Sustainable Forest and Land Management to Support Acceleration of Achievement of Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Targets in Central Kalimantan Province

Description

Indonesia has become the first country in the Asia-Pacific region to receive funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) through the REDD+ Results-Based Payments (RBP) ‘Pilot’ program. Indonesia is entitled to receive a payment of USD 103.8 million for emission reduction (ER) performance results of 20.25 million tons of CO2 equivalent during the period 2014-2016, plus 2.5% as payment for non-carbon benefits.

The project aims to manage forests sustainably, rehabilitate damaged forests, and empower communities to reduce poverty. In addition, the project also focuses on improving forest governance to address deforestation and forest degradation. Funds are channeled indirectly through the Intermediary Institution (Lemtara) to beneficiaries, which cover all provinces in Indonesia. For Central Kalimantan Province, Penabulu acts as Lemtara, managing funds from RBP REDD+ GCF Output 2.

The Central Kalimantan Provincial Government, as the beneficiary of RBP REDD+ funds, utilizes this fund allocation for forest management and protection programs that focus on forest and peatland rehabilitation, fire prevention, and strengthening REDD+ policies and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as improve the welfare of local communities and maintain the sustainability of forest ecosystems in Central Kalimantan.
