HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (national context)A. NAMAs : Indonesia Voluntary Mitigation Action

B. Translating REDD+ activities into national strategy next slide

STANDARDIZATION, ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE

Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions Emission Reduction1. Sustainable peatland management,2. Reduction in rate of deforestation and

land degradation,3. Development of sequestration projects

in forestry and agriculture,4. Promotion of energy efficiency, 26 % by 20205. Development of alternative and

renewable energy sources,6. Reduction in solid and liquid waste,7. Shifting to low-emission transportation

mode.

LINK BETWEEN REDD+ AND NAMAs ( from legal basis and progress in implementation)1. Both NAMAs and REDD+ are under “Enhanced

national/international action on CC mitigation” in BAP (Dec. 1/CP.13),

2. Cancun agreement (Dec. 1/CP.16 Appendix II.c): modalities for MRV of REDD+ activities should be consistent with guidance for MRV of NAMAs and consider Dec. 4/CP.15 target for consideration by COP-17.

3. Challenge to link REDD+ and NAMAs: many ambiguities in COP-decision relating to

NAMAs a lot of progress has been made in REDD+ both in

the negotiation process and implementationSTANDARDIZATION, ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE

REDD+ activities NAMAs in Forestry and Agriculture

Part of activities are related

Possible causes of controversy in REDD+ and NAMAs discussions: 1. At the international level :

Negotiation process: two groups of views on whether REDD+ be part or not part of NAMAs

Other international processes (outside negotiation processes) tends to prefer REDD+ be part of NAMAs

2. At the national level: Diversity in awareness of the issues and views on how to

best translate the international instruments into the national context

3. From points (1) and (2) have we been asking a wrong question? (whether REDD+ is part/not part of NAMAs ? Or how to best link REDD+ and NAMAs?).

STANDARDIZATION, ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE

INDONESIA CASEActivities relating to REDD+ and NAMAs are

ongoing (1) translating COP-decisions into implementation, including efforts in bringing the issues into the mainstream of development planning (national and sectoral planning; national-provincial-district level planning), (2) awareness raising and increasing capacity relating to REDD+ and NAMAs and other relevant issues,

Indonesia is yet to develop her plan to implement the national policy on development and CC mitigation: achieving 7 % economic growth and 26 % emission reduction by 2020 (called 726 Formula),

Critical issue for Indonesia relating to REDD+ and NAMAs is how to ensure coherence between policy, actions, and MRV of REDD+ and NAMAs .

STANDARDIZATION, ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE

CLOSING REMARKS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Both REDD+ and NAMAs are aimed at achieving CC mitigation goals,

Efforts should be directed to identify relevant issues from REDD+ and NAMAs, and work to address the issues,

Follow up COP-16 guidance on REDD+ relating to NAMAs (consistency between MRV for REDD+ and MRV for NAMAs), including what best could be done within uncertainty (including progress in REDD+ and NAMAs negotiations that is not at the same stage).
