Introduction
The Climate Village Program (CVP) is one of the national flagship programsof the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia tosupport emission reduction and climate resilience

The CVP applies community-based development
according to these three principles: communitybased, local resource-based, and sustainable.
The villages targeted by the CVP
plus under the FCPF program differ
slightly from the villages targeted by
the CVP implemented by the MoEF.
The CPV plus takes into accountcriteria for carbon stock, the level of
threat from forest destruction, theexistence of Adat/Custom
communities, existing support.

The CVP plus was launched in East Kalimantan
with multilateral support from the Forest Carbon
Partnership Facility Carbon Fund (FCPF-CF) thatfunded by World Bank. East Kalimantan has anarea of 12.7 million ha, of which 6.5 million ha(54%) is forested and has been selected as asite for pilot project FCPF-CF since 2015

CVP Plus as Part of REDD+ Program The CVP plus or the Low-Emission CVP is one of the programs initiated by the Forest CarbonPartnership Facility (FCPF), which aims to integrate the CVP with the Carbon Fund (CF) scheme,
particularly in villages with remaining forests.
 The FCPF implementation is a follow-up to land-based REDD+ payment preparation in Indonesiathat takes the form of a result- based payment.
 This program rewards people in certain locations who have implemented climate changeadaptation and mitigation efforts in a sustainable manner REDD+ is instrumental in engaging local communities and Adat/Custom community in the lowemission program East Kalimantan Provincial Government has identified approximately 150 CVP plus villages withremaining forest based on four criteria: carbon stock, levels of threat, the existence ofAdat/Custom local communities, and existing support

Role of remaining forests in reducing
disaster risks:
Reducing run off/erosion;
Increasing interception in standcanopy; Increasing water
infiltration by rooting system
Provide ecosystem services:
Water conservation, biodiversity,carbon sequestration

East Kalimantan has Disaster Risk
Index “High” (60%) and “Moderate”(40%) during 2015 - 2021

Support and Opportunities from Private Sectors
Support and funding opportunities from private sectors can be pooled in Indonesia
Environmental Fund/BPDLH (Badan Pengelola Dana Lingkungan Hidup)
Inline with national and sub-national program in Indonesia

Conclusion
The forest
ecosystem-based
natural disastermitigation approachis the right choice atthis time due to cost
efficiency and longterm ecosystem
sustainability

The success of mitigation
efforts to natural disasterrisks in the future is highly
dependent on good
cooperation from all parties(multistakeholders including
private sectors andmultidisciplines)
