2015 Indonesia update
Channel: ANU TV
Date: 2015-09-17

The 2015 Indonesia Update will examine land law and its administration in decentralised Indonesia. From the large-scale land acquisitions in Merauke, Papua, to asset ownership in the villages of Sulawesi and Java, to the tenure conflicts associated with the oil-palm and mining booms in Kalimantan and Sumatra, speakers will consider Indonesia’s many land challenges and will examine the environmental implications of land management. How do nature conservation, carbon sequestration, and ecosystem service valuation, for example, lead to land enclosure or how might they accommodate local property rights? And how do land deals overlap with climate-change mitigation strategies?
