| Abstract: |
| Jambi Provincial Government has made sustainable development a priority by targeting on green growth. Achieving green growth means increasing the productivity of the agricultural and forestry sector while protecting its forests and peatlands. Today, Jambi Province’s economy depends on its wealth of natural resources through the contribution of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. Natural resources-based sectors accounted for 29.41% of the GDP of Jambi Province in 2017. This utilization of natural resources has supported community welfare, reflected from the poverty rate that is lower than the Sumatra island and national. Even so, an economy that depends on natural resources risks environmental degradation through land clearing, land conversion, and the exploitation of natural resources. The adoption of the green growth approach is expected to increase the productivity of the agriculture and forestry sector while strengthening sustainable environmental management and restoring forests and degraded lands. Green growth seeks to synergize the roles and partnerships between the government, the private sector, and civil society in realizing balanced land management that supports social welfare. This Green Growth Master Plan contains approaches, strategies, and a roadmap to achieve green growth in Jambi Province from 2019 to 2045. |
