This country profile reviews the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in Indonesia, sets out the institutional, political and economic environment within which REDD+ is being implemented in Indonesia, and documents the process of national REDD+ policy development during the period 2007 early 2012. While Indonesia is committed at the national and international level to addressing climate change through the forestry sector, there are clearly contextual challenges that need to be addressed to create the enabling conditions for REDD+. Some of the major issues include inconsistent legal frameworks, sectoral focus, unclear tenure, consequences of decentralisation, and weak local governance. Despite these challenges, however, REDD+ opens up an opportunity for improvements in forest governance and, more broadly, in land use governance. More democratic political-economic processes in general, greater freedom of civil society and the press, and heightened awareness of environmental issues can help build support and solidify policies in this direction.

Indonesia’s criminal law system faces major challenges. Despite the country’s transition to democracy, both the Criminal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code are badly out of date, the former only superficially changed since colonial times and the latter remaining as it was under Soeharto’s authoritarian New Order regime. Law enforcement officers and judges are widely seen as corrupt or incompetent, and new laws, including new Islamic laws passed at the regional level, often contradict the Criminal Code and national statutes, including human rights laws. This book, based on extensive original research by leading scholars in the field, provides an overall assessment of the state of criminal law, law enforcement and penal policy in Indonesia, considers in depth a wide range of specific areas of criminal law, and discusses recent efforts at reform and their prospects for success.
Analysing REDD+: Challenges and choices [Japanese] This is the third book in a series of highly recognised REDD+ volumes from CIFOR. It provides an analysis of actual REDD+ design and early implementation, based on a large research project the Global Comparative Study on REDD+ (GCS), undertaken by CIFOR and partners. It takes stock of national, subnational and local REDD+ experiences, and identifies the political and practical challenges to designing and implementing effective, efficient and equitable REDD+ policies and projects.
Ada tiga hal utama yang dibahas dalam buku ini. Pertama, pembahasan terkait temuan penelitian Undang-undang perasuransian sudah ada sejak masa pemerintahan Hindia Belanda hingga Masa Orde Baru, namun dalam regulasinya masih menganut prinsip pengalihan risiko dan untung-untungan. Kedua, walaupun dalam undang-undang telah disebut asuransi syariah, tetapi belum menggambarkan filosofi asuransi syariah yaitu ta’awun dan risk-sharing. Sementara ketentuan mekanisme asuransi syariah hanya ada dalam fatwa DSN-MUI yang mana kedudukan fatwa secara hukum belum mengikat, sehingga perlu dipositifisasi dalam bentuk undang-undang perasuransian syariah tersendiri. Ketiga, atas kelemahan-kelemahan tersebut ...
En tant qu’idée, la REDD+ a tout d’une réussite : Il s’agit d’une approche inédite qui donne l’espoir d’obtenir une quantité considérable de financements basés sur les résultats afin de satisfaire le besoin urgent d’atténuation des effets du changement climatique. C’est un cadre à l’image de la canopée, suffisamment vaste pour permettre à un large éventail d’acteurs de faire germer leurs propres initiatives. La REDD+ est confrontée à des défis gigantesques : Certains groupes d’intérêt politiques et économiques puissants sont enclins à poursuivre la déforestation et la dégradation. La mise en œuvre de la REDD+ doit être coordonnée à plusieurs éc...
Sebagai sebuah gagasan, REDD+ adalah cerita sukses: sebuah pendekatan baru yang membangkitkan harapan bagi penggalangan dana berbasiskan hasil untuk menindaklanjuti kebutuhan mendesak dalam mitigasi perubahan iklim. Gagasan ini cukup luas untuk menjadi sebuah tajuk pohon, untuk memayungi sejumlah besar pelaku di bawahnya untuk menumbuhkan pohon mereka sendiri. REDD+ menghadapi berbagai tantangan besar: Sejumlah kepentingan politik dan ekonomi yang kuat mendukung deforestasi dan degradasi yang berlanjut. Karena itu, implementasinya harus dikoordinasikan antara berbagai tingkat pemerintahan dan lembaga; manfaatnya harus disalurkan dengan menyeimbangkan keefektifan dan kesetaraan; ketidakpastia...
Como idea, REDD+ ha tenido un éxito notable: Constituye un enfoque nuevo que genera esperanzas de financiación en base a resultados para abordar la acuciante necesidad de mitigación del cambio climático. Ha sido una iniciativa lo suficientemente amplia como para servir de dosel bajo el cual toda una serie de distintos actores pueden cultivar sus propios árboles. REDD+ enfrenta retos enormes: Fuertes intereses políticos y económicos hacen que persista la deforestación y la degradación. La puesta en práctica debe coordinarse entre distintos niveles y agencias de gobierno; los beneficios tienen que repartirse y se ha de buscar el equilibrio entre la efectividad y la equidad; es precis...
