Book 3 – The Roles Of Non-State Actors In Climate Resilience

Increasing climate resilience is a collaborative action of all stakeholders, both the state actors and non-state actors (NSA) including civil society organizations, academics, private sectors and individuals. Impacts at a local scale can be handled effectively by involving groups and institutions working at the site level. The intervention of NSA can be carried out through assistance to communities and infrastructure development. Additionally, NSA can target down to the smallest administrative areas and embrace the communities that are formed in the society, so that climate resilience action becomes more comprehensive. NSA includes various types of institutions who are engaged in academics, societies, and others; however, the mapping in this book is carried out for NGOs. There are 9 (nine) organizations out of 24 that are included in the matrix of the pillars of environmental development in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) based on the Regulation of the Minister for National Development Planning/ Bappenas No.7 of 2018. The roles of NGOs are inseparable from their contributions to increasing national climate resilience. Obtaining data and information on NGOs interventions was carried out through mapping of the types of activities and locations of climate resilience activities based on sectors and approaches. The mapping results can become a reference for the central government, local governments (province/ district/city), and NGOs to increase collaboration in preparing complementary climate resilience activities in locations affected by climate change. This effort is expected to create a convergence between the government and NGOs to realize climate resilience development and encourage the development of innovations and new solutions to increase the achievement of climate resilience.
