OSabar Minsyah#4PREFACE Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 agenda was developed at the time when the Country was taking a position of High Ambition on Climate Action, embracing 2022 as the year of Indonesia's G20 Presidency. The ambitious target of negative emission for the FOLU sector shows extraordinary but realistic determination, built on the performance for at least seven years in alignment with President Joko Widodo's central message to focus on real work "under promise, over deliver". Now, we have set the milestone for reaching FOLU Net Sink! The legal basis for Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 agenda is the Presidential Regulation No. 98 of 2021 on the Implementation of Carbon Pricing to Achieve the Nationally Determined Contribution Target and Control Over Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the National Development, in the Article 3 Paragraph (4). Guidelines for operation of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 agenda are provided in the Operational Plan document stipulated by the Environment and Forestry Ministerial Decree No. 168/2022. The document outlines detailed mitigation programs and activities, spatial approaches-based operational plan, persons in charge of the activities/programs, human resource needs, facilities and infrastructure, budgeting, and national implementation timelines for 2022-2030. IV The Operational Plan of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 is directed to reach an emission level at minus 140 Mt CO₂e by 2030, and minus 304 Mt CO₂e by 2050, leading to the net emission level for all sectors in the national level of 540 Mt CO₂e or equivalent to 1.6 tonnes CO2 per capita. The target will be achieved through a set of strategic measures. Reducing the rate of deforestation and forest degradation is at the heart of the measures. It is coupled with the actions to develop plantation forests, implement sustainable forest management, promote social forestry and forest rehabilitation with and without rotation. Furthermore, peatlands and mangrove forests, two essential ecosystems storing high amounts of carbon stock will be highly protected and restored for those that have been degraded. Other measures include biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, law enforcement, development of various new policy instruments, as well as development of monitoring and evaluation systems. Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 Agenda has a consequence that efforts and hard work conducted by all parties must be enhanced and aligned in a measurable and accountable manner. Collaboration and synergy amongst the relevant stakeholders, including central government, local governments, academic society, the private sector, and communities in the grassroots level play an essential role in attaining the ambitious agenda. Therefore, substantive climate actions carried out on the ground throughout the Country must be properly documented and systematically communicated to the public. This Book of FOLU Net Sink: Indonesia's Climate Actions Towards 2030 constitutes an important documentation, not only for communicating strategic actions to address catastrophic climate change that have been thoroughly carried out by the Country, but also providing open information about the good performance of climate change-related stakeholder collaboration. It is delighting to see many parties taking parts in supporting Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink Agenda. There is a hope that this publication will become a legacy and reference for all of us in making Indonesia's Climate Action Towards 2030 victorious.

INTRODUCTION T he report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in April 2022 revealed an alarming fact that Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions have caused the earth's average temperature to rise above 1.5° Celsius. This is critical because the inevitability of global warming may trigger catastrophic climate change-related disasters. In Indonesia, climate change-associated disasters have frequently occurred. For instance, prolonged flooding in Kalimantan due to extreme rainfall, high intensity of forest and land fires in Sumatra due to hot weather, and the rise of sea level on the north coast of Java. In addition to natural disasters, climate change also results in failure of food crops and can create an explosion of disease-carrying vectors such as mosquitoes and flies. In order to curb global GHG emissions, the world acceded to the Paris Agreement in 2015. Every single country, including Indonesia, determined its own target for contributing to GHG emission reduction, in which the target was then set forth in their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) document. Indonesia set a target of 29% emission reduction through its own efforts and of 41% with international support. The climate ambition was enhanced in the Updated NDC by strengthening the commitment, which was implemented through several programs, strategies, and actions in the elements of mitigation, adaptation, transparency framework, and other supportive implementation instruments. In September 2022, Indonesia submitted the Enhanced NDC to the UNFCCC Secretariat. The document contains the increased target of emission reduction from 29 percent to 31.89 percent unconditionally and from 41 percent to 43.20 percent conditionally. Apart from the Enhanced NDC document, the Country submitted the Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience 2050 (LTS-LCCR) document, determining a vision to enhance national climate action ambition. The document further affirms the target of Carbon Neutrality, even more, Carbon Net Sink for the FOLU sector by 2030. Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 means that carbon sequestration from the forestry and other land use (FOLU) sector are higher than, or at least equal to its overall emissions by 2030. Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink affirms that GHG absorption from the forestry sector is targeted to reach minus 140 megatonnes (Mt) CO₂e by 2030 and then continue to decrease to minus 304 Mt CO₂e by 2050. Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 serves as the backbone of Indonesia's GHG emission reduction. Referring to the LTS-LCCR, Indonesia's peak GHG emissions are predicted to reach 1,244 million tonnes of CO2e in 2030 and then decrease to 540 million tonnes of CO₂e in 2050. Indonesia is projected to achieve Net Zero Emissions in 2060, wherein GHG absorption is higher than its emissions. Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 was first declared to the global community at COP26 to the UNFCCC in Glasgow, the United Kingdom. Through Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030, the Country takes a "leading by example" position in mitigating global climate change. At the Special Leader's Event: Action on Forests and Land Use, President Joko Widodo conveys undeniable Indonesia's concrete achievements on forestry sector. These include the drop of forest and land fires rate, the reduction of emissions from forestry and other land use sector, and significant decrease of deforestation rate.

