“…These are particularly acute in the context of small islands with their small populations, economies, and administrations. Adaptation hence often depends on the availability of external (aid) funding, which comes with its own challenges, including the short time horizons of aid-funded (pilot) projects, significant year-to-year fluctuations of flows, and considerable administrative burdens for planning and reporting (Barnett & Campbell, 2010;Overton, Prinsen, Murray, & Wrighton, 2012;Dornan & Pryke, 2016).…”

Dealing With Climate Change on Small Islands: Towards Effective and Sustainable Adaptation

Small islands are so-called hotspots of climate change. Here, the adverse effects of sea-level rise, increasing temperatures, and changing weather patterns are already felt, making adaptation urgent (Mimura et al., 2007; Nurse et al., 2014). But while small islands may be uniquely impacted by the adverse effects of climate change, they are also uniquely resilient. Small islands are not only at the forefront of climate change impacts, they are also at the forefront of climate change responses. Island societies have long histories of resilience, of surviving, if not thriving, in resource-limited, dynamic, and isolated environments (Campbell, 2009; Nunn & Kumar, 2018). Over generations, sometimes over millennia, they have developed a wide range of practices to deal with climate variability and extreme weather events and incorporated them into cultural practices, myths, and songs. From this perspective, islands are traditionally "sites of resilience" (Campbell, 2009, p. 85) and "agents of knowledge production and territorial transformation" (Ratter, 2018). Accordingly, islanders "must be looked to and supported as inspiring champions of livelihood resilience and adaptation to climate change and disasters," as De Souza and colleagues (2015, p. 1) write (see also e.g. Barnett & Campbell, 2010). Small islands hold valuable lessons for both adaptation success and adaptation failure. Not every historical experience and traditional coping strategy is helpful for

“…There are, however, fundamental differences in aid strategies. Australia is focused more on institutional reforms with money flowing back to Australia through the use of subcontractors and consultants, most of whom are Australianbased; US aid is focused more in its former territories in the North Pacific under the compact arrangement; and Chinese aid is through 'soft' loans for largely public infrastructural purposes (Dornan & Pryke, 2017). Chinese development assistance is the fastest growing and provides more than 50 per cent of Fiji's external infrastructural funding and 30 per cent of aid to Cook Islands, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu.…”

“…The five largest donor countries in the Pacific region are Australia, the United States, China, New Zealand, and Japan. 46 Looking at the constellation in the Pacific region as well as in applying the balance of power, Indonesia has a great opportunity to increase its role in terms of providing technical assistance, particularly to mitigate disaster risk resulting from environmental problems in the Pacific region.…”

Permasalahan lingkungan masih menjadi isu utama bagi negara-negara di Kepulauan Pasifik. Kawasan ini dikenal sebagai salah satu yang paling rentan terkena bahaya alam dan perubahan iklim di dunia.<a title="" href="file:///C:/Users/Asus/Downloads/The%20Collaboration%20Indo-PICs%20(draft).docx#_ftn1">[1]</a> Penelitian terbaru menunjukkan bahwa setidaknya 8 pulau di Samudera Pasifik telah tenggelam akibat naiknya permukaan air laut.<a title="" href="file:///C:/Users/Asus/Downloads/The%20Collaboration%20Indo-PICs%20(draft).docx#_ftn2">[2]</a> Ancaman serupa pun terjadi di Indonesia. Sebagai negara yang terletak di kawasan Pacific Ring of Fire dan dikelilingi tiga lempeng tektonik menyebabkan Indonesia menjadi wilayah yang rawan bencana. dampak perubahan iklim telah mengancam sekitar 2000 pulau akan tenggelam sebelum tahun 2050.<a title="" href="file:///C:/Users/Asus/Downloads/The%20Collaboration%20Indo-PICs%20(draft).docx#_ftn3">[3]</a> Melihat pada tantangan dan ancaman yang dihadapi oleh negara-negara di kepulauan Pasifik dan Indonesia, membangun kerja sama yang konstruktif untuk mengatasi permasalahan lingkungan yang terjadi menjadi hal yang penting. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi tantangan-tantangan keamanan lingkungan yang dihadapi oleh negara-negara kepulauan Pasifik, memetakan kerja sama yang sudah dilakukan antara Indonesia dengan kawasan Pasifik, dan mengelaborasi mengapa kerja sama ini penting. Penelitian ini mengandalkan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui studi literatur. Penelitian ini berpendapat bahwa kerja sama yang dilakukan melalui kerangka kerja sama Selatan-Selatan dan Triangulat merupakan upaya untuk memperkuat peran Indonesia dalam menjalin hubungan dengan PICs dan untuk mengatasi tantangan lingkungan.
