description

Indonesia has embarked on a major economic transition. It has done so by launching in 2011 the MP3EI accelerated development and investment policy which by 2025 is expected to turn Indonesia into a major Asian economic power house and top-10 economy in the world. Projected targets require up to USD 400 billion over the lifetime of this policy. More than 50% of the required investment is to originate from domestic private funders and FDI. There are concerns that MP3EI development program may be at odds with the GHG emission reduction agenda which for the same time frame aims to reduce GHG emissions by 26%, manly through managing land use change, especially the conversion of forest areas. MP3EI places heavy emphasis on land-based projects and large-scale industrial investment. In this context, MP3EI is being presented in the mass media as a form of “green” development whereby the investment projects adhere to environmental guidelines and therefore does not contradict the emission reduction plans. This presentation examines the relationship between MP3EI investments and GHG emissions reduction objectives with a focus on the province of East Kalimantan, which constitutes one of the main sub-corridors of MP3EI.

THINKING beyond the canopy

“Green Economy”

•Allows for: economic growth but significantly

reduces environmental risks and ecological

scarcities

•Understands that:

We are reaching limits in our use of the

natural resources

ENV and SOC costs of our current

economic model must be taken into account

Need for a balance between growth,

income, jobs, ENV quality and equity

“Green Economy” cont

•Needs: Enabling conditions that make

green sectors attractive opportunities for

investors and businesses

•Enabling conditions:

Right mix of fiscal measures, laws, norms,

international frameworks, know-how and

infrastructure

What is currently in place in

Indonesia/East Kalimantan?

THINKING beyond the canopy

Steps towards a greener approach

Objective: bridge the gap between GHG national emission

reduction targets and impact of land based investments

Approach:

•Forest conversion and concession moratoria

•Low Carbon Growth Strategy

•GHG emission reduction actions (RAN/RAD-GRK; SRAP

REDD+)

•Certification (RSPO, ISPO, VPA-SVLK, FSC)

•Green Master Plan MP3EI project portfolios

THINKING beyond the canopy

What shade of green?

•Bridging the gap between BAU and low emission

development

•Some policy measures and market mechanisms are being

deployed to affect change

•Enabling conditions nascent and fragmentary

•Significant challenges remain with redesign of landbased

investments and creation of effective transition framework
