HISTORY OF REDD+ INDONESIA
2005-2017

REDD+ TARGETS
 REDD+ is not just about carbon and forest.
 REDD+ is tools for achieving sustainable
development goals that are equitable.
 Emission reduction should be in line withgreen development objectives that canenhance the welfare of communities andmaintain biodiversity and ecosystemservices.
 International negotiations build a strong
concept at the center, but
implementation is focused at the site
level, involving the community.

OBJECTIVES:
Sustainable welfare while strengthening emission reduction commitments and increasing carbon
stocks, and conserving and measuring the biodiversity and services of forest and peatland ecosystems.

Acceleration of forest
area recognition

One Map
Movement

Protection and Recognitionof Indigenous Peoples

Legal Reform

Phase II : Implementation
Implementation of National Strategy/ Action Plan, local actions, policies,tools, capacity buildings, institutional strengthening, development andtransfer of technology, result-based demonstration activities, scaling up,
transformational investment program (piloting),----------(UN-REDD, FCPF readiness fund, FIP, governments, bilateral cooperation
funds, supported pilot/DA/projects, etc.)

Phase III : Performance-based payment
Result-based payment leading to emission reductions (fully measured/monitored, reported and verified)----------( FCPF Carbon Fund/Bio CF, governments, bilateral cooperation, etc.)

National approach –sub national implementation

Phase I : ReadinessREDD+ in Paris Agreement:Article 5
1. Parties should take action to conserve and enhance, as appropriate, sinks andreservoirs of greenhouse gases as referred to in Article 4, paragraph 1(d), of theConvention, including forests.
2. Parties are encouraged to take action to implement and support, including throughresults-based payments, the existing framework as set out in related guidance anddecisions already agreed under the Convention for: policy approaches and positive
incentives for activities relating to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest
degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests andenhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries; and alternative policy
approaches, such as joint mitigation and adaptation approaches for the integral andsustainable management of forests, while reaffirming the importance of incentivizing,as appropriate, non-carbon benefits associated with such approaches.

Point of Agreement:Forests and REDD+ - acknowledgement on forest roles, REDD+;
including through Result-Based Payments (RBP), Joint
Mitigation and Adaptation (JMA).

Implications of Paris Agreement for REDD+?
 Highlight and support what have been and/or being developed for
REDD+, strong signal of political support for REDD+, andendorsement for the REDD+ Framework (Article 5) – give stronger
support towards full implementation of REDD+ with result-basedpayment
 Paris Agreement provided a broader context; by providing more
opportunity for REDD+ to contribute and strengthen the efforts inmitigation within the NDC process (Article 4)
 Indicate and highlight the need of reporting and provide someprinciples for accounting for emission reductions of emissions andremovals to ensure transparency (Article 4 and Article 13)
 (eventhough ‘transparency’ is actually not new for REDD+ in its
history of negotiation)
 REDD+ (as an positive incentive mechanism/RBP) vs. market – nonmarket approach (Article 6) Highlight on finance (Article 9)Progress of preparation

1. Reducing deforestation*,
2. Enhanced implementation ofsustainable management
principles in both natural
production forests (reducedegradation)* and plantation
production forests,

3. Rehabilitation of degradedlands of 12 million ha by 2030
or 800.000 ha per year with 90% survival rates,

Along the way of REDD+ history and the future opportunity, there are anumber of ongoing policy reforms and enhancement of law enforcement
related to REDD+ in Indonesia (enabling condition, policy intervention), forexample :• Continuity of One Map Policy,• FLEGT License,• Moratorium of new permits in peatlands,• Amendment and new regulations in peatlands
management including peatland restoration,• Social Forestry (12.7 million ha target) for communities
live in and around forests• Land reallocation/land tenure reform (9.2 million hatarget).
• Legal recognition to the right of “Masyarakat HukumAdat” (internationally known as IPs).
• Transformation in forest and land fire managementfrom focusing on suppression to prevention.
