| dc.description.abstract | Although many local civil society organisations (CSOs) involve in reducing the
impact of climate change, the issue has been reported by a limited study. This paper addresses
the gap by investigating the role of local CSOs in helping to anticipate the effect of climate
change. This study looked into the case of Riau because it has many CSOs concerned with
environmental problems. The objectives of this research are to classify the environmental CSOs
in Riau and analyze their contribution to climate change resilience. Using a qualitative
approach, the data were collected by using interviews on a series of participants, including
CSO’s activists, government officials, academicians, and community leaders. We reveal that
local CSOs can be classified as conservation, advocation, empowerment, and conflict
resolution. Along with their own and government programs, the CSOs have been contributed
to tackling climate change by ensuring forest and peatland preservation. The theoretical and
practical contributions of the study are elaborated. | en_US |
