Abstract:
Indonesia recently committed itself to implementing a national strategy to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and include conservation (REDD+), creating a new REDD+ agency and an independent monitoring, reporting and validating institution. As this process develops, theWorld Agroforestry Centre is working closely with the Government of Indonesia to increase understanding of all opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from land use. A clear priority is needed on emissions from forest and peatland conversion. Recent data analysis suggests that the loss of woody vegetation (and the associated increase of emissions) is, on a per hectare basis, as large outside as it is inside the Government-designated forest domain that has so far been the focus of REDD+ discussions.
With the advent of REDD+ and the potential for increased financial flows into carbon-rich landscapes, the question of how to relate national commitments to the local context and implementation is more important than ever. Rather than focusing on short-term emissions reduction strategies, the debate has shifted to new forms of 'clean development' strategies that focus on maintaining high carbon stocks and low carbon flows and yet also achieving development goals.
