(National/sub-national contexts) 5-stage/10-step carbon development process Structuring the process REDD+ projects supported by CCI Tenure assessments FPIC/community understanding of REDD-plus Key challenges Outline
National context Source: National Council for Climate Change, 29 August 2009
Palangka Raya Statement (26 November 2008) National REDD workshop (30 June 2009) Creating Low Carbon Prosperity (17 December 2009) Spatial Management Plan-RTRWP (09 January 2010) Provincial CCC (DDPI) (March 2010) Reducing Transaction Costs to Access Carbon Markets (CCI/AusAID) (27-30 April 2010) Sub-national context: KalTeng
5-stage Carbon Development Process • Due diligence/screening • Feasibility study/Technical Proposal • Carbon development inc. METH development • Validation (VCS and CCB Standards) • Verification, ERPA and Registration
Structuring the process • Complexities of REDD-plus project design and development • Harnessing a broad range of skills through nested partnerships • Government of Indonesia • Local NGO/Foundation or Private Company • National or International project developer • Short-term technical assistance • ‘Learning- by-doing’ • Meeting international standards
Katingan - KalTeng • Project proponent: PT Rimba Makmur Utama • Total area: 200,000+ hectares • State forest designation • Production forest: 87.30% • Production forest that can be converted: 12.70% • Concession: Ecosystem Restoration Permit • Threats: Illegal logging, illegal mining, forest conversion, encroachment, forest fires, etc. • Wildlife: 6th largest Orangutan population in the world • Avoided Planned Peatland Conversion Methodology-TGC • Standards: Climate Community and Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) and Voluntary Carbon Standards (VCS) Source: PT. RimbaMakmurUtama and PT. Starling Resources
Lamandau - KalTeng • Climate Change Campaign and • Information Dissemination REDD • Scheme • Printed Media inc. News Letter, Calendar, Factsheet and Poster • Electronic Media (radio) inc. • Adlibs, Loose Spot and Talkshow • Community Meeting • Sarasehan, Farmer Group Meeting • Stakeholder meeting • REDD Forum,Seminar and Workshop Source: Yayorin

Site-specific assessments Clarifying rights to land and trees Signed agreements with Bupatis are not enough Ensure linkages between central and local governments (provincial and district) Land and the (assumed) rights to carbon License-issuing procedures Tenure assessments 1
Relationship between adat (customary), ulayat (collective) and statutory rights remains unclear Patterns of (trans-)migration have weakened customary institutions Critical role of local partners Addressing complexity and diversity – applying locally-developed tools e.g. RaTA Protecting rights of access to trees (e.g. ‘jelutung’ – Dyera costulata) Tenure assessments 2
Options being explored Katingan – IUPHHK-RE (60 years + potential 35 year extension) Lamandau – HPK - convert to HKm (35 years) + jelutung rights Rimba Raya – IUPHHK-RE Danau Siawan – IUPHHK-RE + adat land rights Tenure assessments 3
Critical role of local partners (yayasan) Lack of appropriate training materials (cf.CCBA/RA/TNC/WWF/CI/GtZ REDD Training and Participant Resource Manuals, April 2009) Radio/regular contact to build understanding Moving beyond participation and towards the negotiation of FPIC Engaging communities in all project activities Community forest carbon agreements? Community forestry federations? FPIC/community understanding of REDD-plus
Key challenges • Clarify the GOI enabling environment • Address the technical and financial barriers of entry • Simplify procedures • Reduce transaction costs • Shorten project design and validation times • Programmatic approach in KalTeng • REDD+ Social & Environmental Standards • LULUCF mapping/capacity building of DK • Review of Green PNPM
Case studies • Pact, 2009. Designing Collaborative REDD Projects: a Case Study from Oddar Meanchey Province, Cambodia • CFI/TGC, 2009. Communities and Carbon Establishing a Community Forestry REDD Project in Cambodia • Katingan Peat Conservation IUPHHK-RE Project (in preparation) • Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve HKm Project (in preparation) • 5-stage/10-step Carbon Development Process (in preparation)
