1 ASEAN/Indonesia Perspective toward REDD commitment Prepared By: Doddy S. Sukadri, Muhammad Farid, Ina Nisrina, erpan Faryadi, and Ari Rompas (Indonesia) For The Workshop on REDD After Copenhagen- The Way Forward Hue City, Vietnam, 8 March 2010

2 Outline Introduction Interpretation of Copenhagen Accord Burning issues from SBSTA and AWG LCA LULUCF and NAMAs Toward Cancun : Key concerns for next negotiation

3 ASEAN s s role. Biodiversity value. Cultural value (local and indigenous communities);. High demand for economic development;. The need for ASEAN countries to have a common platform

4 Missing data

5 While 71% of deforestation is taking place within designated forest area, the rest is happening outside of the forest lands (case of Indonesia) Area of Deforestation Thousand ha Conservation -43 Conversion -197 Land use unknown -1 Undesignated forest area -309 Production -515 Protection -19 Total forest loss

6 Suspected to contribute > 50% of global emission from the decomposition 100% Area Carbon emission Indonesia Other tropical countries 1 RoW 2 1 Malaysia, Papua New Guinea; Democratic Republik of Congo, Brazil 2 Canada, Russia, Scandinavia, USA SOURCE: Hooijer et al 2006; Wetlands International; Indonesia GHG Abatement Cost Curve

7 The Copenhagen Accord is short, but opens the door for real change... From the Kyoto Protocol Emission reductions focused on developed world (Annex 1 countries) No coverage of forestry and agriculture International funding limited to CDM/JI mechanism System based on compliance; reporting against obligations UNFCCC 80% of the game Environmental treaty to the Copenhagen Accord Covers mitigation in all countries, i.e., both developed and developing world Covers all sectors, specifically recognizing importance of forestry and land-use Provides $30b in fast-start funding ( ); acknowledges need for $100b financing by 2020 System based on self-interested commitments within a framework for performance transparency UNFCCC 20% of the game Economic transformation programmes Non legally binding

8 Burning issues on AWG LCA Objectives, scope and guiding principles: Unclear target and timeframe; REDD+ is OK, but has not been clear at the ground level. Means of implementation: Unclear mechanism between fund and market based MRV in action and supports: General guidance difficult to apply at sub national level; Historical data is rarely available in most dev ng countries Institutional arrangement: Financing architecture is not clear enough

9 Burning issues on SBSTA Methodological guidance: Capacity building in relation with technology transfer; Institutional arrangement should be in power at the readiness phase (especially at the demonstration scale); Question on linkage between activities and cost to come up at standard operational cost. REL: Historical data set would be difficult to apply; Projected emission for dev ng countries is generally uncertain due to economic and social dynamics.

10 LULUCF vs NAMAs REDD vs NAMAs: REDD is an ongoing process, while NAMAs is a new scheme; As tropical countries, REDD should be in place as the first priority. AFOLU vs NAMAs: AFOLU should be part of NAMAs; SBSTA should help a workable MRV guidelines for AFOLU

11 The road to Cancun: Key concerns REL and Carbon accounting & monitoring: Methodology for setting REL at national and sub national (each country has a unique method that should be recognized universally) Sharing and lesson learned in setting the REL and Carbon accounting & monitoring Building capacity at national and sub national; SBSTA should produce workable guidelines for LCA decisions Financial flows: Setting mechanism and principles for resource and disbursement of REDD funds from international to national level; Benefit sharing mechanism at the national and sub national level General public capacity building: Developing system and strategy to strengthen institution for REDD at all level of government, and the rest of stakeholders; Governance issue and public awareness and participation.
