| Abstract: |
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+), is a policy approach
that contains cross-cutting issues and in many developing countries it affects development
programs and activities. REDD+ aims to provide positive incentives for those countries who
conduct activities for: reducing emissions from deforestation; reducing emissions from
forest degradation; preserving carbon stocks; enhancing stocks of forest carbon; and
sustaining the management of forests.
Indonesia has adopted policies on REDD+ through several processes of negotiation in
international fora, and the adoption is followed by a series of discussions both in the home
country and at the regional Asia-Pacific level. The policies are manifested in terms of
regulations and the establishment of working groups and new agreements, in addition to
demonstration activities supported through bilateral or multilateral collaboration.
This paper documents the process of Indonesia’s engagement on REDD+ policy through a
historical perspective since the 1990’s until the present, the institutional and legal
framework of REDD+ in Indonesia and the strategy to implement REDD+. |
