    Abstract

    akarta, 16 September 2013 The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in collaboration with Urban and Regional Development Institute (URDI), National Council on Climate Change (DNPI), National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) and Semarang City Government will be holding a national workshop in Semarang this 17 to 18 October 2013 with the theme: Population Dynamics and Climate Change in Indonesia. Government of Indonesia has started to explore incorporating strategic links between population dynamics and climate change in its national response to climate change. UNFPA has identified a strategy to address emerging population issues as part of priorities in the core programme area of Population and Development. There were several technical reports have been published by UNFPA among others are: Population Dynamics and Climate Change in Indonesia: Mobilizing for a Sustainable Future (2011) ; Policy Memo on Population Dynamics and Human Dimension of Climate Change in Indonesia (August , 2012) and Urbanization, Demographic and Adaptation to Climate Change in Semarang, Indonesia (September, 2013). The Policy Memo presents a preliminary understanding of evidence based on how population dynamics which interrelated both population growth and composition - may contribute in accelerating greenhouse gas emissions (GRK) in Indonesia due to fossil fuels consumptions. Demographic perspective helped to integrate all dimensions of climate change - economic, political, social, cultural and demographic - into a common framework that has been used in the policy formulation process.
