As an archipelagic country with the longest coastline, Indonesia is vulnerable to disasters caused by climate change, such as rising sea levels and tidal flooding. Disasters such as extreme rainfall and temperatures, drought are also prone to hitting remote areas and also urban areas. Therefore, it is important to design appropriate mitigation and adaptation strategies to avoid socio-economic risks.

KEMITRAAN starts a climate change impact program from a systematic effort to create resilience, reduce its impact through a planned policy of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) and adjusting to impacts that have already occurred (adaptation), starting from the planning, implementation and evaluation process of development, and linking it to human rights, especially the principles of climate justice, namely recognition, procedural, distributive and corrective.

This process begins with a paradigm shift by positioning the impacts of climate change as a ‘pre-condition’ that can no longer be avoided, so that it is not reactive to the impacts, but rather anticipatory by prioritizing a rights-based approach for all parties, both those affected and those potentially affected, in handling climate change.
