On a local level, a potential consequence of climate change is the reduced production capacity of farms and the disruption of local transportation routes from an increased occurrence of extreme weather events. A notable example how climate change is impacting trade is through the agricultural industry in Indonesia.
In May 2011, Indonesia declared a moratorium on new logging contracts to help combat this. [14] This appeared to be ineffective in the short-term, as the rate of deforestation continued to increase. By 2012 Indonesia had surpassed the rate of deforestation in Brazil, [15] and become the fastest forest clearing nation in the world. [16]
The city is one of the world's most vulnerable cities to the impacts of climate change. Due to its geographical and natural diversity, Indonesia is one of the countries most susceptible to the impacts of climate change. [17] This is supported by the fact that Jakarta has been listed as the world's most vulnerable city, regarding climate change.
While the state has implied that the poor ultimately stand to gain from these projects, the reality is that Jakarta’s poor are the most negatively impacted. [10] [14] In 2010, Jakarta’s City Government voiced concerns over the effect of climate change over the city’s poor and promised to reduce their vulnerability to climate shocks. [15]
Global Climate Action, originally known as Non-state Actor Zone for Climate Action (NAZCA), is a web portal launched in 2014 by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). [1] The purpose of the website is to provide information about climate action around the globe.
The Adaptation Fund was officially launched in 2007, [1] although it was established in 2001 at the 7th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP7) to the UNFCCC in Marrakech, Morocco [2] to finance concrete adaptation projects and programmes that reduce the adverse effects of climate change facing communities, countries, and sectors.
This is a list of climate change initiatives of international, national, regional, and local political initiatives to take action on climate change (global warming). A Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a set of strategies intended to guide efforts for climate change mitigation. [1]
Climate change is having and will have further serious impact in the form of rising sea levels. As Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago state, at current rates, rising sea levels will result in 42 million Indonesian households over 2000 islands being at risk of submersion by the middle of this century.
