local activities. Currently, Indonesia has several policy instruments and legal requirements that set out priorities and guidance for adaptation programming in the country,
which are positioned within Indonesia’s overall commitments under the UNFCCC
process. From the articulation of international climate change adaptation frameworks into national planning for local activity implementation, we discuss here the
policy and planning instruments that transfer the international conceptions of adaptation into national planning and local programming. We convey the local farmer
experiences of the national adaptation programmes implemented in two case studies
of agricultural areas in the Yogyakarta region of Java, amidst Indonesia’s country
commitments and priorities on adaptation to village activity-level implementation.
These local-level experiences of adaptation programming in implementation offer
several insights to guide adaptation approaches and conceptions in use for informing
national adaptation programming implementation at village levels.
The chapter, firstly, outlines the methodology undertaken in gathering data through
qualitative interviews undertaken with farmers, post-programme in two comparative
case studies for investigation and as examples of “putting into practice” adaptation in
the development sector through national programming. The chapter then reviews the
literature on the conceptual underpinnings of adaptation in determining how adaptation programmes engage local farmers. Currently, Indonesia has several policy
instruments and legal requirements that set out priorities and guidance for adaptation programming in the country, positioned within Indonesia’s overall commitments
under the UNFCCC process. Accordingly, we review the key policy structures for
articulating international climate change adaptation frameworks into national planning and policy in Indonesia to situate the national adaptation programmes being
implemented in two case studies, amidst Indonesia’s national commitments and
priorities on adaptation. We discuss here the positioning of climate finance and international commitments governing action on climate change adaptation, in order to
understand the directives underpinning the National Action Plan on Climate Change
Adaptation (Rencana Aksi Nasional Adaptasi Perubahan Iklim-RAN-API) for adaptation action planning and village-level targeted programmes. This section follows
the implementation of these two case studies through the relevant line ministries
to village-level implementation and links the approaches to adaptation activities to
the literature on climate change adaptation, including the implications in integrating
programming as local adaptation activities. Finally, the chapter documents the locallevel and participant experiences in adaptive capacity and resilience enhancing activities undertaken under the RAN-API programming. The chapter follows with a series
of considerations for how climate change adaptation is integrated into the development sector and implemented at local scales, with attention given explicitly to the
ways that incorporating local knowledge and community culture fosters capacity and
policy goals’ effectiveness.
