Learning to Adapt: Managing Forests Together in Indonesia
Learning to Adapt looks at a learning-based approach to collaboration known as Adaptive Collaborative Management (ACM) implemented by CIFOR in Sumatra and Kalimantan. This is a particularly useful reference for community workers, NGO field staff, government extension workers, and anyone wanting to learn more about facilitating local action and learning-based approaches to forest management.
Preventing the risks of corruption in REDD+ in Indonesia
This paper analyses the risks for corruption in REDD+ readiness activities in Indonesia and the conditions that may influence potential outcomes. REDD+ is a mechanism designed under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to enhance the role of forests in curbing climate change, which include forest conservation and activities that increase carbon stocks.
Land and Development in Indonesia
Indonesia was founded on the ideal of the "e;Sovereignty of the People"e;, which suggests the pre-eminence of people's rights to access, use and control land to support their livelihoods. Yet, many questions remain unresolved. How can the state ensure access to land for agriculture and housing while also supporting land acquisition for investment in industry and infrastructure? What is to be done about indigenous rights? Do registration and titling provide solutions? Is the land reform agenda "e;legislated but never implemented"e; still relevant? How should the land questions affecting Indonesia's disappearing forests be resolved? The contributors to this volume assess progress on these issues through case studies from across the archipelago: from large-scale land acquisitions in Papua, to asset ownership in the villages of Sulawesi and Java, to tenure conflicts associated with the oil palm and mining booms in Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Sumatra. What are the prospects for the "e;people's sovereignty"e; in regard to land?
Field guide to Adaptive Collaborative Management and improving women’s participation
Adaptive Collaborative Management (ACM) is a transformative problem-solving and management approach to learn and act collectively to systematically adapt to change and improve management outcomes.
Realising REDD+
REDD+ must be transformational. REDD+ requires broad institutional and governance reforms, such as tenure, decentralisation, and corruption control. These reforms will enable departures from business as usual, and involve communities and forest users in making and implementing policies that a ect them. Policies must go beyond forestry. REDD+ strategies must include policies outside the forestry sector narrowly de ned, such as agriculture and energy, and better coordinate across sectors to deal with non-forest drivers of deforestation and degradation. Performance-based payments are key, yet limited. Payments based on performance directly incentivise and compensate forest owners and users. B...
REDD+ on the ground
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.
Lessons from Forest Decentralization
The decentralization of control over the vast forests of the world is moving at a rapid pace, with both positive and negative ramifications for people and forests themselves. The fresh research from a host of Asia-Pacific countries described in this book presents rich and varied experience with decentralization and provides important lessons for other regions. Beginning with historical and geographical overview chapters, the book proceeds to more in-depth coverage of the region's countries. Research findings stress rights, roles and responsibilities on the one hand, and organization, capacity-building, infrastructure and legal aspects on the other. With these overarching themes in mind, the ...
CIFOR and Indonesia: A partnership for forests and people
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.
