Presented by H.E Dr. Alue Dohong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Republic of Indonesia, at "Online Workshop Series:Exploring Criteria and Indicators for Tropical Peatland Restoration", on 2 Sep 2020.
This keynote emphasized the importance of peatland ecosystems for Indonesian environment and the people. Vice ministerunderlined the need for scientific measures for peatland restoration and monitoring based on current regulations for peatland protection and management.
This presentation by Cristina Arias-Navarro (INRA) was given on the 26 of June 2019 as part of the SB50 side event – Enhancing NDC Ambition Through Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration. Country representatives and experts discussed the potential of soil organic carbon sequestration as a climate change mitigation option and gaps between countries’ current and potential commitments.

In this session, the speaker explained the common understanding of peatland restoration. This session also underlined the importance of finding the balance between conservation and sustainable use through the multi-stakeholder and cooperation including the local engagement. Speaker also shared the potential criteria and indicators that can be useful in peatland monitoring and assessment such as improving participation, profitability, and productivity of smallholders, reducing social conflict, reducing deforestation and degradation, stock areas, and reducing fire and haze.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Maria Nuutinen, PeatlandTechnical Lead, FAO Rome
3. 1. Status and trends of Indonesian peatlands
2. Why peatlands matter for climate change?
3. FAO’s work on peatlands
a) supporting countries through technical solutions and
capacity development
b) in Indonesia and sharing knowledge globally through
the Global Peatlands Initiative (GPI)
4. Challenges and opportunities
5. Conclusions
4. 1. Globally:
1. Peatlands are the world’s largest natural terrestrial carbon store
2. Only cover 3% of land area but contain twice as much carbon as forests, recent recognition
2. Indonesia has 36% of tropical peatlands (estimates 15-22 Mha), country with the
world’s largest area of tropical peatlands
3. More than half of Indonesian peatlands are degraded state as a result of
drainage, logging, conversion to large industrial plantations (e.g. palm oil,
pulpwood) & agriculture and fire, especially in 1990s, recent improvements
4. Drained and degraded peatlands:
1.are extremely prone to fire, land subsidence, flooding,
2.release significant GHG emissions from peat decomposition and fires, and
3.reduce the ability to provide ecosystem services that supports local communities’ livelihoods.
Status and trends of
Indonesia’s peatlands
5. Why peatlands matter:
climate vulnerability, social
& environmental impacts
1. Degraded peatlands are vulnerable to climate change and variability, fires
especially linked to dry El Nino weather patterns
2. Severe fires resulted in large environmental & socio-economic damage
3. Fires are increasingly concentrated in peatlands. The 2015 fires burned
2.6 Mha, 40% were peatlands, producing toxic smoke that covered parts
of Indonesia and neighbouring countries, resulting in more than 100,000
premature deaths and more than USD $16 billion in economic losses
4. Local communities suffer the most. Affects est. 15 million people, with
nearly 1 in 10 living below the poverty line.
6. Total Global Emissions - Declining deforestation one of the main success

7. GHG emissions from 1 week of fire on 1.6% of Indonesia’s
land area = 5-10% of Indonesia’s annual GHG emissions
Indonesian fires 2015
released over 11 million tons
CO2-eq per day, larger than
the daily fossil fuels
emission of all 28 EU
countries combined of
8.9 million tons CO2-eq.

8. 1. Fire occurrence and extent are associated with drought (weather
and soil moisture)
2. Re-wetting peatlands by blocking and back filling canals are
effective ways to reduce fire risks
3. Information on peat depth and hydrology (especially Ground
Water Level, GWL) are key for fire prevention and emission
reduction strategies
4. Climate change increases in temperature and changing rainfall
patterns will likely worsen future fire extent and severity

9. What can be done?
Indonesian peat restoration, 3R methods since 2015 fires
11
Historically peatlands mostly avoided, ignored, abused or degraded, only
recently getting attention due to fires and climate impact
Difficult access and conditions, resulted in poor monitoring data, poor
management and weak enforcement of regulations
New approaches since 2015 fires Gov’t set up the Peat Restoration Agency
What
can be
done?
How?
10. 1. Huge challenge to restore peatlands:
up to 90% degraded out of 22 mill. ha
2. Lack of good data and methods for
monitoring peatland restoration
- water levels is critical because
related to GHG emissions & fires
3. FAO used innovative radar satellite to
monitor peatland moisture & map it
4. Developed Indonesian capacity >100
people, 14 organizations to use tools
5. New maps better than few, scattered
field points. New maps every 2 weeks

14. Challenges need work
1. Institutional issues – over-reliance on multiple sets of complicated
regulations with limited enforcement
2. Agency coordination - low and mandates overlap or gaps
3. New Research and Innovation agency (BRIN) is still being formed
4. Small number of high-skilled staff and high turnover, reshuffles
5. Socio-economic work, long, slow and difficult, crucial for success
6. Designing effective and efficient incentives and avoiding capture
7. Better selected research sites experimentally chosen to represent
specific conditions, less political or spread across provinces?
15. Looking forward: many improvement opportunities
• Fire and degradation causes: understand physical & human/social
• Better understand conditions/thresholds for surface fires to
become sub-surface peat fires, poss. links to satellite moisture?
• Fire danger rating systems (rationalize the 8 in Indonesia!) alert
systems, and applications for reducing risk
• Subsidence monitoring and quantification of GHG and land losses
• Agricultural options: paludiculture and sustainable practices
• Restoration actions: effectiveness of landscape level rewetting
• Improved socio-economic data to target action for green recovery
• Support countries identify areas for restoration & monitoring
• Sharing data, tools and knowledge to learn faster and share easily
