Indonesia

Indonesia counts over 17’000 islands. Lying along the equator, the climate is almost entirely tropical with a dry season (April – October) and a wet season (November – March). In addition to overall geophysical risks from e.g. earthquakes and volcanoes, the country is considered at serious risk from climate change impacts. Changes in precipitation patterns result in droughts and floods and endanger agricultural activities and thus the livelihoods of many Indonesian people. They also encourage diseases and increases in wildfires, which threaten the country’s huge rainforest. Considering that the majority of Indonesians lives in low-lying coastal areas, the rising sea level is threating the homes of the major part of the population.
