DESCRIPTION
Adaptation measures taken in Pekalongan City to address climate change issues are somewhat under-evaluated due to the absence of a comprehensive climate risk assessment. Complex issues such as climate change require comprehensive measures to effectively address the root causes. Given that most risks arise from changes in climate indicators, it is important to develop a climate risk assessment before intervening with different projects so that project outcomes can be traced back to the initial level of risk.
The proposed program seeks to bridge this gap by applying a comprehensive approach that includes technical assessments, planning, interventions, and monitoring and evaluation. This set of activities will be supported by a framework and measures to strengthen institutional mechanisms on climate adaptation and resilience issues. In practical terms, the program components will start with identifying root causes (climate risk assessment) and continue with the development and implementation of adaptation plans (in the form of intervention projects) whose results can be traced back to the problem. Additionally, efforts to build stakeholder capacity and advocate for climate resilience policies will coincide with the program.
This program will focus on building resilience to the impacts of climate change in Pekalongan City, one of the coastal cities in Central Java Province (in the North Coast of Java region), by intervening in both hard structures and soft structures. This means addressing not only physical interventions but also building socio-economic and institutional capacity.
GOALS
This project is specifically designed to build the resilience of coastal cities to the impacts of climate change and natural disasters, with a special focus on adaptation actions that favor the poor and involve and benefit the most vulnerable communities in the city.
We believe that the key to doing so is to increase the capacity of coastal communities to implement climate change adaptation actions. This will be achieved through three key actions:(1) Protect(2) Sustain(3) Conserve

Perjanjian ini ditandatangani antara Green Climate Fund (GCF) dan KEMITRAAN. Perjanjian ini meresmikan akuntabilitas KEMITRAAN dalam melaksanakan proyek-proyek yang disetujui oleh GCF.
Untuk diketahui, GCF adalah dana khusus terbesar di dunia yang membantu negara-negara berkembang untuk mengurangi emisi gas rumah kaca dan meningkatkan kemampuan mereka dalam merespons perubahan iklim.
Dana ini dihimpun oleh Konvensi Kerangka Kerja PBB tentang Perubahan Iklim (UNFCCC) pada tahun 2010. GCF memiliki peran penting dalam mewujudkan Perjanjian Paris, yakni mendukung tujuan untuk menjaga kenaikan suhu global rata-rata di bawah 2 derajat celsius.
