Disaster Risk Reduction (43060) (50.00%)
Project activities include: (1) developing modelling tools that accurately assess the damage and costs of climate change-exacerbated flooding and inform policy development; (2) developing nature-based solutions to peatland and mangrove restoration and biodiversity conservation that incorporate women’s knowledge, skills, and roles; (3) conducting gender-responsive research and developing policies and programs for climate change mitigation and adaptation, including carbon pricing; and (4) exploring and piloting of innovative social support mechanisms to address climate risks. Direct beneficiaries include 30,000 university faculty members, researchers, and government officials receiving capacity-building support. Indirect beneficiaries include many communities – particular women, youth and poorer populations. Also, disaster risk reduction mitigation measures help improve and provide more sustainable environmental resource management.
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) reduced vulnerability of Indonesian citizens, women and men, and industries in identified high-risk locations to climate change-exacerbated flood events via the adoption of gender-responsive financial, nature-based solutions or social assistance tools; (2) enhanced adoption of gender-equitable peatland and mangrove restoration and conservation nature-based solutions. This includes biodiversity co-benefits for gender-responsive climate change adaptation and mitigation in Indonesia; and (3) improved national-level governance for climate change mitigation and adaptation through inclusive, gender-responsive climate finance policies and programs.
