Indonesia’s forest land comprises 60 % of the country’s land area, which makes it the third largest area of tropical rainforest in the world. Indonesia’s forest is therefore important not only for the national economy and local livelihoods, but also for the global environment. The Indonesian rainforests are also among the world’s richest in terms of biodiversity, and cover a significant proportion of the planet’s tropical deep peat. The Government of Indonesia estimates that, for each year between 2003 and 2006, around 1.17 million ha of forest was cleared or degraded.
The operational phase 1 of Indonesia UN-REDD Programme was closed in October 2012. Since its inception in October 2009, the Programme has worked with relevant government agencies, NGOs/ CSOs, academics and the private sector at the national level and in its pilot province, Central Sulawesi, where a multi-stakeholder REDD+ Working Group is very active. The Programme has been instrumental in the development of several decrees. A methodology for Reference Emission Level was developed and a National Forest Inventory database has been set up. Before its completion the Programme will also prepare a REDD+ implementation plan for Central Sulawesi. UNEP has been assisting Central Kalimantan with the development of a roadmap for green growth focusing on forest and natural resources.
UNEP has been assisting Central Kalimantan with the development of a roadmap for green growth focusing on forest and natural resources. In 2012, Indonesia has moved towards finalizing indicators for Participatory Governance Assessment (PGA) in the context of REDD+.
