Abstract

We developed four qualitative criteria for evaluating Indonesia's REDD+ strategy by analysing REDD+ related decisions from the Cancun agreements adopted by the 16th Conference of the Parties under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the important elements developed by Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative to evaluate Indonesia's REDD+ strategy: (1) Criterion 1 is assessing how accurately the developed strategy identifies substantial underlying and direct causes of deforestation and forest degradation; (2) Criterion 2 is whether the strategy establishes a scientifically reliable national-level MRV (Measurement, Reporting and Verification) system; (3) Criterion 3 is whether the strategy achieves real greenhouse gas emissions reductions; and (4) Criterion 4 is whether the strategy includes safeguards to ensure equity and co-benefits from REDD+ related projects for relevant stakeholders, in particular local communities and indigenous peoples. Criteria 1 and 2 can be the fundamental bases of real GHG emissions reduction (Criteria 3). Criteria 3 is recognised as the ultimate objective of REDD+. Criterion 4 is for both bases of the effective GHG emission reduction and complementary objective of REDD+. These criteria and indicators developed can provide basic framework to understand their REDD+ national strategies of the other developing countries as well as Indonesia.

기후변화협약 제16차 당사국총회에서 결정된 칸쿤 합의문의 REDD+ 결정문과 노르웨이의 인도네시아 REDD+ 국가 전략을 평가하기 위한 중요 요소를 바탕으로 인도네시아의 REDD+ 전략을 사전에 평가하기 위한 4가지 정성적인 기준을 개발하였다. '산림전용 및 산림황폐화의 원인 규명'(평가기준 1)과 '국가 MRV 체계 수립'(평가기준 2)은 REDD+가 성공할 수 있는 토대이다. '실질적인 온실가스 감축'(평가기준 3)은 REDD+의 궁극적인 목적이고 지역주민 및 원주민의 권리를 보장하고 생물다양성을 보장하는 '안전장치의 보장'(평가기준 4)은 REDD+의 보완적인 목적이자 REDD+ 성공의 토대라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 개발한 REDD+ 평가를 위한 기준 및 지표는 인도네시아뿐만 아니라 개도국의 REDD+ 국가 전략을 이해하기 위한 기본 틀을 제공한다.
