The climate resilience discourse has greatly evolved and begun to see the system as complex and uncertain. As a result, the adaptive capacity is now seen as an important element of long-term adaptation to respond to the complex and uncertain element in climate change. This study analysed whether the quality of adaptive capacity possessed within institutions can allow and encourage the community to adapt to complex and uncertain climate change impact through CBA practice. This study chooses DKI Jakarta, Indonesia, as a case study that is now actively engaged in the national program's so-called climate-village program' (Proklim). This program highly relies on CBA practice for climate adaptation actions. The institutions adaptive capacity investigation undertaken in Malakasari and Cempaka Putih Timur village in DKI Jakarta Province. The institution adaptive capacity is analysed under two layers at the local level: the local government and the community. The findings show that the institutions have not achieved a desirable adaptive capacity state in a way the literature argues. Nevertheless, the existing quality of adaptive capacity within institutions can improve the CBA practice at the neighbourhood level. The analysis uncovers that the difficulty lies more heavily in building adaptive capacity at the community level. The tension between bottom-up and top-down approaches in Proklim implementation seems to hamper the community's ability to improvise, respond more flexibly, and made contextappropriate climate adaptation actions.
