[Ongoing Research] Resilience and Adaptation to Sea level rise in Jakarta Bay: Sink or Swim together?

This research explores how communities in Jakarta Bay navigate the escalating risks of sea level rise and climate-induced environmental change. The project seeks to deepen understanding of resilience by analysing how different social groups interpret climate impacts, respond to adaptation policies, and articulate their needs within rapidly transforming coastal landscapes.
