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.
Owing to this condition, UKP-PPP and BP-REDD + had developed a roadmap 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.
The roadmap is done and now the team is continuing with the implementation of the roadmap. Beyond 2014, the team is planning to continue the activities in the five national parks (Kerinci Seblat, Tesso Nilo, Sebangau, Kutai and Kayan Mentarang) and expanding the program to two more areas namely Donggala and West Papua.
