Community Climate Adaptation

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.

OverviewHow It WorksImpact

Overview

Adaptation is where climate change stops being an abstraction. A shifted monsoon is not a line on a chart — it is a planting date missed, a harvest lost, a family deciding whether to send a child back to school.
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. Every plan is co-designed, with communities contributing seasonal knowledge while we provide downscaled projections, monitoring data, and convening power to engage district planning agencies.

How It Works

On the Ground

Dynamic planting calendars — that blend elder farmers' seasonal knowledge with real-time BMKG rainfall data, updated each season through community meetings.

— including flood-tolerant and drought-resistant varieties developed with BRIN's agricultural research division.

Climate-resilient seed distribution

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.”

— Ibu Yani Kartika, Coordinator, Cikajang Women's Farming Cooperative
