1 Progress towards establishment of national REDD+ SIS in Indonesia Doddy S. Sukadri Indonesia National Council on Climate Change (the DNPI) Nairobi, 3 April 2012

2 Outline Status of REDD+ on the ground activities Translating Safeguard into Indonesia SFM Practices Proposed REDD+ SIS institution Concluding Remarks

3 Indonesia is a rapidly developing country, the 3rd world s largest of tropical forest Indonesian forests and peatlands store 19 Gt carbon above and 36 Gt carbon below ground Forest cover <15% Forest cover 16% to 30% Forest cover 31% to 50% Forest cover > 50% Republic of Indonesia Key figures Archipelago of 17,000 islands, 3,500 miles wide World s fourth most populous country, comprising of over 500 tribes who speak more than 700 ethnic languages, living in five major islands, including Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. Home to over 10% of the planet s diversity of plants and animals, including orangutan, elephants, tigers, rhinoceros, a thousand species of birds, and thousands of plant species. 70% of land mass is designated as forest area, and 30% is privately-owned lands; Presently more than 30 REDD Demo Activities are in place. 3

4 REDD+ Demonstration Activities -DA Proposed AusAID 2 nd Demonstration Activity GTZ Merang: ( 1,445,255; ). Incl: - Measures to restore forest areas - Strategies and structures for peat forest management Integrated fire management scheme. FORCLIME: ( 7 Millions; ) Innovative designs for REDD demonstration activities incl. establishment of FMUs, TNC: Demonstration activities: improved forest management, forest restoration, oil palm swap, land use planning, policies and enforcement Jambi Musi Banyuasin Berau Malinau Kapuas Hulu Kapuas Central Sulawesi KFCP: AUD 30 Million - Reducing deforestation & forest degradation (incl. rehabilitation of peatland); - Monitoring & carbon accounting; - Payment mechanism: - Readiness at provincial and district level. Meru Betiri Jember ITTO: USD 540K ( ) - Institutional setting to prevent deforestation; - Technology in restoration and rehabilitation of PSF; - Demonstration activities with the plantation of indigenous species. East & Central Lombok KOICA: USD 5 Million ( ) Joint research and implementation of pilot project on afforestation/reforestation CDM project and REDD. UNREDD: USD 1.5 Million ( ) - Capacity for spatial socio-economic planning incorporating REDD; - Empowered local stakeholders to benefit from REDD; - Multi-stakeholder-endorsed district REDD plans

5 Seven principles of Safeguard 1) Consistent w/ objectives of national forest programme and relevant international convention and agrements; 2) Transparent and effective national forest gov t structure, taking into account national legislation and souverignty; 3) Respect the knowlegde and rights of indigenous people, taking into account int l obligations, nat.circumstances and laws, and UNDRIP; 4) Full and effective participation of key stakeholders, in particular indegenous people and local communities; 5) Consistent w/ conservation of natural forests and bio-diversity, and enhance social and environmental benefits; 6) Address the risks of reversals; 7) Reduce displacement of emissions.

6 Translating the Safeguard into Indonesia SFM practices S A F E G U A R D Avoiding Deforestation (Moratorium of concession permit, policy measures, etc (1) Sustainable Forest, (2) Community Welfare (1) Sustainable Forest, (2) Community Welfare (3) Emission reduction + Biodiversity + PES + Econ.growth Avoiding Forest Degr. ( Reduce Impact Logging, other Silviculture intensive) Maintaining Carbon Stock In the Conservation forest Enhanchement of Carbon Stock (RE, A/R) 1 2 SFM 3 Reduce the emission SFM Plus, Net sink / Balance Increase carbon removal capacity Add carbon sink and storage capacity To be reviewed and fixed!

7 Five steps of building the Indonesia REDD+ SIS Interpreting the COP decisions on the Safeguard into national context; Undertaking policy analysis on existing safeguards-related laws, regulation, and other instruments to comply with national plan and satisfy the COP s decision; Searching for the most suitable structure and mechanism of REDD+ SIS for Indonesia: Designing and establishing a reliable institution for REDD+ SIS, and Setting out the principle, criteria and indicator for safeguard implementation.

8 Proposed Institutional Setting for REDD+ SIS Sub-National/Site-level National International Data & Information on Safeguard implementation Board of Multi Stakeholders Safeguard/ Climate Change Focal Point UNFCCC Secretariat Provincial levels National REDD+ SIS Respected Line Ministry/REDD+ Agency District level Site /subdistrict Sub-National SIS-REDD+ Sub-National levels SIS-REDD+ Direction Auspices Facilitation Verification Board of Multi Stakeholders = During the 1st and 2nd phases of REDD (readiness) = After the full implementation of REDD Plus

9 Roles and responsibilities National REDD+ SIS Clearing house of incoming safeguard information at national level; Data consolidation, validation, and verification; Reporting to the Focal Point in a regular basis. Sub- National REDD+ SIS Clearing house of incoming safeguard information at Provincial/District level; Data and information collection and verification at subnational level; Data reconsiliation obtained at site level; Safeguard monitoring and supervision to the site level; Reporting to National level

10 Roles and responsibilities (con t) Board of Multi-stakeholders Representing government, local community, bussiness entities, NGOs, and Academician Communication and coordination with relevant agencies; Advisory body and conflict resolution; As a liason for information on safeguard implementation; Monitoring and evaluation, and making recommendation for further implementation.

11 Safeguard Principles, Criteria and Indicators Principles Criteria Indicator Verification Consistent w/ objectives of national forest programme and relevant international convention and agrements Relevant with articles in UNFCCC and satisfy COP decisions on Safeguard Indonesia law number 4, 1994 on ratification of the UNFCCC; In line with the Indonesia s Forest Program Full and effective participation of key stakeholders, in particular indegenous people and local communities

12 Capacity building is an utmost important in making the REDD+ SIS works properly. At the site level would be the most critical one, while at the national level would take its role as the clearing house management. Concluding remark Safeguards are nothing new to Indonesia, and in general adequate instruments exist to provide basis for developing appropriate Principles, Criteria, and Indicators The challange: Inclusion and integration of existing system into the new mechanism that enable the provision of reliable and sustainable information relating to safeguards. SIS-REDD+ that will be established should be tailored with local condition, implementability, avoiding overburdened, and satisfy international requirements.
