How has RWI’s Regional Asia Pacific Programme’s (RAPP) been a beacon for positive change in the Asia-Pacific region?

By providing a roadmap for aligning policies with human rights principles and establishing mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation, action plans facilitate ongoing progress assessment and improvement identification. However, challenges such as legal and institutional barriers, resource constraints, and fluctuating political support can hinder effective implementation. For more info click link in bio

RWI bersama Direktorat Jenderal Hak Asasi Manusia Kementrian Hukum dan Ham Republik Indonesia, Kementrian Kelautan dan Perikanan Republik Indonesia dan Ditjen Pengelolaan Kelautan dan Ruang Laut meluncurkan laporan bertajuk "Masyarakat Adat Pesisir dan Perubahan Iklim: Perspektif Hak Asasi Manusia" di Jakarta.

Masyarakan pesisir di Indonesia mewakili kelompok rentan yang memerlukan perhatian khusus. Kehadiran mereka yang mana tidak sepenuhnya terdokumentasi dalam statistik pemerintah beserta tingginya tingkat kemiskinan relatif mereka, telah melipatgandakan kerentanan masyarakat pesisir dalam menghadapi serangan perubahan iklim.

Berikut adalah rekomendasi guna memperkuat perlindungan dan pemenuhan hak masyarakat adat pesisir dalam konteks perubahan iklim.

RWI together with the Directorate General of Human Rights of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia and the Directorate General of Marine Management and Marine Spaces launched a report entitled "Coastal Indigenous Peoples and Climate Change: A Human Rights Perspective" in Jakarta.

Coastal communities in Indonesia represent a vulnerable group that requires special attention. Their presence, which is not fully documented in government statistics, along with their high levels of relative poverty, has multiplied the vulnerability of coastal communities in the face of the onset of climate change.

The following are recommendations to strengthen the protection and fulfillment of the rights of indigenous coastal communities in the context of climate change.

May your year be filled with abundance. Happy Lunar New Year 2024!
