1. Indonesia’s Efforts
in battling the
Climate Change
A Summary by
Djati W. Hadi
Head of
Communication
Bureau, MOEF

2. Indonesia Commitment
❑ Indonesia has ratified Paris Agreement under the Law (UU) no. 16 year 2016 to ensure our
commitment for sustainable forest and peat management and to reduce carbon emission
under REDD+ scheme,
❑ Indonesia has put in place REDD+ infrastructure consist of REDD+ National Strategy, FREL
(Forest Reference Emissions Level), NFMS (National Forest Monitoring System), and SIS
(Safeguards Information System) plus MRV (Monitoring, Reporting and Verification) system.
❑ Today we are on the finalization step of making Result Based Payment a reality.
❑ Indonesia has established and well run a National Registry System on Climate Change,
called NRSCC, to gather information on all REDD+ related activities on climate change
mitigation and adaptation. The data is presented to ensure transparency and easy to
understand by multistakeholders.

3. Progress
❑ Annual emission reduction from forest and peat during the period of 2000 to 2016 is 709.409 Gg CO2e. If
the emission from peat fire is taken out, the average rate would be 466.035 Gg CO2e, which contributed
from peat decomposition of annual rate of 304.377 Gg CO2e.
❑ Significant improvement made on fire mitigation and response. Compare to 2016, emission reduction
from peat fire has significantly dropped from 712.602 Gg CO2e in 2015 to 90.267 Gg CO2e. In 2017, peat
fire emission is on average of 12.513 Gg CO2e.
❑ The Government has issued Ministerial Decree to protect and mangae peat ecosystem in 2014, which
further revised in 2016, whereby emphasize on the peat function as carbon storage and to conserve
biodiversity.

4. New Paradigm
❑ Social Forestry as Flagship program to ensure communities’ active participation on sustainable
forest management,
▪ FMU or KPH as our future. FMU or Forest Management Unit, know as KPH (Kesatuan
Pengelolaan Hutan) which have 3 types for KPHP (production forest), KPHL (Protected forest) and
KPHK (Conservation forest).
▪ Public Private Partnerships through various means, one of them is engaging private sectors as
Restoration Ecosystem partners.
▪ Media as core partner in ensuring public engagement heard and taken into consideration on all
MOEF’s program.
