Climate Change, Labour and Migration in Indonesia

This book explores the complex nexus of climate change, labour, and migration with a specific focus on women and children, using Indonesia as a case study. It provides a comprehensive analysis of intersecting issues, drawing on transdisciplinary academic knowledge from fields such as law, social work, gender studies, public health, engineering, and urban planning.

The book examines the future of climate change law in Indonesia, gender-based adaptation strategies, and the role of local leaders in managing sea level rise impacts. It investigates the effects of climate change on labour migration, social protection for informal workers, and economic resilience strategies for women and children. Additionally, it analyzes immobility and adaptation strategies, forced migration, and the role of local government in addressing migration and climate change. Special emphasis is placed on the legal frameworks and policies necessary for effective climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as the principles of green criminology in understanding environmental injustices.

This volume offers valuable insights and recommendations for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to develop holistic climate change mitigation strategies that address the needs of vulnerable communities. It is essential reading for those interested in the intersections of climate change, migration, labour, law, and green criminology.
