This Technical Note aims to provide an accountable and robust methodology that such stakeholders could easily apply to their systems (i.e., employee/customer emission management) or platforms (i.e., websites or mobile applications), including to develop their own emission calculators.
This report explores the institutional barriers to land conflict resolution in Indonesia, focuses on the government's institutional structure and capacity at the national level, leaving aside the courts and regional or local government. It provides information on the overview of land conflict in...
This working paper elaborates on the reasons why illegal logging activities still exist in Indonesia despite the efforts that have been made by the government. This paper offers recommendations for tackling the misdeclaration of timber information. It aims to provide recommendations to the...
This paper considers the concept of a “data loop” —a relationship between the government and the private sector that focuses on strengthening collaborative efforts to enhance climate ambition through data sharing—in the Indonesian context. In the data loop, the private sector shares climate and...
This study assessed critical aspects in the governance of peatland restoration in South Sumatra and its possible impacts.
This practice note discusses lessons learned about forest management practices with social forestry schemes undertaken by local communities as a good example.
Overlapping land use and tenure uncertainties are prevalent in Indonesia. The One Map Initiative at the Village Level (Inisiatif Satu Peta di Tingkat Desa; ITUPEDE) supports Indonesia’s One Map Policy to address these problems, primarily through participatory mapping. It helped the Gajah...
This study shows the gap in people's participation, especially the reasons behind a lack of women participation in customary forest management.
This Technical Note describes the method within EMISI for calculating individual-level GHGs and air pollutant emissions from urban transport activities and then determining the necessary carbon sequestration through reforestation and afforestation.
Indonesia is growing rapidly in terms of the economy and demography. At the same time, Indonesia is emitting greenhouse gas emission and is among the top global emitter. Indonesia has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 29 percent to up to 41 percent against a business-as-usual...
The results of this study indicate that there are 499,399 hectares of smallholder oil palm plantations in 11 provinces and 23 districts in Indonesia which can be prioritized for intensification programs. These locations have low productivity with biophysical conditions suitable for oil palm...
The results of the evaluation framework test in Beringin Jaya Community Forests (HKm) showed that the existence of HKm was able to reduce the rate of tree cover loss, improve welfare, and reduce economic inequality between communities, due to the high dependence of the community on forest areas...
Climate change affects poor and marginalized communities first and hardest. Particularly in cities, a lack of access to basic services, a long history of unsustainable urban development, and political exclusion render the urban poor one of the most vulnerable groups to climate induced natural...
Never has there been so much demand for data and information about the world’s forests. Achieving international goals and national commitments related to forest conservation and management, climate change, and sustainable development requires credible, accurate, and reliable monitoring of...
Illegal logging causes forest degradation and serves as a catalyst for deforestation. Tackling illegal logging is therefore a foundation for conserving forests and biodiversity, reducing emissions from the forest sector, and sustainably managing production forestry. The extent of corrupt and...
Hundreds of companies with exposure to deforestation driven by palm oil, beef, soy, or wood production have committed to addressing deforestation. Many of these commitments have been made in the context of the Consumer Goods Forum Zero Net Deforestation Commitment, the Tropical Forest Alliance...
REDD+—which stands for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries—debuted on the global stage more than a decade ago. The idea prompted high...
The climate and forest community has not yet harnessed the full power of the information age to create transparency in the global commodities markets. There exists a wealth of global financial data that can reveal the financial drivers of deforestation. Using the power of big data, forest...
This working paper aims to bring greater clarity to nontechnical audiences such as climate policymakers by offering a systematic comparison among methods used and forest monitoring results generated by REDD+ countries and global forest monitoring initiatives. First, we review deforestation...
Increasing global demand for natural resources is intensifying competition for land across the developing world, pushing companies onto territories that many Indigenous Peoples and rural communities have sustainably...