(Paris, France, 30 November 2015) 2.1 The Paris Agreement The Paris Agreement is a historical milestone of the start of a new paradigm in addressing climate change issues that have been an object of international concern for the last 20 to 30 years, after the Earth Summit in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil agreed upon the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) and Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1997. In 2015, when COP to the UNFCCC was held in Paris, France, a monumental global agreement was reached, the Paris Agreement, which was purposed to keeping a global temperature rise of this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. In Indonesia's national statement, President Joko Widodo stated that the Paris Agreement must reflect on equality, be fair and take into account national priorities and capabilities, so it must be legally-binding, durable, ambitious, but shall not halt the development of the developing countries. Then, on 22 April 2016, during the High-Level Signature Ceremony for the Paris Agreement in UN Headquarters, New York, United States of America, there were 175 countries, including Indonesia, signing the Paris Agreement. Realising the role of the environment in promoting better life for citizens, in accordance with the principles of the 1945 Constitution, Indonesia ratified the Paris Agreement. The Parliament also gave its support on 19 October 2016 by agreeing to endorse the draft Bill on the Paris Agreement. The Law (UU) No. 16 of 2016 on Ratification of the Paris Agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was later issued on 24 October 2016. The Agreement entered into force on 4 November 2016, 30 days after the date on which at least 55 Parties to the Convention accounting in total for at least an estimated 55 percent of the total global greenhouse gas emissions have deposited their instruments of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession with the Depositary and their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Based on the Agreement, each country must contribute to the efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, wherein their own target must be set forth in the NDC for the period 2020-2030. In the Enhanced NDC, measures to reduce emissions in Indonesia are focused on five sectors: energy, industry, forestry, agriculture and waste, by which the forestry sector takes the largest contribution. The sector accounts for 17.4 percent of the 31.89 percent unconditional target and 25.4 percent of the 43.20 percent conditional target.

