In this ASPI explainer, Robert Glasser, head of ASPI’s Climate and Security Policy Centre, and Anastasia Kapetas, The Strategist’s national security editor, outline the risks of sea-rise level in the Indonesian archipelago and the consequences for Indonesia, and Australia, of climate inaction now and into the future. They detail the impacts of rising water temperatures on fisheries and the cascading effects from climate change we can expect to see in our region.
