Background
|
|
Context of the
REDD+ initiative:
Indonesia is the third largest emitter
of carbon dioxide (CO2) and the world’s largest emitter from agriculture, forestry
and other land use. Over the past five years, Indonesia’s annual
deforestation rate has averaged around 1 million hectares, which contributes
to an estimated 87 percent of Indonesia’s annual emissions. In response
to this situation, in 2009, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, made a voluntary commitment to the
world to reduce emissions as much as 26 percent under a
business-as-usual scenario or up to 41 percent with international
support by 2020.
According to the Second National
Communication from Indonesia to the UNFCCC, Indonesia is expected to emit
around 2.9 million metric tons (gigatons) by 2020 under the business-as-usual
scenario. A commitment to reduce that amount by 26 percent would mean a
reduction of 0.8 gigatons, while 41 percent would amount to a reduction
of 1.2 gigatons. A reduction from an expected 2.9 to 1.7 gigatons
by 2020 is a challenging commitment for a country aiming to maintain its
7 percent annual growth rate. Nevertheless, this commitment has been
translated into a comprehensive National Action Plan known as RAN-GRK
(PP 61/2011).
The National Action Plan for the
Reduction of Green-house Gas Emissions (RAN-GRK) estimates that 87 percent of
the emission-reduction target - approximately 1 gigaton - relates
directly to the forestry and peat land sectors and, to address this, the
government has adopted an incentive mechanism to improve management of the
country’s vast forest resources while supporting climate-change mitigation. This
mechanism, known as REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest
Degradation), has five primary objectives: (a) reduction of
deforestation; (b) reduction of forest degradation;
(c) conservation of carbon stocks; (d) sustainable forest management;
and (e) carbon stocks enhancement.
On 26 May 2010 the Governments of
Indonesia and Norway signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish a REDD+
Partnership. The first phase of this REDD+ Partnership (Phase 1) was to
establish an agency with the capacity to implement and manage REDD+ projects
initially in the pilot province, Central Kalimantan, and
progressively in other priority provinces across Indonesia. The establishment of REDD+ Agency in Indonesia through
Presidential Decree No.62, 2013 and the appointment of Heru Prasetyo as the
head of the agency have marked the second phase of REDD+ Programme. Entering
the phase, the REDD+ Agency is commencing intensive relations with its
stakeholders, including the provincial governments, relevant line ministries
and the Norway Government as the donor country.
Context of this ToR:
One of the important issues in the
governance of forests and peat land is the lack of institutional capacity for
conflict resolution, especially in the case of land-based conflict
resolution. These issues include the weak legislation, low capacity of the
related institutions, and lack of coordination among ministries/institutions
and local governments involved in the conflict resolution. The conflicts make
legal certainty over land ownership difficult to realize. In the end, it is
difficult to provide legal protection for good implementation of conservation
programmes, business activities and other activities undertaken by the
government, communities and employers. Thus, in the context of REDD+, the
absence of certainty affects directly the rate of deforestation/forest
degradation and peat land that are still difficult to decrease.
Regarding with
this condition, UKP-PPP and BP-REDD + intend to prepare a road map in order
to strengthen the institutional settlement of land conflicts in Indonesia.
With the Roadmap, it is expected that we are able to map out various
institutions that have similar tasks in resolving the conflict in the best
way.
To produce the roadmap, there are
some activities need to be done. For sure, the roadmap will be developed by
the method resulted from the field test. The conflicts focused by BP-REDD+
are the ones related to National Parks and the cases of forest gazettement.
Both of these involve the process of verification and recognition from the
third parties. From this process, it is expected that learning materials and
concrete impacts which give positive contribution to the conflicts could be
obtained.
The areas
selected for the field test are Tesso Nilo National Park, Kerinci Seblat
National Park, Kutai Timur National Park, Sebangau National Park, and Kayan
Mentarang National Park. As for the forest gazettement, the conflict
resolution will be tested on the mechanism of claim and verification in
Barito Selatan.
The purposes of
resolution conflict programme are to give contribution to the conflict
resolution in five national parks and to assist the completion of forest
gazettement in Barito Selatan; and to develop roadmap to strengthen some
institutions and their capacities in order to resolve the land conflict in
Indonesia, in relations with REDD+. Moreover, there is a necessity to assist
the national conflict resolution team to facilitate the conflict resolutions
in 5 selected national parks, monitoring tasks and to identify the conflict
actors and the conflict resolution reform to support the road map mentioned
and accelerate the implementation of conflict resolution.
As the
activities on conflict resolution are going to be implemented very soon in
the aforementioned national parks, it is urgent to hire one person who will support
us in the field. In East Kalimantan we need to hire one facilitator who will
be responsible for managing the conflict in the area of Kayan Mentarang National
Park.
