| Summary: | The Republic of Indonesia, herein
Indonesia, is the world’s largest archipelagic state,
consisting of more than 17,500 islands with over 81,000
kilometres (km) of coastline, a population of 270.6 million
as of 2019 and the largest economy in Southeast Asia.
Indonesia is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts,
including extreme events such as floods and droughts, and
long-term changes from sea level rise, shifts in rainfall
patterns, and increasing temperature. This document aims to
succinctly summarize the climate risks faced by Indonesia.
This includes rapid onset and long- term changes in key
climate parameters, as well as impacts of these changes on
communities, livelihoods, and economies, many of which are
already underway. This is a high-level synthesis of existing
research and analyses, focusing on the geographic domain of
Indonesia, therefore potentially excluding some
international influences and localized impacts. The core
data presented is sourced from the database sitting behind
the World Bank Group’s (WBG) climate change knowledge portal
(CCKP), incorporating climate projections from the Coupled
Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). This
document is primarily meant for WBG and Asian Development
Bank (ADB) staff to inform their climate actions. The
document also aims and to direct the reader to many useful
sources of secondary data and research. |
