Background
Indonesia is one of the world's largest emitters of CO2, largely
from "agriculture, forestry and other land use." Over the past
five years, Indonesia's annual rate of deforestation has been one of
the largest contributors to Indonesia's current and expected future
emissions under the business-as-usual scenario. They also represent the
largest opportunities to abate emissions.
On May 26, 2010 the governments of Indonesia and the Kingdom of Norway
signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish a Partnership for REDD+ to
tackle greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest and peat
land degradation. As part of the partnership, Norway will provide up to
USD 1 billion to Indonesia's REDD+ efforts. Management of the
partnership was entrusted to a National REDD+ Task Force, which was
established by Presidential Decree No.19 in September 2010 and further
reconstituted by Presidential Decree No.15 in September 2011.
Following the establishment of the National REDD+ Task Force, the
Government of Indonesia requested the UN Secretary General to consider
establishing appropriate institutional structures in Indonesia to
support the National REDD+ Task Force and other allied actors, both
government and civil society . In view of the enormity and complexity of
the task, the Secretary General responded positively to the request and
following high level inter-agency negotiations coordinated by the Chair
of the UN Development Group, an MoU was signed between the United
Nations System and the Government of Indonesia in September 2011 to
establish the UN Office for REDD+ Coordination in Indonesia (UNORCID)
with a comprehensive mandate to support the Government of Indonesia and
numerous stakeholders in implementing Indonesia's REDD+ and related
priorities. Following the signing of the MoU between the UN System and
Indonesia, UNDP, UNEP, UNESCO, ILO, UNOPS, UNODC and FAO have joined as
additional parties to the MoU. At this time, UN Women, UNIDO and several
other UN Agencies are also actively considering their joining the MoU.
UNORCID has a finite life-span that, unless renewed by mutual agreement
between the parties to the MoU, expires in September 2015. Based in the
UNORCID Head Office in Jakarta, the National Coordination Officer will
work directly under the supervision of the Director and in close
collaboration with other heads of sections, other members of UNORCID
team, UN Agencies undertaking REDD+ activities, government entities and
relevant civil society stakeholders both in the public and the private
sectors to advance the REDD+ agenda throughcoordination support.
