Abstract
Industrial estates in Indonesia are in a paradoxical position because they are not only drivers of greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation but also highly vulnerable to climate-related hazards. This thesis explores this dual nexus, positioning industries as victims of increasingly frequent floods, storms, and droughts, while also recognizing their role in amplifying climate risks through emissions, water usage, and land-use change. By examining the theoretical foundations of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA), the study highlights how these two fields share the objectives of reducing risk and enhancing resilience. However, it also identifies institutional fragmentation, inconsistent policies, and a lack of political will as barriers to the integration in Indonesia. The study highlights lessons from global experiences in structural adaptation, governance reform, and multi-stakeholder collaboration that can be adopted in Indonesian strategies. In Indonesia’s rapidly expanding industrial sector, the study identifies significant vulnerabilities to hydro-meteorological risks, particularly floods and droughts, and advocates for the integration of DRR and CCA into industrial policy and infrastructure planning. It is also argued that effective adaptation techniques, such as resilient energy and water infrastructure, industrial symbiosis, and urban-industrial integration, are vital not only for protecting economic growth but also for ensuring competitive and sustainable industrial development.
