ABSTRACT
As an archipelagic country, Indonesia is vulnerable to the impact of climate change. Prolonged droughts, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and heavy rainfall leading to floods, are a few examples of climate change impacts. In turn, these may have a harmful effect on agriculture, resulting in threats to food security (Jotzo et al. 2009). These potential negative environmental impacts, coupled with the fact that Indonesia is one of the three largest greenhouse gas emitters in the world, have prompted the Indonesian government to place a high priority on climate change issues and to aim to reduce emissions by 26 per cent from a business as usual scenario by 2020 and by 41 per cent if enough international support is available (Resosudarmo and Yusuf 2009).
