Analysing climate change in the coastal zone: the case of Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia

Abstract

Unsustainable development is our species’ biggest threat to private and public values. The coastal zone most affected by climate change and public value (PV) should be actively engaged with the environmental issues because ecology has provided the most fundamental criticism of PV. However, we still don’t fully comprehend how public value is considered while managing climate change in Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia. This paper challenges Moore’s strategic triangle as a framework for coordinating the process in producing public value, namely: the definition of public value; the authorising environment, and; organizational capacity. The purpose of the paper is to explore the public value considered in reducing the impact of climate change. We identified Moore’s strategic triangle using desk research and secondary sources. Results support the assertion that public value is not created by the public sector alone but also recognized by other sources. This study suggests that government develop and strengthen institutions to handle contemporary environmental issues in order to organize climate change. Lack of ecological literacy can have ramifications for organizational capability.
