2. SUSTAINABLE LIVELYHOOD
So far, poverty is only seen as a socio-economic problem. In fact, the threat of climate change has a serious impact on poverty. According to FAO (2018), by 2030 it is predicted that climate change will increase the number of poor people by 100 million and increase food prices by 12 percent. thus, the issues of poverty, environment and climate change must be seen as inseparable. For this reason, the mainstreaming of sustainable development must be strengthened, so that development policies and environmental policies must be pro-poor and poverty reduction policies must be pro-environmental.

3. CLIMATE ACTION
An increase in air temperature causes more water to evaporate. This is where the potential for a water crisis will occur. The availability of water in Indonesia is decreasing from year to year. Of the six major islands in Indonesia, Java has the lowest water availability. By 2035, according to LIPI's prediction, the availability of water on the most populous island is estimated at 1,118 cubic meters per capita per year. Meanwhile, the minimum air supply standard is 2,000 cubic meters per capita per year. Whereas the population of Java Island is 56.10 percent or 151.59 million people with an area of 7 percent of the entire territory of Indonesia. Water quality is also expected to decline significantly.
