CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Improved uncertainties analysis of Indonesia’s Forest Reference Emission Level 2016

Export citation

Under its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), Indonesia has continued to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, the sustainable management of forests, and the conservation and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+) is a key component of the NDC target from the land sector.
Indonesia submitted its 1st FREL in January 2016 (FREL–2016) covered emissions from deforestation, forest degradation, and peat decomposition. As part of the FREL–2016 improvement, the next FREL should consider land-use change dynamics and emissions/removal in biomass and soil. This improvement needs to reduce the uncertainty of emission factors (EFs) and activity data (AD) including non-CO2 GHGs and reinforce sink monitoring.
Analysis in this working paper aims to improve and re-run the uncertainty in Indonesia’s FREL–2016 by using Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). This working paper is expected to provide recommendations for Indonesia and other wetland-rich countries to meet their conditional land use emission reduction targets through improving the accuracy in their wetlands GHG accounting.
