Abstract

he metropolitan area of Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, has a long history of flooding, which persists in today’s megacity. Triggered by the severe flooding in early 2020, members of the Indonesian diaspora community in The Netherlands held the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) ‘Dealing with Greater Jakarta Floods in Times of Climate Change’ on 27 February 2020 at the Indonesian Embassy in The Hague,- The Netherlands. One of the outcomes of this FGD is a general policy brief with recommendations to address the flooding problem. This Policy Brief Series continues the content of the initial policy brief but aims to provide more in-depth insights into the recommendations. The Policy Brief Series is the work of a multidisciplinary group of Indonesian and Dutch researchers and professionals to provide policy- relevant, timely, and knowledge-based insights and knowledge related to Jakarta’s flooding in the context of climate change. The aims of the Policy Briefs are threefold:
1. To provide meaningful insights to policymakers and
decision-makers in relevant public and private sectors, as well as civil society;
2. To encourage the development of an Indonesian-Netherlands bilateral cooperation platform; and
3. To trigger a public debate on this important topic in Indonesia, The Netherlands and beyond.
