| Abstract: |
Indonesia is one of the biggest greenhouse gas emitters in the world and more than half of the emissions come from the land use, land cover and forestry (LULUCF) sector
The Government of Indonesia has declared its commitment to unilaterally reduce emissions by 26% by 2020 and by a further 15% with international support. More than 50% of the reduction is to come from LULUCF
Reducing uncertainties in the quantification of past emissions from LULUCF at disaggregated, sub-national levels are instrumental in establishing reference emission levels. Identification of dominant sources and drivers of LULUCF at sub-national level is necessary for developing local strategies to reduce emissions
Through the Accountability and Local Level Initiative for Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Degradation (ALLREDDI) project, two basic data required for calculating greenhouse gas emissions were produced and processed: (1) activity data from spatially explicit, nationwide, land-use and land-cover change analysis; and (2) emission factors for forests across Indonesia derived from the National Forest
Inventory (NFI) database and of other land-use and land-cover types from various databases |
