GHG Mitigation Role at the Local Level

Guideline for Implementing Green House Gas Emission Reduction Action Plan 87

7.2 Synergistic Relationship between RAN and RAD-GRK

National Action Plan for Green House Gas RAN-GRK is a policy guideline for the central government, local governments and related sectors to reduce GHG emissions by 26 with its own domestic efforts and up to 41 with international support from BAU baseline scenario in 2020. The RAN-GRK document contains key and supporting activities to attain targets for each key sector namely forestry and peat land, agriculture, energy and transport, industry and waste management. According to Perpres on RAN-GRK, RAD-GRK must be prepared by Provincial Governments as a working document and the basis for all local development actors at the provincial, districtcity levels which consist of local governments, communities and private sectors in carrying out key and supporting activities related to GHG emission reduction during 2010-2020. Thus, RAN-GRK is the basis for the central government, local governments, communities and business actors in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating RAD-GRK. The synergy between these two multi-sectoral plans can be seen in Figure 27.

7.3 Goal and Objective

The goal of Chapter 7 is to provide a general reference for provincial governments including district city on policies and authorities national and local related to GHG emission reduction efforts, mitigation scope, and to what extent there is local involvement in the efforts, based on local characteristics, potential and authorities. Guideline for Implementing Green House Gas Emission Reduction Action Plan 88 The expected objectives are that: a Provincial governments can develop cross-cutting GHG emission reduction planning documents. b Provincial governments can develop appropriate strategies for GHG emission reduction. c Provincial governments will have information on local investment opportunities related to climate change mitigation activities. d Local agencies, organizations, human resources will have increased capacities, roles, and responsiveness to climate change mitigation issues.

7.4 Policies and Institutional Matters

In the sub-chapter below, the existing relevant national policies and RAD- GRK implementation at the local level will be explained. Beside that, roles and administrative and technical authorities of provincial governments and related sector agencies in the regions in preparing RAD-GRK documents will be outlined. In the implementation phase, explanation on some related sectors will refer to the national planning document namely RAN-GRK. This is deemed necessary in order to develop integration and suitability of mitigation programsactivities among governmental levels.

7.4.1 Policy Framework and Normative Reference on Climate Change

The Government of Indonesia has produced some regulations and policies on climate change adaptation and mitigation, namely: National Action Plan for Green House Gas Emission Reduction RAN-GRK and Indonesia Climate Change Sectoral Roadmap ICCSR. In particular, RAN-GRK is a long-term planning document that regulates GHG emission reduction efforts related to substances of the Long-Term Development Plan RPJP and Medium-Term Development Plan RPJM. The action plan document is also a key reference for development actors at the national, provincial and districtcity levels in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of GHG emission reduction. The RAN-GRK mandate to provincial governments is to develop action plans for GHG emission reduction at the provincial level which also includes district city which is called Local Action Plan for Green House Gas Emission Reduction RAD-GRK. RAD-GRK development, which is established through the Governor’s Regulation, is based on RAN-GRK’s substances. In developing RAD-GRK, it is expected to conduct bottom-up processes which will describe
