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).
On top of this National Action Plan,
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono issue Presidential Decree No. 10 in 2011,
a moratorium on the award of new licenses in primary
natural forests and peat lands, announced in May 2011. This is an important
step for improving management of forest resources by “pausing”
business-as-usual and allowing time to implement reforms. The moratorium continued in 2013 by issuing
Presidential Decree No. 6. REDD+ National Agency together with President’s
Delivery Unit is obliged to monitor and report to the President of Republic
Indonesia on the its progress. A set of action plans of this regulation was
