Our Work
What We Do
Three interlocking programs — community adaptation, climate science, and policy advocacy — that move climate resilience from research into practice across Indonesia.
Three interlocking programs — community adaptation, climate science, and policy advocacy — that move climate resilience from research into practice across Indonesia.
We partner with local governments and village communities across 14 provinces to develop locally-rooted adaptation plans — integrating traditional ecological knowledge with IPCC-aligned climate projections to protect livelihoods in agriculture, fisheries, and forestry.
Dynamic planting calendars that blend elder farmers' seasonal knowledge with real-time BMKG rainfall data, updated each season through community meetings.
Climate-resilient seed distribution including flood-tolerant and drought-resistant varieties developed with BRIN's agricultural research division.
Mangrove and coastal restoration led by fishing communities, protecting shorelines while restoring local livelihoods.
Community facilitator training building a locally-embedded network that can lead adaptation work without external dependency.
“It's not about replacing what our parents taught us. It's about giving that knowledge a partner — the data tells us what's coming, and our experience tells us how to respond.”

Our research team translates complex climate science into accessible knowledge products — policy briefs, community guidebooks, and open datasets. We collaborate with BRIN, BMKG, and international research networks to ensure evidence-based decision-making at every level.
Downscaled climate projections for coastal, agricultural, and urban risk zones, built with BMKG monitoring data.
Open data and vulnerability mapping including our coastal inundation assessment across 42 districts in Eastern Indonesia.
Policy briefs and community guidebooks that translate research findings into plain-language, decision-ready formats.
Media and journalist training to improve the accuracy and reach of climate reporting across Indonesian outlets.
“We stopped asking whether the science was rigorous enough and started asking whether it was reaching anyone. Those turned out to be different problems, and only one of them was being measured.”

We engage legislators, regional governments, and planning agencies to mainstream climate risk into spatial planning, infrastructure investment, and national development frameworks. Our advocacy campaigns have influenced policy in 6 provincial climate action plans since 2019.
Spatial planning integration embedding climate risk assessments and ecosystem-based adaptation into binding provincial development plans.
NDC implementation support helping translate Indonesia's national climate commitments into village-level action mechanisms.
Legislative engagement with regional parliaments and planning agencies to mainstream climate risk into infrastructure investment decisions.
Multi-stakeholder coalitions connecting government, civil society, and the private sector around shared green governance goals.
“The targets were never the hard part. The hard part is the sub-national architecture that decides whether a commitment made in Jakarta ever reaches a village budget line.”
