Land and Forest Governance at Multiple Levels in Supporting Climate-change mitigation:

Lessons learned from the tropics

Indonesia Pavilion, Paris, December 3, 2015

• Assisting provinces in their responsibility to coordinate districts to contribute to national level target of emission reduction from land-based sector (AFOLU) (26%)

• Increasing readiness of local stakeholders to actively engage to further mitigation action (15%)

• Trainings, technical assistances, tool development, data compilation, facilitations, policy discussions, public consultations in mitigation action planning and implementation

• Research institution, academics, development partner, local NGO and institution, national level government, local government, supported by donors

Roles and responsibilities of provinces

• Mandated through the Presidential Decree to coordinate the local mitigation action planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting to achieve national mitigation target under the leadership of Bappenas

• There are no common responsibility between national, province and district governments

• All decisions on P-I-M in land-based sector are under district government

• Province government coordinates, supervises and provides recommendations to the district

• Common but differentiated responsibility between national, province and district

• Decision makings on P-I-M are shared between district, provincial and national government

• Forestry and mining are under province government. Agriculture is under district government

How• Integrative, inclusive and informed planning

toward implementation under enabling policy and institutions

• Two level of engagements:I. All (34) provinces to have strengthened capacities in

informed land-based mitigation action planning

II. Five provinces with various development and forest transition stages of Indonesia with integrative, inclusive and informed planning capacities

Where

I. All province to have informed planning and plan

• Make available LUMENS (Land-Use Planning for Multiple Environmental Services) framework and tool. LUMENS is endorsed by Bappenas for province-level planning;

• Under the National Land-based sector Working Group (MoEF, MoA, Bappenas, ICRAF, GIZ) compile best available spatialand other data from line ministries and province government, train, provide technical assistance;

• Contribute to assist and review documents submitted to the National level secretariat;

• Assist in the Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting design and process of RAD-GRK;

Projected Emission with Mitigation

Past emission during base period:

- Source of emissions and shares:

activities, areas/planning units

(what, where, how much, how

important)

- Driving factors

Historic Emission

Future BAU scenario:

- Source of emissions and shares:

activities, areas/planning units

(what, where, how much, how

Mitigation Scenario:

- Source of emission to be avoided:

activities areas/planning units

(what, where, how much, how

important)

- Driving factors to be addressed

- Enabling conditions needed

Workflow of mitigation action planning

Lessons Learnt

• Entry point of applying a technical tool is effective in raising awareness and understanding of what constitutes land-based emissions, how it happened, where, and scopes to reduce them in the future;

• With a lot of preparation and close collaborations within Land-based sector WG in data compilation, software development, trainers’ capacities, materials and facilitations, three days workshop, training and hands-on session can help trainees from province-level government to work on their own individual provinces using the best available data from the angle of local province’s contexts and circumstances and:– Calculate historic emissions, identify the main sources and where (under what allocation/function/planning

units), and infer the drivers

– Understand the concept of BAU and mitigation scenario and develop Reference Emission Level

– Discuss possible ways to address the drivers and change the trajectory of BAU

– Align with current provincial plan of development, conservation, restoration

– Identify means to achieve

– Calculate the projected emission reduction

• Sets of materials: spatial data (timeseries of landuse/cover maps, planning units), C-stock data of landuse/cover types, tentative technical report (maps, historical and projected emissions, effectiveness table), technical skills and knowledge to be brought home as basis for further discussion with relevant office in each province for refining and finalizing the mitigation action plan

Caveats

• Participants might not be the right individuals from the right institution such that advancing the process is problematic;

• There are a lot of homework ahead that needs strong political will at province level to make it works:

– Alignment with development agenda needs multi-sectoralpolicies; time-lag is an issue;

– Engagement of local stakeholders;

– Financing within and beyond the government budget;

– Institutional setting

II. Five provinces with integrative, inclusive and

informed mitigation action planning capacities

• Three districts each were selected based on watershed delineation (3 provinces) and ecosystems-social contexts (2 provinces)

• Mirroring the province level capacity strengthening process for informed planning with different communication strategies based on capacity development needs from each district

• Full-fledge of LUMENS framework applied at district and province levels through series of trainings, technical assistance, facilitation of working groups expert networks, alignment-tagging, mainstreaming

• Facilitations of the negotiation process of nesting districts-provinces

Land-Use planning for Multiple Environmental Services (LUMENS) framework• Build common visions and understandings among working groups

of multiple stakeholders • Collect and compile best available relevant dataset: land admin,

plans, land use/cover maps, biophysical, demographic, socio-economics

• Strengthen technical capacities in:– quantifying ecosystem functions– analyzing trade offs between conservation-development– developing options and simulating scenarios– negotiating best scenarios over ex-ante impact analysis– implementation, monitoring and evaluation within the existing policy

framework

• Facilitate and negotiate public consultations and high level discussions to mainstream plans into programs of local government and identify other potential financing mechanisms

• Support policy processes at the local and national levels

Conclusions • For policies and regulations to be effectively implemented especially

within multiple levels of government, communication strategy, awareness raising, capacity strengthening programs have to be designed with respecting local wisdoms, contexts and aspirations and in alignment with local visions and missions;

• Negotiation capacities, guidelines and processes across multiple levelsare necessary;

• Technical capacities as an entry point to informed planning can lead to policy development and implementation if articulated well and supported by strong political will;

• Integrated landscape approach rather than sectoral approach of forestry vs others should be enforced within sustainable development strategy that embraces CC mitigation, adaptation, equity, growth, ES, restoration, land governance;

• Capacities built in planning and implementing unilateral CC mitigation program should be translated further to develop convincing business models as basis for people-public-private partnerships.
