1. One third of Indonesia’s forest emissions (total of 0.6 Gt carbon per year) occur outside institutionally defined forests, and are not accounted for under the current national policy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+). 2. If current emission levels continue according to business as usual, there will be no forest left by 2063. 3. Carbon stocks outside of institutional forests are more at risk than those inside, and may be depleted by 2032. This is partly due to emissions leakage from protected forests. 4. If carbon emissions from outside the institutional forest are accounted for, it becomes clear that there are no net emission reductions in Indonesia
