The EU REDD Facility and Sebijak Institute analysed Indonesia’s legal and policy framework on forest governance, with a focus on forest conversion and restoration. They assessed the extent to which policies and regulations help reduce deforestation, accelerate restoration, and empower indigenous peoples and local communities.
The EU REDD Facility is conducting in collaboration with the Indonesian Civil Society Organisation KARSA a study to assess options for legal and sustainable production and trade of timber from customary forests. The focus will be on integration of customary forests into Indonesia’s timber legality assurance system (SVLK). The study will inform subnational multi-stakeholder dialogues and national-level policy process on customary forests and legal timber production.
The EU REDD Facility, in collaboration with Inovasi Bumi and Climate Focus, is carrying out a study to determine how clarified and implemented legal frameworks could contribute to reducing deforestation in Indonesia. This reduced deforestation would help the country achieve the forest-related targets in its nationally determined contribution under the Paris Agreement on climate change.
The EU REDD Facility and Yayasan Penelitian Inovasi Bumi (INOBU) have been working together since 2013 to explore opportunities to clarify tenure and land-use rights as a means to improve land use governance in Indonesia’s West Papua province.
The EU REDD Facility worked with the Government of Indonesia to assess the feasibility of linking information on licences for mining, plantations and forestry with data on revenues in the Government of Indonesia licensing information system. The study led to recommendations for piloting the integration of data on revenue into the licensing system in two districts in Jambi.
The EU REDD Facility supports countries in improving land-use governance as part of their efforts to slow, halt and reverse deforestation. It also supports the overall EU effort to reduce its contribution to deforestation in developing countries. The Facility focuses on countries that are engaged in REDD+, an international mechanism that incentivises developing countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from their forest and land-use sectors. The Facility is hosted by the European Forest Institute and was established in 2010.
