Abstract
Climate change is a serious problem mostly caused by human activities but the impacts are felt by all creatures in the word. These conditions are worsened by the rise of ‘dirty industries’ that exceed the environmental carrying capacity. Many studies had showed that people need to do something to cut climate change from individual to state scale. Therefore, community plays an important role to climate change program’s success. It is known as community-based adaptation (CBA). CBA combines indigenous knowledge, community needs, and local conditions so the program is more likely to implement. In Indonesia, climate change adaptation and mitigation are run in community level namely ProKlim. Government also gives the best practiced community with title and prizes. This paper aims to identify and synthesize previous researches related to CBA and challenge and opportunity of CBA practices in Indonesia. The findings of this paper are CBA is proven in shaping resilience on disaster management, aquaculture, food, and water. Moreover, indigenous knowledge, local leader, funding, and government involvement are the important instrument of CBA. Despite the numerous reports on CBA succeed, there are still some challenge and opportunity of CBA practices in Indonesia.
Highlights
Climate change is a major problem that significantly affects coral reefs, drought, freshwater resources, agriculture, aquaculture, sea-level rises, wetlands, health, extinction of species, and social and economic life [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
community-based adaptation (CBA)'s local-scale focus allows for greater recognition and integration of existing indigenous knowledge, capacities, priorities, and context, as well as enabling impacts to be addressed at the scale at which they experience [13]
Indigenous knowledge provides insights on how the community dealt with climate change in the past and what to do in the future [29,30,31]
Summary
Climate change is a major problem that significantly affects coral reefs, drought, freshwater resources, agriculture, aquaculture, sea-level rises, wetlands, health, extinction of species, and social and economic life [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. Vulnerable areas such as small islands are more likely affected by the climate change impact [7, 9, 13]. This paper will discuss the current research on community-based adaptation and challenges and opportunities in Indonesia
