia’s coastal area is exposed to natural hazards while home to highly vulnerable communities. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) are needed to reduce the effects of climate change on coastal communities and enhance their resilience against future disasters. Combining CCA-DRR governance with community-led initiatives has been proven by many scholars to be effective in strengthening coastal communities’ resilience compared to top-down CCA-DRR programs. Community-led initiatives are also mentioned in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015-2030 as vital in understanding and addressing risk. This policy brief elaborates a series of recommendations on implementing community-led CCA-DRR to improve resilience in Indonesia’s coastal communities.
