Abstract

The rising seas caused by climate change present significant challenges to coastal communities worldwide, particularly in vulnerable regions like Banyuwangi, Indonesia. This paper examines the intersection of climate change adaptation strategies and their socio-economic and environmental impacts in Banyuwangi’s coastal zones. By analysing government policies, community initiatives, the study highlights the region’s effort to address sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and biodiversity loss. It further explores how these localised contributed to Indonesia’s broader resilience and ASEAN frameworks against climate change. The findings emphasise the importance of community engagement, innovative policies, and multi-sectoral collaboration to mitigate the risks posed by rising seas, ensuring the sustainability of coastal livelihoods and ecosystems. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on climate adaptation, offering actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in similar place across the Southeast Asia region.
