Legal materials were purposively selected from international instruments, ICJ documents,&nbsp;United Nations (UN) human rights documents, and Indonesian climate-related regulations. The materials were analysed through legal interpretation and comparative assessment to identify regulatory alignment, gaps, and implementation challenges.<br><strong>Results:&nbsp;</strong>The ICJ Advisory Opinion, Paris Agreement,&nbsp;Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) General Recommendation No. 37, and&nbsp;Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) General Comment No. 26 establish a reinforcing framework of obligations. However, Indonesia’s climate adaptation policies remain limited by insufficient sex-disaggregated data, weak institutional integration of women and child protection perspectives, and minimal participation of women’s groups in regional adaptation planning.<br><strong>Conclusions:&nbsp;</strong>A significant gap remains between Indonesia’s international commitments and the practical protection of women’s and children’s rights in climate-vulnerable regions. Strengthening gender-responsive and child-sensitive climate governance is essential to improve policy effectiveness.<br><strong>Limitations:&nbsp;</strong>This normative study relies on documentary sources and does not include empirical data from affected communities.<br><strong>Contributions:&nbsp;</strong>This study provides an integrated legal framework connecting international climate obligations with gender and child rights standards and offers policy implications for inclusive climate governance.</p> Naila Salsabila, Rudi Natamiharja Copyright (c) 2026 Jurnal Kajian Hukum Kontemporer https://journals.goodwoodpub.com/index.php/jkhk/article/view/7499 Thu, 17 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000
