Abstract

Indonesia as an archipelagic state is extremely vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR) threat. SLR presents significant risks to coastal settlements, infrastructure, cultural resources, and sensitive species habitats. The presentation provides an overview (along with images) of land subsidence and sea level rise in two areas of Indonesia. Existing gaps in environmental legislation would require the attention of multi-level layers of government as well as proper coordination. Social justice aspects of legislation have been neglected.
