Saipul RahmanWORKSHOP ON METHODS FOR BIOMASS

ESTIMATION IN THE TROPICSSamarinda (Unmul-WHRC): 8th November 2010

• Background

• MRV Concept

• MRV in Indonesia

• Carbon Estimation (some efforts)

Climate change is caused by GHG emissions

– Reliable reports are required (Decision 13/CP.13)

– Non Annex 1 voluntarily

Around 19% of emissions from LUCF REDD

(Decision 2/CP.13; recalling in Copenhagen Accord)

– Accurate, verifiable estimation of GHG is required

– Demand and price of GHG credits follows quality of MRV

Indonesia has tropial forest – Storing significant amount of carbon

– High Deforestation

Bali Action Plan, 2007:(b) Enhanced national/international action on mitigation of climate

change, including, inter alia, consideration of:

i. Measurable, reportable and verifiable nationally appropriate

mitigation commitments or actions, including quantified

emission limitation and reduction objectives, by all developed

country Parties, while ensuring the comparability of efforts

among them, taking into account differences in their national

circumstances;

ii. Nationally appropriate mitigation actions by developing

country Parties in the context of sustainable development,

supported and enabled by technology, financing and

capacity-building, in a measurable, reportable and verifiable

manner;

Terms:•MEASUREABLE

– Quantifiable, Using Credible methods

•REPORTABLE

– Actual, periodic

•VERIFIABLE

– Verified by independent verifier

REDD+:

• Deforestation (DG of Forest Planning)

• Forest Degradation (DG of Forest Planning)

• Conservation (DG of Forest Protection)

• Sustainable Forest Management (DG of Forest Production)

• Enhanced Forest Carbon Stock (DG of Land Rehabilitation Social Forestry)

Priority of MRV location

Specific programs of MoFor– Planting programs, Forest Plantation,

– Community Forest

Threats/Drivers of Deforestation– Encroachment,

– Logging activities

Institutions

UKP4 (President’s special unit): Take the lead

Ministry of Environment : National Communication

Ministry of Forestry– DG of Forest Planning take the lead

– DG of Forest Production, DG of Forest Protection, DG of Land Rehabilitation

Forest Services (Dinas Prov/Kab)– Encroachment, Logging activities, land clearing

Forest Management Unit (KPH)– Logging activities (KPHP), Programs

Issue of transparency

Sovereignty

– Regulation: UU 14/2008, Keterbukaan Informasi Publik (Public transparency). Natural resources may be classified as “confidential” (Chapter V/17)

– Should be defined type of accessible data

International requirement

– Credible, verifiable estimation of GHG is required

– Foreign intervention?

• Existing Data and Information

• INCAS (Indonesia’s National Carbon Accounting System) under IAFCP

• Support on Forest Resources Management through Leveraging Satellite Image Information(under Indonesia-JICA)

• Accountability and Local Level Initiave for Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Degradation (ALLREDDI)-(DG of Planning-ICRAF)
