Gender Inequality, Climate Change, and Regional Development in Indonesia explores how gender disparities, environmental vulnerabilities, and regional inequalities intersect across the archipelago. The first section examines how women’s employment, health, and access to infrastructure influence poverty and opportunity, highlighting the need for gender-sensitive policies that address both economic and environmental dimen sions of inequality. The second section focuses on climate governance in Eastern Indo nesia, analyzing challenges in mangrove management and evaluating blue carbon initia tives through indigenous perspectives. Findings reveal institutional fragmentation and the underrepresentation of cultural and ecological considerations in current strategies. The final section presents innovative models of regional development—from indige nous-led agribusiness in Papua to integrated farming in Bali, the use of satellite data to measure welfare, and a critical assessment of land reform in Aceh. This multidiscipli nary volume offers rich insights and practical recommendations for building inclusive, sustainable development pathways in one of the world’s most diverse and vulnerable nations.
