BNPB Supports Bali in Integrating Disaster Management Plan in the RPJMD 2025–2029

The Bali Provincial Government recently organised a collaborative workshop aimed at integrating disaster management strategies into the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) for 2025–2029. Held from 27-29 August 2025, in Denpasar, this workshop focused on translating the national and regional goals for disaster resilience and climate change into fundamental, actionable strategies.

Recognising the pressing challenges posed by climate change, the Indonesian government prioritises Climate Change Adaptation (CCA), Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as cornerstones of national development. These objectives are integrated into national planning documents, including the RPJPN 2045, RPJMN 2025–2029, the Climate Resilient Development Policy, the Disaster Management Master Plan, and the National Action Plan for Disaster Management.

At the regional level, these essential agendas translate into plans like the RPJMD, the Strategic Plan (Renstra), and the Regional Work Plan (Renja), which aim to drive a cohesive approach to development.

The long-term vision outlined in the 2025–2045 RPJPN identifies clear targets for bolstering resilience against disasters and climate change, anchored by four indicators:

• Achieving a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
• Measuring the proportion of direct economic losses from disasters against GDP.
• Reducing potential economic losses across sectors like marine, coastal, water, agriculture, and health due to climate change.
• Lowering the Disaster Risk Index.

Bali’s Commitment to Progress

The Bali Provincial Government is committed to advancing national policies through the enhancement of regulations and strategic planning, exemplified by:

1. Bali Provincial Regulation No. 12 of 2023 on Disaster Management Implementation.
2. Bali Governor’s Regulation No. 25 of 2024, focusing on Disaster Risk Assessment (KRB) for 2025–2029, which will lay the groundwork for the forthcoming Disaster Management Plan (RPB).
3. The proactive establishment of the Regional Action Plan for Climate Change Adaptation (RAD-API).

As the draft for the Bali Provincial RPJMD for 2025–2029 nears its finalisation, it highlights climate change and disaster management within Goal 6: Achieving Social Security Stability for Communities, and Goal 2: Strengthening Regional Resilience to Disasters and Climate Change.

During the workshop, Drs. Pangarso Suryotomo, M.MB, the Director of Preparedness of BNPB, shared valuable insights on the 2020–2044 Disaster Management Master Plan and the upcoming 2025–2029 National Disaster Management Plan, underscoring the importance of integration of these plans into regional frameworks.

In his remarks, Pangarso stressed the importance of building on the discussions from this workshop to finalise the Bali Provincial Strategic Plan. He emphasised the need for alignment in disaster resilience and climate change objectives across all nine districts and cities in Bali, highlighting the crucial role of SKPD in translating the principles of API and DRR into impactful regional planning efforts.

Furthermore, Pangarso also called for enhanced collaboration among stakeholders, emphasising the need to strengthen the links between villages, local governments, and the national government. Joint efforts across various ministries and institutions, such as BNPB, BMKG, Bappenas, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the Ministry of Villages, the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Ministry of Finance bolster this collaboration. Through the collaborative efforts, it will provide support to devise effective strategies for creating villages that are resilient to climate change and disasters. One pivotal tool in this initiative is the Village Index, designed to guide the integration of Disaster Risk Reduction at the village level.

Supported by the SIAP SIAGA Program—a partnership between Australia and Indonesia for Disaster Risk Management—the workshop aimed to develop a comprehensive Working Document for the Regional Strategic Plan. This document aligns with national objectives for climate- and disaster-resilient development, laying the foundation for actionable programs focused on climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in Bali Province.
