Indonesia Government – TNC:Berau Forest Carbon Program
BFCP – why Berau?
BERAU FOREST CARBON PROGRAM
•REDD+ Project covering the whole district area, 2.2 million ha•75% district area was forested•Threat: logging, plantations, mining•Net emissions from deforestation and legal logging of 10.4 M tonnes CO2 per year (2000-2010)•Demonstration phase: 2011-2015 after 2.5 years preparation
BFCP – strategy implementation
Production Forest:
RIL, HCVF /certification
Planta-tions:

REL
Berau Forest Carbon Program (BFCP) Goals for 2015:
•800,000 hectares of forestland under effective management •10 million tons of CO2 emission•Conserving critical watersheds•Protecting the habitat of 1,500 orangutans and other biodiversity •Creating improved economic outcomes for local communities•Generating experience for national/regional/global application
PRESSURES
1. Large‐scale Plantations (timber or perennials such as oil palm)
2. Mining3. Large‐scale Timber Harvest (legal
mechanized extraction by companies)4. Small‐scale Frontier Agriculture (for
example, slash and burn by colonists)5. Small‐scale Traditional Agriculture (for
example, Swidden by Local inhabitants)
CHALLENGES
1. Issuance Licenses that Potentially Lead to Deforestation2. Inconsistent Commitment From the District Government
(Linked to Lack of Financial Incentives and Sense of Ownership)
3.Limited Resources and Capacity of District Government Agencies to Manage Forests Effectively and Enforce Law
4.Limited Coordination among Donors and Implementers5.Limited Capacity of Civil Society Organizations and
Communities6. Inability for BFCP Implementers to Provide Good
Estimate of Overall Benefits at the Moment
CHANGES AT NATIONAL AND GLOBAL LEVELS IN THE FUTURE
1. Indonesia REDD+ Agency Operates2. Agreements on Interim Financing Between now
and 2020 for Performance-Based Incentives and Other Incentives.
3. Implementation of MoU (Central-Provincial-Districts Governments) that would Lead to more Transparent Licensing Processes.
4. Advocate Jurisdictional Approach and That REDD+ should be Beyond Carbon and Beyond Forests
5. BFCP Lesson Learned are Used for Global Negotiations and Bilateral as well as Multi-lateral Cooperation
DEALING WITH CHALLENGES
1. Support and Facilitate the MoU between UKP4 (President’s Office Unit), East Kalimantan Province, and Three District Governments (Including Berau).
2. Help Creating Appropriate Financial Incentives for District to Support Low Carbon Development
3. Support Strengthening of District Government Agencies through Technical Assistance and Secondment
4. Help Building the Capacity of Local NGO’s and Communities
