2 I. 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 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 climatechange 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) enhancing carbon stocks. Indonesia s persistence, which is supported by the Government of Norway since the signing of Letter of Intent (LoI) on 26 May 2010, is reflected since the preparation of REDD+ mechanism operationalization by REDD+ Task Force in until REDD+ Agency finally established in December 2013, to become the institution s platform as well as becoming a component to further coordinate actions outside the business-as-usual approach to reduce deforestation and emission. Soon, the REDD+ implementation will enter its 2 nd phase. Institutional development will be run at the national level in parallel with the program implementation in 11 pilot Provinces across Indonesia, including Aceh, West Sumatera, Riau, Jambi, South Sumatera, Central Kalimantan, East Kalimantan, West Kalimantan, Central Sulawesi, Papua and West Papua. Besides materializing the action plans and program applications at the province, region and community level supported by an established working system and tools, within this 3-year phase the REDD+ Agency is also aiming at transformation, expansion and program replication. Context of this ToR: REDD+ Agency is responsible in carrying out all efforts to help reducing 26%-41% of total national emission as declared by the President in As an entity, REDD+ Agency needs to shape its presence and reputation to create a sustainable environment to land its strategies, to implement its works, to win public trust and to accomplish its mission. With the note that REDD+ Agency works across multiple stakeholders at different level, serving different interest and must take different approaches to each of its audience group.
