Abstract

Climate change adaptation is globally arranged in many agreements. Those regimes realize the importance of small islands and vulnerable community as the entities at prime risk. However, as climate change progresses slowly, developing countries do not put this as a priority compared to other natural calamities like earthquake of volcanic eruption. Ternate authority as a government of sub-national small island is prone to climate hazard, but practically not prepared to defend the island against climate disaster. Despite receiving an award as a climate-resilient city, a wider governance aspect is left incapable to build an early initiative to construct a solid governance mode to manage its vulnerability. Through a set of indicators of policy approach, institutional capability, and social capability, this research finds that local governance and local politics in small island government is not supporting the establishment of an adaptable government, particularly on the context of decentralization. Technical capabilities in Ternate is present as a best practice to respond to volcanic eruption and tsunami, but not to the threat of climate change. Eventually, the case of Ternate highlights the importance to position subnational small islands according to its unique feature as a frontline to climate change adaptation, both in global and national context. Decentralization of governance does not automatically intensify the initiative of Ternate government to adapt with climate change imperatives.

Abstract

Abstract Decentralizationin Indonesia that took place in the late of 1990s have changed power relations between central and local government. Now local governments have been enjoying significant political and economical powers to manage local affairs. The implementation of development during decentralization that strongly relies on the idea of economic development provides opportunities for global corporations to participate in local development process. As collaborative works between local government and global corporation on the implementation of economic development contribute to the deepening of global corporation into local economic development, they also give significant impacts to the environment as demonstrated by the case of Gunung Tumpang Pitu in Banyuwangi, East Java. It is argued that development without strong awareness on economic sovereignty and environmental protection will lead to environmental degradation and economic fragility.                Keywords: Decentralization, development, environment, forestry, global corporations.Â
