REDD+ is one of the leading near-term options for global climate change mitigation. More than 300 subnational REDD+ initiatives have been launched across the tropics, responding to both the call for demonstration activities in the Bali Action Plan and the market for voluntary carbon offset credits.
This report, which supplements an earlier one submitted to the Ministry of Forestry in mid-2009, highlights just a few Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) achievements and contributions to Indonesia from its inception in 1993 to 2011. It includes examples of research in Indonesia; contributions to policy changes in part as a result of CIFOR research findings; efforts in collaboration with the Ministry of Forestry and other organisations to educate and inform Indonesian stakeholders on forestry issues through publications, websites, conferences; and the development of Indonesia’s human resources in the forestry area.

The CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA), led by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), focuses on the sustainable management of forests, trees and agroforestry systems.

This becomes reflected in their capacity to perform functions and solve problems to better address national and sub-national development objective...

In the context of the climate crisis, it is imperative that local peoples and communities are an integral part of all decisions relating to resource management. Rather than being seen as beneficiaries or people to be safeguarded, they should be seen as full partners, and Adaptive Collaborative Manageme...
