The effects of climate change are increasingly evident and have significant implications for various aspects of global society, including Indonesia. As an archipelagic nation characterized by diverse geographical, climatic, and socio-cultural conditions, Indonesia is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Given the threats posed by climate-induced disasters, proactive adaptation measures are crucial to mitigate future human and economic losses.
Climate change adaptation (CCA) efforts are important to be carried out immediately because the benefits can be felt more quickly. Although this effort must be accompanied by mitigation efforts. One promising approach to integrating CCA and disaster risk reduction (DRR) through spatial planning. It can serve as an effective mechanism to minimize exposure and vulnerability to climate-related hazards.
However, Indonesia’s current spatial planning process needs a more detailed integration of these two critical aspects. Fragmented analysis of disasters and climate change, with climate data often used merely as descriptive information, underscores the need for a more comprehensive approach.
Therefore, this study aims to develop an integrated framework for CCA and DRR within spatial planning, focusing on data collection, analysis, and plan formulation. Efforts to integrate CCA into the spatial planning process in Indonesia have become an urgent need to create spatial plans that are resilient to climate-related disasters. Thus, spatial planning can function as one of the tools to reduce the impact of climate change.
