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 and the regional facilitators 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 Riau, we need to hire one co facilitator
who will be responsible for managing the conflict in the area of Tesso Nilo National Park.
