4 months ago

Jakarta, Indonesia WRI Indonesia Full time

**Program Overview**

Indonesia envisions that in 2045 the country will be able to transform its economy from a natural resource-dependent economy to a modern, competitive manufacturing
- and service-based economy with high value-added to secure prosperity and social justice for all Indonesians. This transformation will capitalize on the country's maritime strengths by incorporating better ocean resource management to leverage the blue economy development for increasing environmental. sustainability as well as building competitive, innovative, and sustainable maritime sectors.

While oceans and the marine environment are vital for Indonesia's nature and prosperity, their true contribution is often overlooked in the climate change narrative. WRI Indonesia Ocean program has identified, at the very least, two devastating consequences if the status quo remains. First, the ongoing degradation of marine and coastal ecosystems will lead to a further decline in ecosystem function and loss of biodiversity. Second, Indigenous People and Local Communities living in coastal areas will face an escalating degree of poverty, increasing their vulnerability and limiting their capacity to adapt and mitigate climate change effects.

WRI Indonesia Ocean program has developed a strategy focusing on improving access to sustainable livelihood for indigenous people and local communities, measures to sustainably maintain and optimize the ecosystem services of marine ecosystems, and betterment of sustainable governance for marine and coastal ecosystems through inclusive and participative approach. The strategy will contribute to better governance for marine and coastal management by building policymakers' capacity to develop evidence-based policies through inclusive framework and active participation from Indigenous People and Coastal Communities.
