Risk and vulnerability assessment of Climate change on Health in Indonesia

Purpose of the assignment

The overall objective of this assignment is to support the national government (Ministry of Health, Directorate of Environmental Health) to carry out the analysis of the risk and vulnerability assessment of climate change in the health sector, focusing on the six priority areas that were outlined in the Profile Book published in December 2021.
The specific purposes of the assignment are as follows:
a. Identify the resources/health systems/populations that are most likely to be affected by the changing climate factors
b. Analyze susceptibility and disease risks that are sensitive to climate change, including projections of changes in climatic factors that have an impact on 1) vector-borne and zoonotic diseases (malaria, dengue), 2) water-borne diseases (diarrhea of children under five), and 3) respiratory diseases (pneumonia of children under five/acute respiratory infections) in several regions in Indonesia

Scope of Work is as follow:

 a. To conduct a literature review of data and information related to the factors that shape the risk of climate change on health in each disease group (including hazard, exposure, and vulnerability factors)
b. To compile data (database) on the factors that shape the risk of climate change on health in each disease group (additional variables from the results of the previous study in 2021 can be adopted for the risk and vulnerability assessment)
c. To carry out the climate risk and vulnerability assessment of disease incidence that are following the guidelines of the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation No. 7 of 2018 concerning Guidelines for Assessment of Vulnerabilities, Risk, and Impact of Climate Change, including:
i. Mapping of the spatial distribution of climate projections based on data from the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG)
ii. Mapping of the spatial distribution of regional vulnerability to disease incidence (at subnational levels: regency/city).
iii. Mapping of the spatial distribution of vulnerability and disease risk levels that are sensitive to climate change (regency/city level)
d. To design workshops for consultation within the Ministry of Health and other Ministries/institutions to support the accuracy of the data and information produced
e. To conduct field surveys for data validation; locations for the field validation will be determined by the analysis results, however, potential location candidates are as follows; West Java, East Nusa Tenggara, and Papua.
f. To develop the final report on the climate risk and vulnerability assessment of disease incidence following with the MoEF guidelines
g. To develop the report infographics for the presentation and to provide the policy brief

The geographical scope of work: The core component of the assignment will be based in Jakarta and conducted in close collaboration with the MOH (Directorate of Environmental Health and researchers) at a national level. Field validation may be conducted in several regions including West Java, East Nusa Tenggara, and Papua (locations of field surveys subject to change).
