analyzes Indonesia’s coastal adaptation legal framework from human security and
human rights perspective. The fourth section is a case study of SLR impact on
human security and human rights in Semarang and Demak, and the fifth and sixth
on CCA policy options and human security and human rights implications and the
way forward.
This chapter aims at several objectives: first is to investigate SLR and its impacts
on human security and human rights in Indonesia. In addition, this chapter will also
investigate challenges in responding to the impact of climate change using human
security and human rights approach. Environmental changes including climate
change present a new threat to human security (United Nations University—Institute
for Environment and Human Security 2008). Many coastal cities are located in areas
prone to SLR.
Methodology
The research uses qualitative research method. Literature review and empirical study
are both employed as methodologies for this research. Empirical research through
site observation, in-depth interview with government officials, and local communities
were conducted. Two villages in Demak were chosen. Bedono and Sri Wulan were
chosen as case studies as these villages are the worst affected villages by SLR and
land subsidence. Many of the villagers have migrated and as a result their land has
been permanently inundated.
Adaptation in Coastal Areas: Human Security and Human
Rights Implications (General Literature Review)
Human Security
Security is a multifaceted concept. Human security is now acknowledged as a
legitimate governance issue within the international climate regime (Mason 2015).
However, this has not yet led to any formal policy decision by the UNFCCC to protect
and enhance human security in the context of climate change (Mason 2015). The
concept of human security was popularized in 1994 in the UNDP Human Development Report (UNDP 2018). UNDP has put forward the concept of human security to
assist in the framing of development and equity issue. The 1994 HDR highlighted two
major components of human security: Freedom from fear and freedom from want.
The 1994 HDR further listing seven essential dimensions of human security include
economic, health, personal, political, food, environmental, and community. Environmental change has been increasingly understood as a security issue (Barnett 2001)
Environmental change nowadays has been associated with the impact of climate
