REDD Implemantation in Indonesia

The overall objective of the proposed project is to inform the current policy debate so that international post-2012 climate regimes and national REDD schemes are constructed in a manner that produces real reductions of emission from deforestation and forest degradation. Moreover, these reductions should be met using methods that are effective, efficient, and equitable, and that provide benefits to affected communities in developing countries. The specific objectives of the project include the following: 1. To identify policies, institutional arrangements, and payment mechanisms that lead to effective implementation of REDD schemes; 2. To analyze the political economy and barriers to policy adoption for efficient, effective and equitable REDD regimes; 3. To inform and influence national, regional and global policy processes and ensure that stakeholders have access to the best available science-based knowledge and information on forests and climate change.
