Summary
The project empowers local-level responses to climate change risks in East Nusa Tenggara, one of Indonesia’s poorest provinces that faces worsening climate impacts, to improve spatial planning, conservation and livelihoods at the community and district-levels. It co-develops a scalable model that supports local stakeholders to recognise local climate risks, develop locally-appropriate planning scenarios, and undertake local actions (e.g., changes to farming practices, reforestation) that improve the wellbeing of small-scale farmers, protect critical ecosystem services and conserve threatened endemic species.
