Financial Cooperation

The government of Germany commissioned KfW for financial and GIZ for technical support of FORCLIME. REDD demonstration activities financed by KfW are – together with other initiatives (i.e. AusAID; TNC; WWF) – among the first REDD “on the ground projects” in Indonesia (and worldwide). The REDD pilots are meant to demonstrate that local development, sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation and climate protection go hand-in-hand.

Embedded in an overall framework for Readiness, REDD demonstration activites shall provide alternative income opportunities supporting more carbon-sensitive land-use, sustainable community development and biodiversity conservation. Demonstration activities shall address different drivers of deforestation and degradation and will be implemented in cooperation with different stakeholders. Activities include community forestry (focussing on forest dependent communities supporting their land use rights and livelihoods) and support to less destructive forest management practices in (certified) forest concession areas like Reduced Impact Logging (RIL).

PROGRAMME PHASING AND ACTIVITIES

The programme includes components as follows:
Enabling readiness:

• Create an enabling REDD framework on national level in cooperation with other initiatives, and facilitate project implementation in selected districts/ project locations through support for the forest administration reform;
• Establishment of district reference emission levels consistent with the national level by monitoring of carbon stocks (remote sensing, field inventories) through a district-wide monitoring system;
• Monitoring systems shall be linked to the responsible district agencies for land-use planning to act as a decision support system for carbon-sensitive land-use planning;
• Support to financing mechanisms and development of REDD payment schemes;
• Support to policy formulation at both national and international REDD negotiations.

Investments in Demonstration Activities:

• Financing REDD Demonstration activities “on the ground” in 3 districts of Kalimantan; addressing main drivers of deforestation/ degradation, focussing on different types of forest lands (e.g. production forests, protected forests, conservation forests);
• Linking pilot schemes to emerging voluntary carbon markets.
