Abstract:
Indonesia has been the center of attention in the current debate of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and degradation .Over the past decade it is regarded as the country with the third country of highest emissions although there is considerable debate and uncertainty over the figures. Recently, Indonesia has been taking an active role in the discussion on fair and efficient mechanisms and economic incentives to reduce emissions. Unfortunately, credible carbon accounting system that should serve as the basis carbon incentives negotiation is still not available. More over, data to calculate historic emission as a basis for reference emission level setting are known to have high uncertainty. Through ALREDDI (Accountability and Local Level Initiative to Reduce Emission from Deforestation and Degradation in Indonesia) project funded by European Union (EU), we assist Indonesian government in accounting for land-use based greenhouse gas emissions.
