The links between biodiversity change and climate change and how this affects humanity have increasingly become an eminent subject as the recent joint assessment of United Nations intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) and intergovernmental platform on biodiversity and ecosystem services (IPBES) has addressed. Our research is interested in the governance of nature and human relations in times of climate change, notably between tropical marine system and its social system. The idea of scale is key in these relations through which institutional arrangements across level of social organizations are likely to reflect, and be reflected on, processes across level of natural organizations. For example, in marine protected areas (MPAs) or public measures for marine conservation in tropical countries.

The research is a cooperation between The Center for Climate and Sustainable Finance (CCSF) of The Institute for Sustainable Earth and Resources at University of Indonesia, and The Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV), the Netherlands Institute of Ecology, and Wageningen University and Research.