This permanent nursery has annual production capacity of 12 million seedlings for regreening and rehabilitation of degraded land programs which will absorb GHG emissions. (Rumpin, Bogor District, West Java, 10 June 2022) 16 2.2 Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 within the Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience Apart from the Enhanced NDC, Indonesia also submitted a document of the Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience (LTS- LCCR) 2050, which contains a vision to increase the on-going ambition of national climate actions. The document states that Indonesia's GHG emissions is predicted to peak in 2030, which is 1,244 Mt, and then decrease to 540Mt CO₂e in 2050. Furthermore, it is projected that in 2060 Indonesia will be able to achieve Net Zero Emission, a condition where greenhouse gas emissions produced and greenhouse gas emissions absorbed are equal, even more, the absorption can exceed the emission production. The target will be achieved through a set of technological development-relevant activities in various sectors which are energy, waste, industrial processes and product use (IPPU), agriculture, forestry, and/or other relevant sectors. Of these sectors' total emission reduction target, almost 60 percent will rely on the forestry and land use sector (FOLU). Therefore, Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 was stipulated, a commitment built to make the FOLU sector reach a net sink condition by 2030. According to Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030, FOLU sector is targeted to reach emission levels of up to minus 140 Mt CO₂e. The target continues to be increased to negative emission of 304 Mt CO₂e by 2050, a substantively great contribution to global climate change mitigation. The Permanent Nursery of Rumpin is established under public-private partnership (KPBU) scheme involving the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, and APRIL. This scheme becomes a model of collaboration in promoting reforestation and rehabilitation of degraded land, which will absorb GHG emissions. (Rumpin, Bogor District, West Java, 10 June 2022) 17#17The Permanent Nursery of Rumpin produces various seedlings including albasia/sengon, eucalyptus, manglid, teak, and mahagony which will generate income for community. (Rumpin, Bogor, West Java, 10 June 2022) 2.3 The Contribution of FOLU to the National Development and Community Welfare Achieving Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 will not neglect national development programs and measures to improve forest and land use- based community welfare. In fact, Indonesia still enjoys great opportunity to improve the welfare of its 270 million population which is still growing, while leading the way in reducing GHG emissions as has been demonstrated over the past 5-7 years. In that period, Indonesia had showed robust evidence in reducing GHG emissions (leading by example) while continuing to spur the economy and welfare of its people. This can be seen from the efforts of the Government of Indonesia to reduce deforestation to its lowest point in history, which was around 115 thousand ha in 2019. This figure was far below the peak of deforestation that occurred in Indonesia in the late 1990s which reached 3.5 million ha per year. Another performance as evidence is the reduction in the number of forest and land fires to the lowest level in the last decade. Indonesia has taken the bold step of halting the issuance of new licenses on primary forests and peatlands. This policy covers more than 66 million ha of primary forests and peatlands. In addition, the Government has improved peatland governance including its water management which covers an area of 3.4 million ha. Leading by example is also carried out by the Government through the efforts of forest and land rehabilitation and sustainable production forest management. On the other hand, to improve community welfare, a social forestry scheme with an agroforestry pattern had been developed and had reached 4.7 million ha by the end of 2021. In terms of forest protection, the areas included in the High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) within 2.7 million ha forest concession areas are sustainably maintained. In addition, law enforcement is carried out through tighter supervision and stronger regulation implementation. These real climate actions aim to ensure that the Government of Indonesia will successfully achieve the commitment of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. 18 19#18One of President Joko Widodo's approaches in his G20 presidency is mangrove diplomacy. President Joko Widodo invites several G20 Leaders and international organization to plant mangrove at Ngurah Rai Grand Forest Park. Planting mangrove is one of concrete actions carried out by Indonesia to combat climate change. With that, President Joko Widodo invite G20 countries to engage in an inclusive green economy development. (Denpasar, Bali, 16 November 2022) President Joko Widodo declares that Indonesian Government is aiming to rehabilitate 600,000 hectares of mangroves forest in the country by 2024. While provide income generation to community, the rehabilitation of mangrove is also part of climate mitigation and adaptation action.

STRATEGY TO REACH INDONESIA'S FOLU NET SINK 2030 P environment roviding a good and sustainably managing natural resources for the nation's welfare is the mandate of the 1945 Constitution. In particular, the mandate is emphasized in the Article 28H of the Constitution that every Indonesian citizen has the right to a decent environment. The article 33 also emphasizes that Indonesia's land and natural resources must be sustainably managed by the government for the prosperity of the people. In practice, this mandate is further regulated by several implementing regulations including the Law on Environmental Protection and Management, the Law on Forestry, and the Law on Conservation of Natural Resources and Ecosystems. The mandate leads Indonesia to the Paris Agreement, a global commitment to preventing climate change-associated environmental disasters. Indonesia ratified the Paris Agreement through Law No. 16 of 2016. The heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of its long-term goals are contained in a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), a non-binding national plan highlighting climate change mitigation. To meet the commitment, Indonesia has developed an NDC Implementation Strategy and two Road maps on Mitigation and on Adaptation. In 2021 Indonesia updated the NDC, and then submitted the Enhanced NDC in September 2022. Indonesia also designed a Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon Development and Climate Resilience (LTS-LCCR) 2050. In the scenario of reducing emission levels, the FOLU sector was projected to contribute to almost 60% of the total national target. Given the great contribution, the efforts of the forestry sector to control and reduce national emission level play a critical role and deserve to get support from both national and global communities. Indonesia's LTS-LCCR 2050 outlines a design of the FOLU sector which is targeted to have reached net sink since 2030. The design refers to Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. FOLU Net Sink represents a condition of carbon neutrality, even more carbon positive which will be reached by reducing emission levels from the forestry and other land use sector. The scenario was designed based on common performance in implementing corrective action policies in the forestry sector, supported by the deep investigation on the forestry issues that have been going on for a dozen years or more. Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 was translated into a detailed operational plan, which serves as a foundation for implementation of emission reducing activities. The operational plan was then also derived into a work guideline or a systematic manual for tackling forest and land uses-related issues such as forest and land fires, deforestation and forest degradation, habitat and biodiversity conservation, as well as peatland and mangrove management.

