INTERNATIONAL Politics-economy (e.g. development outside negotiations e.g. REDD,

USA and other developed countries position, developing countries lack of resources,)

Technical/ methodological/ scientific (many outstanding methodological aspects demand for further works)

Equity (Annex 1 vs. non-Annex 1, among Annex 1, among non-Annex 1)

NATIONAL Survival (vulnerability from biophysical conditions, economy and social) Social (livelihood) to make sure local community interests are taken

care of,

NATIONAL INTERNASIONAL ISSUE Social (livelihood, indigenous and local community rights, social equity) Governance Forest condition (case : Indonesia, e.g. deforestation, forest fire, illegal

logging)

Enhancing sink capacity of forest: plantation including forest restoration, rehabilitation of degraded forest and land,

Conserving carbon stocks: forest conservation

Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation: SFM, combating illegal logging, forest fire management, reducing forest conversion and forest encroachment.

Sustainability of forest resources is crucial for the continuation of national development,

Sustainable management of forest resources is a form of mitigation and adaptation measures, but not explicitly stated in forestry planning.

Adaptation and mitigation is survival issue.

5 PRIORITY POLICIES (2005-2009) CONTRIBUTION TO CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION

1. Combating illegal logging and its associated trade

Reduce emission

2. Forest & land rehabilitation andforest conservation

• Enhance sink,• Reduce emission,• Carbon conservation,enhance resilient

3. Forestry sector restructuring • Reduce emission,• Enhance sink

4. Community empowerment • Reduce emission,• Enhance sink

5. Securing forest land Enabling conditions

Combating illegal logging law enforcement, inter-sectoral approach

Forest & land rehabilitation (5 million ha between 2003-2009, 1 million tree plantation before COP-13, 100 million tree plantation started in 2008) and forest conservation (institutional strengthening in protected area management)

Forestry sector restructuring through enhancement of timber plantation and industry restructuring 9 million ha by 2014 using genetically improved seeds, improved production forest management

Community empowerment Community forest (HTR 5.4 million ha by 2014, HR 8 million ha by 2025)

Securing forest land (strengthening the legal status of state forest land)

Supporting initiatives : • Improving forest monitoring system• Improving forest governance – increased transparency, combating

corruption

Financial (the gaps between available domestic funds and the magnitude of the problem to be dealt with)

Market failure for forest products and services (e.g. market of illegal forest products, A/R CDM)

Technical/ Methodological and capacity issues

Institutional and governance issues

Extensive data collections have been carried out by the Ministry of Forestry (MoF) since 1985, using various remotely sensed data (Landsat MSS/TM/ ETM+, SPOT Vegetation, MODIS and other sources of data),

Field plot data from about 2,000 permanent plots which were established in 1993 (National Forest Inventory: Indonesia – FAO project), PSPs in concession areas and research forests

Three periods of monitoring (1985-1997, 1997-2000, 2000-2005), in collaboration with South Dakota State University and Wageningen University. The monitoring system analyzed land-cover change through time both inside and outside forest lands.

Data on forest cover changes over time are not readily available data created as a one time mapping exercise to create

maps to facilitate better planning and forest management

to create these maps needs considerable time and effort to gather information and carry out interpretation archipelago wide land cover maps often needs more than one year to produce

the maps often do not have uniform date over the entire map, which may have considerable influence on the calculation of annual change.

Considerable improvement is needed.

Related Ministries/Institutions: Ministry of National Development Ministry of Finance Ministry of Environment Ministry of Foreign Affairs National Council on Climate Change Others (LAPAN, BBPT, Univ etc)challenges in coordination and synergy

Many initiatives/ programmes/ activities carried out by related institutions/ organizations, but lack of synergy, monitoring and evaluation,

High political will from the top authority (e.g. National Action Plan on Mitigation and Adaptation) but slow progress in integrating to national and sectoral planning including in budget allocation.

Climate Change is not simply environmental issue,

Climate change is sustainable development issues (Economy, Social, Environment)

More reliable GHGs inventory data for LULUCF is critical.

More support and study on forest carbon mapping methodology, baseline/ REL (Reference Emission Level)
