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.

Are conditional and realistic REDD + mechanism feasible? A case of a rich forested district in Indonesia: II. Option for setting up reference emission level for REDD+ within REALU in Berau, East Kalimantan

Export citation

We use national wide land cover map to conduct cluster analysis of drivers or land cover composition and configuration and land use trajectories District with high forest cover-high deforestation (HF-HD) may set their REL at most the same with level of past emission (Historic emission approach) or certain percentage within their Reference Region. Districts with high forest cover-medium deforestation (HF-MD) can set their REL by projecting changes in drivers within their Reference Region (Adjusted historic emission ).District with high forest cover-low deforestation may set their REL based on development plan and spatial plans (Forward loking) Berau district is classified as HF-LD district.
