Alliance for Transformative Action on Climate and Health (ATACH), 2025

In Indonesia, village health adaptation Indonesia has empowered local leadership to drive community-based adaptation to climate change. Village governments and community groups collaborate to integrate resilience measures into health and environmental practices, addressing threats like flooding, heat events, and waterborne diseases. Efforts include participatory vulnerability assessments, climate-responsive health education, and strengthened early warning systems linked to local health outreach. Leaders facilitate collective planning, resource allocation, and scaling of nature-based solutions—such as improved water storage and sanitation—to reduce disease exposure. This approach fosters ownership, equity, and sustainability by centering adaptation strategies in community decision-making and local context. It demonstrates how inclusive, locally-led adaptation can reinforce village health resilience to climate shocks.
