Sea level rise because of global climate change is underway, causing substantial threats for many coastal areas in the world. The threats such as displacement of people and disruptions of coastal habitats and environments are more immense in Indonesia – an archipelagic state possessing roughly 17,000 islands – as it is vulnerable geographically and economically. However, movement of people and coastal habitats and environments to rescue themselves can be considered an effort of adaptation as if it is succeeded. Thus, it needs for to be prepared and strengthened. Using a literature analysis by collecting and selecting data and information regarding to climate change, especially rising sea level and its adaptation in Indonesia, the author finds several facts and ways to strengthen migration processes. There are many issues that need for attention such as economy and livelihood, land availability, water security, food security, social – culture, infrastructure, health and the environment. To prepare and strengthen this adaptation (migration) processes, there are several measures can be done regarding to people impacted (get displaced), host communities and coastal habitats and environments. There are also some roles should be taken by governments to support and enhance the success of the migration.
