This is by far the first collection of edited volumes that try to collect and review
the latest research, including advances in policies and actions in understanding the
science, impacts, and management of climate change in Indonesia. This edited book
which is the result of the collaboration between Indonesian authors with international authors could strengthen capacity and increase further collaboration in the
future. I do hope this book could be useful for the policy-makers, scientists, and
practitioners of climate change actions worldwide.
