and mantanng the envronment have not yet become the prncple of development.
To ntegrate the trple track strateges, whch are pro-poor, pro-job and pro growth wth sustanable development prncples, the communty
should receved necessary nformaton and be actvely nvolved. In ths way communty wllngness to accept change becomes a very mportant aspect
that should be consdered. In addton, an ntegrated development pattern to delver sustanable development should be devsed.
2.2 The Objective of National Development with the Climate Change Anticipation Agenda
2.2.1 Mitigation Agenda
Management of the economc performance and qualty of lfe of the people should be strongly lnked to the reducton of greenhouse gas emssons and
reduced energy ntensty of economc growth, to be consstent wth Indonesa’s commtment to global efforts to tackle clmate change. Mtgaton targets
wll reman dficult to acheve as long as the barrers to the achevement of wellbeng and socal securty, and the mantenance of sustanable natural
servces are also not reduced. The extenson of deforestaton and land degradaton partcularly n the last decade s an expensve lesson n the falure
of economc management based only on the three fundamental prncples above.
At the level of socal lvelhoods, mtgaton and adaptaton objectves wll nteract wth publc atttudes. The promoton of atttudes and lfe-style
patterns whch are consstent wth the mpact of clmate change should therefore be developed n a systematc and planned way
The strategy to delver mtgaton targets n the prorty economc sectors

should therefore be formulated not only to take nto account each sector on ts own, but also to consder a broader framework ncludng human
wellbeng, productvty and the sustanablty of natural servces. Although ths approach s not prmarly drven by Indonesa’s commtment under the
Namely energy which includes industry, power plant, transportation, as well as domestic and commercial energy use, forestry, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors

UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol, t nonetheless s a part of the strategy of natonal development that also plays a role to ensure the achevement of clmate
change mtgaton targets.
2.2.2 Adaptation Agenda
Adaptaton to clmate change s a key aspect of the natonal development agenda, n order to acheve development patterns that are reslent to the
mpacts of current and future clmate change. The long term objectves of the clmate change adaptaton agenda s the ntegraton of clmate change
adaptaton nto natonal development plans.
Today, Indonesa s already vulnerable to the rsk of natural dsaster such as loodng, landslde, eroson, tropcal storms and drought, and n the future t
wll have greater rsks because of clmate change. If concrete acton s not taken mmedately, then the Mllennum Development Goals related to
poverty, hunger and health wll be dficult to acheve. Even those target that have been acheved over past decades wll also be threatened.
Therefore the clmate change adaptaton agenda should be mplemented through a sustanable development framework that ntegrates economc,
socal and ecologcal aspects. Development that only focuses on economc targets wthout consderaton of natural resource sustanablty wll
ncrease Indonesan vulnerablty to clmate change. The mplementaton of adaptaton actvty should be parallel wth poverty allevaton efforts and
economc development targets for poor communtes, whch are the group most vulnerable to the mpact of clmate change.
The development of capacty to adapt to clmate change n the future should be based on experence and capacty buldng to address the present clmate
rsk. Therefore, the adaptaton agenda to address clmate change should be lnked to the Natonal Acton Plan on Reducton of Dsaster Rsk RAN-PRB.
Ths RAN-PRB has been establshed by the Government of Indonesa as a commtment to Unted Resoluton 631999. The RAN-PRB objectve s to
reduce rsk factors that cause dsaster ncludng those related to envronment and natural resources such as clmate change.
Adaptaton efforts should be conducted through a number of approaches: 1 ntegratng the clmate change adaptaton agenda nto natonal development
30
plans such as Medum and Long Term Development Plans; 2 Revew and adjust the exstng ntatves or programs, so they wll be reslent to clmate
change; 3 Insttutonalze the use of clmate nformaton n order to have capablty to manage clmate rsk; 4 encourage local autonomy to ntegrate
consderaton of clmate rsk nto local development plans; 5 strengthen the nformaton and knowledge to reduce present and future clmate rsk; 6 ensure
the avalablty of domestc resources and fundng for adaptaton actvty and maxmze the use, probably wth the nternatonal support; 7 choose no
regret opton, whch s conductng adaptaton acton wth or wthout clmate change so the beneit receve could be used to reduce the vulnerablty to
clmate change, but also could be used for natonal development beneit; and 8 encourage a natonal dalog to accelerate mplementaton process of
adaptaton agenda to clmate change n Indonesa.
