Efforts to Support Mitigation and Adaptation Simultaneously Institutional Development

24 Capacity Building • Plans to establsh clmate ield schools n 25 provnces 150 dstrcts ctes to ncrease farmers’ understandng of clmate nformaton and ts applcaton. A clmate ield school has been establshed n Indramayu snce 2003. The establshment of Clmate Feld School s cooperaton between Department of Agrculture, Meteorologcal and Geophyscs Agency, local government and Insttute Pertanan Bogor IPB wth fundng from Natonal Oceanc and Atmospherc Admnstraton.

1.4.3 Efforts to Support Mitigation and Adaptation Simultaneously Institutional Development

• Establshed Natonal Commttee for Clmate Change through Envronmental Mnsteral Decree No.532003. The members of ths Natonal Commttee are representatves from departments and nsttutons related to clmate change. • Revson on Act No.231997 concernng Envronmental Management to nclude clmate change ssue. • Formulaton of Presdental Regulaton concernng Clmate Change that wll be functon as umbrella to all actvtes related wth clmate change mpact, both n term of mtgaton and adaptaton. LULUCF Sector • Land Rehabltaton and Reforestaton o Natonal Movement for Land rehabltaton Gerhan s a movement to replant forest over 59 mllon ha of crtcal land n Indonesa. Ths program wll be focused on 3 mllon ha of rver watersheds n Indonesa. In the perod of 2003-2007 an area of 4 mllon ha has been planted. o Toward Green Indonesa MIH, s a program of supervsng the performance of dstrcts n enforcng natural resource conservaton regulatons and controllng envronmental damage. Ths program has run from 2006 wth classicaton of hghland areas, lowland areas, and small slands. The targets of MIH are the ncrease of vegetaton coverage mprovement of water management, sol and coastal stablzaton, ncreased energy conservaton and ncreased atmospherc protecton. Ths s n accordance wth Government Regulaton N0. 471997 regardng Natonal Spatal Plan and Act 272007 regardng Spatal Plan. 25 • Management of Peat Land o Presdental Instructon No. 22007 concernng Revtalzaton and Rehabltaton of Sustanable Peat Land. o Draft formulaton on Sustanable Peat Land Management. o Mnstry of Envronment has conducted an nventory and mappng of peat characterstcs. Ths nformaton has been presented by State Mnstry of Envronment to the related local government and nsttutons for spatal plannng formulaton and permt requrement. o Conduct peat envronment restoraton by dammng channels to ncrease and mantan the water level of the peat land. • Rver watershed programs based n Forestry and Plantaton Mnstry No. 284Kpts-II1999 stated that 472 rver watersheds should be addressed, consstng of 62 prorty 1 rver watersheds, 232 prorty 2 rver watersheds and 178 prorty 3 rver watersheds. • The Heart of Borneo s a name gven to 22 mllon ha of tropcal ran forest n Kalmantan that extends through Indonesa, Malaysa and Brune Darussalam. Ths regon conssts of conservaton and cultvaton areas that are managed for sustanablty. The Heart of Borneo declaraton was sgned on 12 February 2007 and ncluded the three countres’ commtment to manage the Kalmantan forest regon n a sustanable way. • Improvement of land polcy. Effectve land polcy could ndrectly result n the reducton of emssons through the decrease of forest degradaton and deforestaton. The certanty of rghts and dutes partcularly related to land ttle can reduce negatve mpacts and make land users more capable to adapt the clmate change. Marine Sector • The APEC Marne and Fsheres Mnsteral Meetng n Bal n September 2005 adopted the “Bal Plan of Acton”. Ths document s a reference for Asa-Pacic countres n marne resource sustanable management to antcpate the mpact of clmate change to natonal development. • In September 2007 n the APEC Summt at Sydney, Australa, the 21 leaders of the APEC members supported the marne ntatve proposed by Indonesa, namely ”Coral Trangle Intatve” CTI. The Indonesan proposal was submt together wth 5 other countres, whch are Malaysa, Phlppnes, Papua New Gunea, Tmor Leste and Solomon Islands. One of the man agenda of the CTI program s the mtgaton and adaptaton 26 of the clmate change mpact at the regonal level through conservaton and preservaton of 75,000 km 2 coral reef n the sx countres CT-6. • For “semi-enclosed water”, accordng to Unted Natons Conventon on the Law of the Seas 1982 UNCLOS-1982 paragraph 122-123, the “Arafura and Tmor Seas Expert Forum” ATSEF program supports cooperaton between Indonesa, Australa and Tmor Leste for protecton of the ecosystem and marne conservaton n the Arafura and Tmor Seas. Lkewse n the northern Indonesan waters, cooperaton wth Malaysa has been ntated for marne conservaton through the Sulu-Sulawes Marne Eco-regon SSME program. 27 CHAPTER II THE OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE ANTICIPATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE As an archpelagc state, Indonesa s partcularly vulnerable to the mpacts of clmate change. Furthermore, as a developng country, t does not have the capacty to adapt to clmate change as well as a developed country. Therefore, t s a concern that development conducted by the government wll be hampered by the mpacts of clmate change. The poor are the group most vulnerable to the mpacts of clmate change, and they are also the most mpacted group because of the obstructon of natonal development. Therefore any response to clmate change should nclude poverty allevaton. The trple track strategy whch s pro-poor, pro-job and pro-growth should become an ntegral part of the natonal strategy to address clmate change. The natonal strategy addressng clmate change should therefore also be drected to socal engneerng development, so communtes can have a systematc, planned and thorough socal change n order to get socal and ecologcal beneit.
