Protection of Rights of Community
of Bajo Tribe from the Impacts
of Climate Change
Muhammad Sabaruddin Sinapoy and Susanti Djalante
Abstract Global warming is causing rise in sea surface temperatures and atmospheric instability in the lower layers close to the surface of the earth, which then
leads to the expansion of seawater. The process of global climate change stages
begins with rising temperatures, unstable rainfall, and seasonal shifts. This has a
direct impact on the ecological conditions of coastal communities such as rising sea
levels, seawater intrusion, changes in catch and fish season, storms, and declining
biodiversity. As a result, the disruption of fishing activities Bajo tribal fishermen
(dependence on SDLP). This condition also has an impact on socioeconomic life
and income. The purpose of this paper is to develop adaptation strategies that can be
applied to the fishing communities of the Bajo tribe as an effort to tackle ecological
changes as well as adaptation efforts in the form of responsive actions to minimize
and anticipate impacts by way of technology adoption, infrastructure development,
altering arrestment area, network and mobilization of family members, and diversification of livelihoods. Adaptation strategies include physical adaptation strategies,
socioeconomic adaptation, and adaptation of human resources both proactively and
reactively in order to save the fishing economy of the Bajo tribe.
