Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership Reducing

greenhouse gas emissions from peat in Central Kalimantan

Peat dome covering 120,000 ha in Kapuas district

Wide range of implementing partners

Half of Indonesia’s emissions come from peat. Rewetting peat reduces fire and emissions.

Heavily degraded landscape

Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership

Canals are draining peat, leaving it vulnerable to fire

Some good areas of forest remain

Around 9,000 people live in the area

Local people depend on farming and natural resources for their livelihoods

Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership

Restoring a degraded landscapeThe KFCP aims to arrest a process of environmental degradation:

Fire prevention

Hydrological restoration

Revegetation

Sustainable livelihoods

Incentive payments to communities in exchange for the above

Participation and consultation

Local support and participation are required to achieve emissions reductions

Ongoing consultation process Resident facilitators in 14 villages

Meetings and materials in local language

Safeguards Reference to World Bank

environmental and social safeguard policies to ensure observance of best respect for consultation, participation and mitigation of social impacts

Village meetings, facilitated in local Dayak languages, are an important feature of community consultations

Sumatra Forest Carbon PartnershipCurrent status: New activity, announced by ministers in

March 2010 Strong local government support in Jambi Letters of support from Governor and two

bupatis Will commence in 2011 Aimis to demonstrate REDD+ across a

range of forest types

SFCP: proposed location

Illegal encroachment for plantation development, as well as illegal logging and fire are major drivers of deforestation in Jambi.

Illegal forest encroachment in Jambi

Jambi has a number of ex-forest concessions which are still in good condition, with good potential for REDD+. These areas are facing high risks and quick action is needed.

Unmanaged production forest in Jambi

SFCP: possible areas of supportREDD interventions could include:

Supporting existing processes to establish Village Forest (Hutan Desa) with REDD+.

Capacity building support for provincial and district governments (REL, carbon accounting and measurement, REDD+ implementation).

Ecosystem restoration with REDD+. Activities to work with forest-dwelling

people (Orang Rimba and Talang Mamak).
