Indonesia - Delivering for Communities with the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance

- Produced by Z Zurich Foundation, in partnership with Mercy Corps Indonesia
In this episode from Mercy Corps' Climate Week 'Voices from the Field' series, we highlight the story of Tarudi, his wife Gunashi, and their three children, who reside along the north coast of Java, Indonesia. Their family, like many others, relies on milkfish breeding for their livelihood. However, increased coastal and river flooding-intensified by climate change-poses severe risks to their income sources. Through initiatives like the Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance, Mercy Corps Indonesia is taking proactive steps to bolster community resilience. Innovations such as floating nets for fish during floods and training on inland pond construction are part of a broader strategy to safeguard and sustain local economies against climate impacts. Learn how these efforts are transforming the lives of over a million people in Central Java. #mercycorpsclimateweek
