Cooperation with NGOs on REDD-plus

• NGOs is part of the three pillars of “governance” (government, private sector, civil society) the three stakeholders supposed to work together, building synergy in our efforts,

• There are many donor funded initiatives related to REDD-plus done by NGOs with various focus and scale.

Cooperation with NGOs on REDD-plus (continued)

• Current situation : NGOs initiatives are scattered and difficult to coordinate,

NGOs donor funded initiatives are lack of coordination

between donor and host government.• One among possible options to improve coordination

and communication of the activities is to use IFCA channel.

Status of carbon trading schemes in Indonesia

• REDD-plus implementation is still in readiness phase building capacity, developing the framework, addressing related issues f.e. drivers of DD etc)

• International level : Policy aspects and positive incentives are still in the process of negotiation,• National level : there is no regulation in place that can readily accommodate

carbon trading • Mechanism to be developed during the readiness phase • Interim mechanism may be possible to exercise incentive distribution before

international mechanism under COP in place.

there has not been carbon trading connected to UNFCCC-process on REDD-plus in Indonesia.

CLOSING REMARKS

• REDD (-plus) is integral part of mitigation effort,• Indonesia is in the process of learning by doing

how to bring climate change issues (including REDD-plus) to the mainstream of development planning at all levels (national, province, district),

• At the same time preparing REDD-framework to be ready by 2012.
