133 Jakarta Climate Adaptation Tools (JCAT) Summary Background and motivation Major floods have become commonplace in Jakarta. For example, during the period in which this project was carried out, major flooding occurred in both 2013 and 2014. The flood in January 2013 was one of the most severe on re- cord, and reportedly caused economic losses of ca. US$ 3billion; 47 fatalities; and the damage or destruction of at least 100,000 houses. Historical records show that flooding per se is not a new problem in Jakarta, and that flooding has occurred throughout the city’s history. However, the impacts of flooding have increased in recent decades, as a result of changes in both physical (e.g. land 7 subsidence and erosion) and socioeconomic (e.g. population growth and urban expansion) drivers. Moreover, the future flood problems in Jakarta may poten- tially be exacerbated due to climatic change. Jakarta Climate Adaptation Tools (JCAT) In response, the project Jakarta Climate Adaptation Tools (JCAT) was set up to contribute to scientific knowledge and the development of methods and tools to assess flood risk in Jakarta. This report summarises the main findings of JCAT. The specific aims of JCAT are: • To contribute knowledge and capacity building on flood risk and cli- mate change in Jakarta, including the training of 2 PhD candidates; • To develop and improve methods and tools for assisting in decision- making on flood risk adaptation, including flood risk assessment and socioeconomic evaluation methods that can serve as a basis for plan- ning and communication with stakeholders and the integration of spa- tial planning and water management; • To improve flood risk information by incorporating scenarios of future changes in physical and socioeconomic conditions; • To assess the impacts of several adaptation strategies in terms of costs and benefits in order to assist in identifying solutions for reducing the risk of flooding; • To disseminate results to stakeholders in Jakarta, and more broadly to scientists and practitioners in other delta cities worldwide. Main outcomes JCAT has contributed to knowledge and capacity building in three main ways, namely through education, workshops and joint research
