Towards Climate Justice

CSF-CJI was established in 2007 to respon

COP 13 in Bali.

We are opened forum for public to discuss

climate change in justice principle.

CSF-CJI facilitates the establishment of climate

justice movement at national and international

levels.

Our message has been adopted as “climate

justice network”, also CSF-CJI has played role

as the government “watch dog” around climate

change, at national and international levels.

HELP Problem around Climate Change

Perspective of Climate (un) Justice

The target of mix energy in the

presidential decree No. 5 of 2006

confirmed that the fossil fuels is a

primary driver to fulfill the energy

demand. According to long term

simulation on the utilization of national

energy, within the framework of

Business As Usual (BAU), the emission

of national energy would be 1.150 Mt

CO2e in 2025 (Bappenas, 2011).

The national energy policy still depends on the

fossil energy.

President SBY does not have vision for energy

sovereignty. He supports export and import at the

same time.

In May 2011, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono issued a policy:

the Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesian

Economic Development 2011-2025 (MP3EI,) through Presidential Decree

No.32 of 2011.

In MP3EI, there are 6 main economic corridors to be developed, namely

Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali and Nusa Tenggara, and

Maluku and Papua, where each corridor be central to of development of

certain commodities, namely:

1) Sumatra corridor, as a centre of production and processing of

agriculturees, monoculture plantations and fossil fuels

2) Java corridor, as the location of industry, infrastructure and the

development of national services. Those will increase energy

consumption.

3) Kalimantan corridor, as a center of production and mineral

processing and energy storages .

4) Sulawesi corridor, as a center of production and processing of

agriculture, plantations, fisheries, oil and gas and mining.

5) Corridor Bali-Nusa Tenggara, as a gateway for tourisms and

supporting national food stocks.

6) Maluku-Papua corridor, as a food production center, fisheries,

energy and national mining

MP3EI: shops for selling many things: mainly Natural Resources. The

wworkers and sellers should not be sick. It is not important whether dreams achieved or not. The important thing is

to dismantle everything at once, and to providee incentive for major economic activisties in accordance with the strategy of MP3EI.

Changing the Java Island, from the center of national food production to become the center of industrial activities. For example Batang District, Central Java, a fertile area with abundant fishery and agriculture resources. The district will support electricity needs for MP3EI. President SBY issued presidential decree to support establishment of Batang Coal Power Plant. However, the people refuse the projects, because they also will be removed/ displaced not only from livelihood but also from their land.

Be aware with MP3EI: uutilization of forests, fertile lands and the lands of indigenous peoples. + The transfer of issues of environmental damage. Because exploitative development, government promote more protected areas and conservation reserve with fantastic figures or does not fit the facts + Pattern of top-down development.

Approximately 500 residents, both men and women were beaten and kicked.

PT Bhimasena Power Indonesia (PT BPI) drilling activities did not have a license at the location of the construction of power plant. Drilling activity is protected and guarded by around 150 police officers, 50 members of the military, 50 police use intel outfits, 80 security guards and 30 thugs.

Unsustainable Production: The Oil Palm Plantations in Indonesia

1. The total area of oil palm plantations in Indonesia is 12.297.759 hectare (Sawit Watch, 2012), with expansion around 220,000 hectare per year.

2. Based on research in 2001, The Ministry of Forestry and EU discovered 4 millions hectare peat-land in Sumatera were suitable for oil palm plantations.

3. GHG emissions from POME (Palm Oil Mill Effluent) is far exceed other GHG emissions, such as fertilizer use and diesel use.

4. Also, the palm oil plantations which are placed in the peat land, will increase continuous GHG emissions, resulting from oxidation of peat.

National policies do not adopt and

implement customary law.

Decision making still using top – down

approach.

The national + local government do not

respond to efforts addressing climate

change maximally, because they push

changes through MP3EI.

President of Indonesia responding to Norwegian government $1 billion commitment was an exchange for action around climate change (2011). In the other side, this also reflects our president’s desire to seek favourable perception on the international stage—as Indonesia has been identified as the largest producer of green house gases.

As part of the package of measure to reduce these, he has committed to develop a moratorium on the issuing of forestry moratorium licenses. Mandated by the president, REDD Task Force has been established.

Decision-making process related to REDD / REDD + in Indonesia is dominated by approaches from-top-to-bottom (top-down). As most of the delegates in the Conference of the Parties is the government officials (central government). They get the first information and they also who is authorized by the Climate Change Convention to determine the position at the negotiating table and the implementation of REDD/ REDD+ activities in the future.

Is there any similar problem in your country? May be we can discus furthermore.

Indonesia’s high case commitment of 41% is not included in the Copenhagen Accord but was

announced prior to COP15 by the President of Indonesia (during G-20 meeting in Pittsburg). The

impact of this pledge is included in the two conditional pledge cases: 26% and 41% (with

international financial support)

It is important to develop schemes that ensure community to have and manage their own forest.

Indonesia has had an open opportunity after policy reform on forestry. The Constitutional Court has issued decision towards Forestry Law No. 41 Year 1999 on judicial review for Article 1 Paragraph 6, Article 4 Paragraph 3 and Article 5 Paragraph 2. The articles have been revised after consideration as refer to Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution.

The decision said, customary land is owned by indigenous people in a certain territory with clear borders, as heritage or legacy.

Example, in Minang, West Sumatra, there is Nagari, a customary area which has clear borders.

The community forest has potential to take role

in reducing the rate of deforestation.

Fisherfolk have initiatives of community based

fishery conservation, under local wisdom.

Is there any formulation for "people's plan"? If it

does not exist, can we create that, by starting

to imagine "Master Plan for Protecting

People"?
