The project aims to build partnerships between the Indonesian government and vulnerable communities experiencing loss and damages due to climate change and to advance Indonesia’s interests in and claims for climate reparations through the Warsaw International Mechanism on Loss and Damage.

The objectives of the project includes:

(1)  establish an Indonesia-based consortium to research, evidence and empower climate-vulnerable communities experiencing material and non-material loss and damages to pursue inclusive solutions for adaptation and compensation,

(2) develop a community-led, socially-inclusive and gender-sensitive, climate-impact monitoring system, and

(3) provide relevant Indonesian government ministries with the political, legal and strategic resources to develop strategic policies on the Loss and Damage that will ensure Indonesian communities are compensated for climate-related loss and damages. 

The project’s multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional research consortium uses a co-learning, cooperative inquiry approach to empower rural and urban communities to produce evidence-based knowledge of loss and damages and design planning for climate reparations.
