Beyond REDD+

Role of Conservation Areas in REDD+•Carbon accounting and baseline•Project design under VCS and CCBS
•Peatland restoration•Institution and Financial mechanism• Community based forest
management e.q.
Village Forest,
Community Plantation
Forest and community
conservation areas• Payment forenvironment services
e.q. Eco-tourism,microhydro power,• Forest certification e.q.
FSC, RSPO, Landswap

District Level of REDD+•Carbon accounting and REL•Role of the indigeneous people/Local
communties e.q. Agreed on FPIC,
Comunicating REDD at local level•Policy and Planning e.q. District five years
development plan, District five years forestryplanningMuch of the resources are used for elections

Understanding Landuse Dynamics

Gender differences should be accounted as well

Lesson To Date
• Drivers of deforestation:• Sumatra: High unplanned deforestation from oil palm and otherland base commodities• Papua: High potential planned deforestation• Kalimantan is in the middle• High development cost!
• REDD+ readiness phase should be in parallel withlivelihoods interventions• Sites and sub-national need to be integrated into higher
level frameworks and mechanisms• REDD+ Incentives should design to increase the valuesof the forest.
