Apart from that, there is landslide, flood, and drought which is very much triggered by climate change.
In this situation sector which has high vulnerability is agriculture and fishery, and this sector still are the largest employers and job creators for 30,4% workers in Indonesia (National Statistic Body, 2018). The most vulnerable groups in this situation are women workers. Women are affected the most by natural disaster and/or climate change, due to their gender role and reproductive healthcare needs.
