The book is an academic paper on climate change finance, aiming to provide input that can be used by the government of Indonesia and the civil society in climate change negotiations to encourage adaptation funding that prioritizes people's safety and that ensures cross-sectoral gender equity.

The book elaborates how domestic and global constellations affect the ongoing climate finance in Indonesia. The domestic constellation include forest clearing by forest concession (HPH) companies and the establishment of palm plantations, which have caused a lot of conflict among the government, investors, the elites and indigenous / local peoples, as well as carbon trade issue, which is considered to benefit large investors only.
