OUTLINE

• Background

• Initiate adaptation strategy in Indonesia

Identification on impact of climate change on health, Hazards, Vulnerability, and Adaptive Capacity

• Policy, Strategy and Institutional Framework

Background

Republic of Indonesia

• Population of 236.4m, 57% in villages (SCB, 2007)

• 17,508 islands over 3.977 miles

• GDP per capita US$ 3.843 (UNDP,2007/8)

• Human Development Index ranking 107 (UNDP 2007/8)

• 45.2% (105.3m) poor and vulnerable poor (World Bank 2007)

• In 2001 implemented a Decentralization policy.

• In 2007 administratively; into 33 provinces, 444 districts

• Climate Change now become an important issue in Indonesia and is mainstreamed in National Development Plan.

• Ministry of Health has been developing a National Policy and strategy on Health for Adaptation to Climate Change.

• With other sectors, health adaptation strategy will be implemented under National Development Plan 2010-2029

Framework Institutional Policy and Program

Development of adaptation strategy on health should be based on Scientific basis analysis, regional differences and cross cutting

issues

• Identifying future potential impact• Indentifying vulnerability aspects on health towards

climate change impact. • Indentifying hazard and adaptive capacity on Climate

Change• Identifying policy, strategy and program for

integrated adaptation on health towards climate change

Health Hazard Factors

Hazards on health

• Increase in temperature

• Rainfall variability

• Sea level rise

• More intense & extreme weather events (Floodings and landslides)

Health Sector’s Vulnerability Concerns

Vulnerability

1. Poor and vulnerable to poverty especially in urban area2. Coastal Community (65% Population in Java Island life in

coastal area)3. Elderly and children, 4. Traditional Community 5. Farmers, 6. Small islands Population (17.500 islands, Indonesia

archipelago)7. Peopel wih water hardship, poor sanitation and hygiene 8. Poor Health system (facility, services, and community

participation)9. Ecosystem and disease (vector distribution and transmission)10.Marine ecosytem

Health Adaptive Capacity and Challenges

Health System conditions and challenges

• Disparities in Health Service Status • Double burden of diseases • Communicable diseases (new emerging and re-

emerging diseasesw)• Inadequate and poor health-services

(performance and quality)• Inadequate healthy behavior • Degrading environmental health conditions • Insufficient numbers of health officers• Drug stock (poor stockpiling of drugs)

National Policy, Strategy and Program towards climate change impact on health

Adaptation Framework will take followings in to the considerations:

Categorize burdens to health system that are likely to be imposed due to CC

Develop guidelines and regulation on Health Sector adaptation to CC

Raise Health Sector and the other sectors awareness on building adaptive capacity to CC

Strengthen local government capacity and empowering community

Action planning on Health Sector’s adaptation to CC

Start implementing simple adaptive approach in Health Sector and developing monitoring information system

Advokasi dan Sosialisasi

Manajemen data, kajian, analisis serta penelitian tentang bahaya, kerentanan, dan risiko serta dampak perubahan iklim terhadap malaria

Pemetaan daerah rawan malaria akibat perubahan iklim di Sumatera

Pemetaan vektor kerentanan terhadap insektisida pada tingkat Kabupaten di Sumatera

Pemetaan habitat perkembangbiakan vektor malaria di wilayah endemis malaria di Sumatera

Pengembangan model intervensi KIE dan partisipasi masyarakat tentang pengendalian malaria

Peningkatan Kapasitas Pengelola Program

Penguatan managemen kasus dan pengendalian vektor

Pengendalian faktor risikor penularan malaria meliputi : pengelolaaan habitat perkembangbiakan akibat perubahan & meningkatkan kepedulian masyarakat dalam pencegahan dan pengendalian mlaria .

Institutional Framework• Indonesia has ratified UNFCC’s Framework with Law No.

5 /1994

• There exists a Government Regulation No. 46/2008 about National Council on Climate Change, and Minister of Health as a member.

• National Cross-sector Working Group on Climate Change. Leaded by Minister of Environment with members : MoForestry, MoEnergy, MoAgricultural, MoHealth, National Planning, MoPublic Works and Universities.

• National Team on Climate Change Planning, PPN Minister/BAPENAS No. 204/M.PPN/10/2008

• Communication Forum for Climate Change Impact on Health, MOH as a chairperson

There exist national action plan on Climate Change; however health sector needs are inadequately addressed

Ministry of Health is in process of developing health sector policy and strategy on Climate Change

Ministry of Health is undertaking vulnerability assessment and evidences on Climate Change effects to health

Ministry of Health is socializing the issue of Climate Change at Central and Provincial levels

Ministry of Health is promoting exchange of ideas and sharing knowledge at inter-country level
