Gaps in actions taken to adapting to climate change (policies, institutions, programs, etc.) specifically on the implementation of RAN-PI at both national and local levels;Knowledge and technology needs to enhance adaptive capacity and foster resilience; and,

Capacity needs of different stakeholders including the government and national agencies/ institutions to implement adaptation priorities.

Telapak

Page 20: Regional Climate Change Adaptation Knowledge Network

Gili Air, small island village: Problem: water scarcity,water management Water polution from swimming pool maintenance for tourism Coastal abrasion Extreme weather Need: better knowledge on coastal and reef ecosystem

  Jambi Anom, coastal village:

Problem: traditional/artisanal fishers hard to cope with extreme and unpredictable weather. Need: instant alternative livelihood

  Suela, community forestry village:

Problem: more and new (unknown)pests Higher demand for fuelwood for tobacco smoking after government stopped kerosene subsidy. Need: more participation action research on managing impacts of CC.

Sembalun, mountain agricultural village: Problem: unpredictable and extreme weather that they used to highly rely on for their live and

cultural events. Need: materials and trainers for their learning and empowerment center for “pesantren pertanian”

and adat communities.  Karang Bajo, coastal adat community village:

Problem: unpredictable and extreme weather that they used to highly rely on for their live and cultural events.

Need: materials and trainers for their learning and empowerment center for women and adat communities.

Nusa Tenggara Barat

Page 21: Regional Climate Change Adaptation Knowledge Network

Provincial level, Kupang: Kabupaten level (Timor Tengah Selatan), Soe: Lelobatan-Mollo Utara, mountain agricultural & adat community village:

Problem: unpredictable weather caused crops failure food and seed scarcity, insecure sowing season.

Food and seed management in “rumah bulat” disrupted. Need: instant alternative livelihood, weather proof variety of crops.

Tuapakas-Kualin, coastal & adat community village: Problem: unpredictable weather caused crops failure food and seed scarcity, insecure

sowing season. Threats from offshore mining exploration that using dynamite, killing reef-fishes Alternative income from colour gravel stones mining on the beach, but may cause coastal

abrasion in longer term. Need: alternative livelihood.  Poloh-Panite, agricultural village: Problem: unpredictable weather caused crops failure food and seed scarcity, insecure

sowing season; very dry arid land, but occassionally flooded in dry season. Lack of other source of income, but very creative in hand-made textile weaving that might

be an asset for safety net. Need: instant alternative livelihood.

Nusa Tenggara Timur

Page 22: Regional Climate Change Adaptation Knowledge Network

Kabupaten level (Tabanan), Tabanan: Already aware of CC, have done some replanting and reforestation,

water management with biopores, catchment-well, etc. Need: integrated approach for better adaptation ad mitigation for CC.

  Pelaga-Badung Utara, subak abian village:

Problem: unpredictable weather caused crops failure, more and unknown pests.

Ecotourism as an alternative livelihood is more promising. Need: more information about CC and how to adapt with it.

  Geluntung-Margarana, Tabanan, subak sawah village: Problem: not aware of CC, more concerns on agricultural chemical inputs

and want to go back to organic farming.

Unknown at the kabupaten and village levels. For instance, in North Lombok, only 3 of 15 FGD participants at the kabupaten level knew about the document. Of these three, only one has vaguely read it.

Climate change as such is not so much an issue at the local level but immediate developmental problems such as disruption in traditional natural resource management systems.

Summary of initial findings…RAN-PI

Page 24: Regional Climate Change Adaptation Knowledge Network

How much of the survival of groups depend on rights? What are the rights angle of adaptation? Would households with better bundle of rights adapt better to climate change impacts?

Are islands legitimate administrative units to demand government services? What are the bargaining rights of small islands?

What innovations are needed to be able to adapt successfully to food scarcity and heightened impacts of CC? What technologies and seeds that are attuned to drier environments?

How assets are used to adapt to extreme events? What happened to the seed banks in the villages? Are there seed banks in the

village? Rumah bulad – traditional barn – how to build knowledge of seeds to the next generation? How do you store seeds?

How do you document local knowledge on seed management as a form of adaptive management? How is this being affected by aspirational changes and migration of young generation? How gendered is this? How affected by the movement of young women to work as maids in Singapore?

Research questions

Page 25: Regional Climate Change Adaptation Knowledge Network

Identify local champions – entry point to empowerment- assistance can only be sustained by working through local champions

More field schools on climate change to educate younger kids (sekolah lapang) – already existing

Supporting multi-stakeholder interests (e.g. business sector) – finding and support a common agenda as a trigger to leverage funds for the players (eg Tabanan) – trigger the experience of positive interaction

How to document local knowledge?

Capacity building

Page 26: Regional Climate Change Adaptation Knowledge Network

At the national level the issue is on the integration of CCA and DRR not

just assessing how much been implemented. At the community

level, both issues (including mitigation) are integrated to solve

urgent problems. Differentiating who the players are on CCA and DRR is

not relevant

Coordination and collaboration among

governmental and non-governmental institutions is essential to overcome ego-sectoral approach.

Problem: without really looking or assessing how far the RAN PI has been implemented at the lower

level, the National Planning Body (Bappenas) is planning to issue

the new National Action Plan (RAN) especially addressing CC

Adaptation.

WALHI complains about too much RAN documents already that their

contents are conflicting and overlapping need real

integration at the national level, especially on the masterplan of

national and regional spatial planning.
