Mainstreaming Climate-Resilient, Low Carbon Development Plans: The Case of The North of Jakarta Special Capital Region

This policy brief, “Mainstreaming Climate-Resilient, Low-Carbon Development Plans: The Case of the North Coast of Jakarta Special Capital Region”, is prepared by interdisciplinary scholars from the Asia Research Center, University of Indonesia. It aims to provide an academic response to the ratification of the Governor Regulation of Special Capital Region of Jakarta No. 90 of 2021 (Pergub 90/2021) concerning Climate-Resilient, Low-Carbon Regional Development Plans (RPRKD).

In this paper, we analyze the potential and obstacles to implementing a plan to strengthen climate-resilient basic services in the coastal areas of North Jakarta. The focus of the analysis is on five main areas, i.e. education; health; spatial planning; peace, public order, and community protection; as well as social economics. Another focus is on the poor living in slum areas as the most vulnerable group facing the various impacts of climate change.
