started to sincronize Forest Resource Information System
(FRIS) with National Carbon Accounting System (INCAS) in
2007.
Established Indonesia Forest Climate Alliance (IFCA) consisting
of : government, NGOs, private sectors, and international
partners working on climate change issues.
Under the umbrella of IFCA, Indonesia carried out quick study
to assess her preparedness to implement REDD,
The study covered : policy (regulatory aspects both national
and international); methodological aspects (REL and MRV);
financial aspects (international mechanism and incentive
distributions).
Report of the study “IFCA Consolidated Report, 2008” can be

COP decisions and actions at the national level
 COP-13 decisions on REDD+ : Dec. 1/CP. 13 (policy aspects),
Dec. 2/CP.13 (methodological aspects, Demonstration
Activities),
 Scope of activities : from REDD to REDD+ (+ : conservation,
SMF, enhancement of forest carbon stocks),
 Indonesia 2008 : (1) developed REDDI readiness strategy
based on IFCA recommendations, progress in negotiations,
and relevant national policies (road map/REDDI phases and
architecture, (2) National REDD+ Strategy (for implementation)
to be developed during ‘readiness phase’.
 COP-15 decision on methodological aspects  followed up

REDD+ is implemented in phases (Para 73) with the choice of a
starting phase depends on national circumstances (Para 74)
Developing countries aiming to undertake REDD+ are requested to
develop (Para 71) :
A national strategy or action plan;
A national forest reference emission level (FREL) and/or forest reference
level (FRL)  could be a combination of sub-national forest FREL
and/or FRL.
A robust and transparent national forest monitoring system for the
monitoring and reporting (FMR)  if appropriate, sub-national
monitoring and reporting as an interim measure  including
MR of emissions displacement at the national level, if appropriate, and
reporting on how displacement of emissions is being addressed, and on
the means to integrate sub-national monitoring systems into a national
monitoring system.
A system for providing information on how the safeguards (in Annex 1 of
Dec.1 /CP.16) are addressed and respected.

Indonesia National Strategy on REDD+
 Indonesia has started stakeholder process to develop
‘National REDD+ Strategy’ since 2010 (before COP-16),
coordinated by Ministry of National Development
Planning, later be coordinated by ‘REDD+ National Task
Force’  the draft REDD+ Strategy in the process of
stakeholder consultation.
 The strategy address challenges related to spatial
planning, tenurial problems, sustainable forest
management, legal basis and law enforcement, these
challenges relates to drivers of deforestation and forest
degradation in Indonesia.

Development of National Standard on ground
based forest carbon accounting : guidance
 Purpose : address national – sub national issues in MRV
 Relevant COP - decisions (e.g. use a combination of remote
sensing and ground-based forest carbon inventory),
 IPCC 2003 Good Practice Guidance for Land Use, Land Use
Changes and Forestry,
 IPCC 2006 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas
Inventories,
 Relevant guidance on land cover classification :
 National Standard on Land Cover Classification (SNI 7645 :
2010)
 Land cover classification by Ministry of Forestry
 Land cover categorization by IPCC
 Forest Inventory principles and lessons learned dealing with
national and local/field conditions.
STANDARDIZATION, ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE
SNI 7724 : 2011 (National Standard for groundbased measurement and estimation of forest
carbon stocks).
 The standard gives guidance for field measurement
and estimation of carbon stocks at five carbon pools
to support monitoring carbon stock changes with Tier
3.
 The standard is applicable for all types of forest in
Indonesia.
 For mangrove forest, however, litter is not included as
litter under certain mangrove forest does not
necessarily come from the area where the forest is
located.
STANDARDIZATION, ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE CHANGE
SNI 7725 : 2011 (National Standard for development of
allometric equation to support ground-based forest
carbon accounting).
 Allomatric equation is needed in the use of the
standard for ground-based measurement for
estimation of forest carbon stocks.
 In the case of suitable allometric equation is not
available for certain bio-geographical condition,
allometric equation need to be developed.
 This standard provide guidance for the development
of allometric equation for above ground biomass
estimation for mono species and mixed species,
using destructive sampling method.

CLOSING REMARKS
 At the UNFCCC agenda, REDD+ has inter-linkages with other issues
under different agendas which sometimes prevent REDD+
negotiation from making significant progress as expected,
 At the national level, REDD+ is not an independent agenda, its
success and failure will be very much influenced by how overall
issues on land-based sectors are tackled,
 Development of REDD+ Strategy can not be separated from the
development of national development strategy. The Strategy and
other related instruments should be seen as a living document
which allows improvement be done whenever needed.
 Implementation of REDD+ is an evolving process, it should start
with the best available instruments, data, and capacity, and
through learning by doing process continuous improvement can be
done.