The statement serves as a directive for the Minister of Environment and Forestry, Siti Nurbaya, and all of Ministry of Environment and Forestry officials to formulate implementing policies as a form of guidance of the implementation. Intensive communication with other relevant ministries is built to sharpen the policy formulation, hence the policies are applicable on the ground. To tackle climate-associated disasters, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry laid out the NDC Implementation Strategy in 2017, which was followed by the preparation of a Road Map on Mitigation in 2019. Thereafter, the existing NDC was updated in 2021. A new document of Enhanced NDC was then submitted to the Secretariat of the UNFCCC in September 2022. Furthermore, Indonesia developed a long-term strategy for low carbon and climate resilience 2050 so called LTS-LCCR 2050. The document outlines Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030, which highlights a condition of carbon positive in the forestry and land use sector by 2030. Net sink policy does not mean zero deforestation, but diminishing deforestation to minimum level while conducting reforestation, rehabilitation, and environment recovery towards carbon positive position.

Moreover, the Government prepared Operational Plan of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030, which was put into force through the Presidential Regulation No. 98/2021 on the Implementation of Carbon Pricing to Achieve the Nationally Determined Contribution Target and Control Over Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the National Development, and its implementing regulation of Environment and Forestry Minister Decree No. 168 of 2022. The Operational Plan was prepared using spatial analysis-based approaches including analysis of forest quality index, high conservation value, environmental services, as well biophysical indexes of carbon sequestration and forest and land fires. It also takes into account several modalities such as forest use direction as (RKTN) 2011-2030, institutional capacity, and existing social capital on the ground. FOLU Net Sink 2030 outlines the following 15 mitigation actions: 1. Reducing deforestation rate on dry land forest ecosystems (mineral soil forests) 2. Reducing deforestation rate on peatland and mangrove ecosystems 3. Reducing degradation rate on dry land forest ecosystems 4. Reducing degradation rate on peatland and mangrove ecosystems 5.

Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink was constructed based on deep consideration in order to support NDC implementation. In terms of strength, Indonesia has enough capital to achieve FOLU Net Sink. It includes the reduction in deforestation and in forest and land fires as a result of improvements in forest governance that have been carried out since 2014 under the leadership of President Joko Widodo. Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink target is measured in a systematic and scientific manner employing spatial analysis-based approaches, such as; Forest Quality Index, High Conservation Value (HCV), environmental services, and bio-geophysical Indexes of carbon sequestration and land and forest fires (IBGF). It also takes into account several modalities such as forest use direction (RKTN) 2011-2030, institutional capacity, and existing social capital on the ground. As a newly published idea, the FOLU Net Sink must continue to be propagated so that it can be thoroughly understood by all stakeholders, particularly in the grassroots level. It also needs to be understood that science becomes a basis to tackle climate crisis, which sometimes makes terminology employed in the UNFCCC pathways unpopular. There is still high opportunity to achieve the ambitious target. The government has conducted interactive outreach to all relevant stakeholders including grassroots communities since the target was published to the public. As a result, all relevant stakeholders such as line ministries, scientists, and non-state actors expressed great support and optimism for the implementation of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink towards carbon positive of 140 Mt CO₂e by 2030. Furthermore, showcases, centers of excellence, and the best practices in the field are developed over all regions to ensure that Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink will be properly understood and implemented in the site level. Details on the implementation and coordination amongst stakeholders involved could become challenging, which might hinder the accomplishment of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink target. However, it is countered through the publication of the Operational Plan of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 which provides detailed design in spatial approaches-based programs and mitigation actions, responsible persons, human resource needs, facilities and infrastructure, budgeting and implementation timelines for 2022- 2030. The Operational Plan is further translated into a detailed work plan at the sub-national level in which the arrangement involves all stakeholders at the Provincial and District levels with assistance from FORETIKA and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. 32 Minister Siti Nurbaya emphasizes the importance of concrete implementation of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 through all levels at the 2023 Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 Activities Plan Working Meeting. (Jakarta, 13 December 2022) 33#25670 IV. BUILDING COLLABORATION A s a tremendous agenda, Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 is not only the responsibility of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 has become a national cognizance, requiring support from all components of the nation. All ministries, institutions, state-owned enterprises, private, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the community at the site level, from men, women, to the younger generation, have their own critical role to play in achieving Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 target. Therefore, consolidation, coordination and outreach are carried out simultaneously to build togetherness and alignment in the steps of implementing Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink agenda. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry has accelerated its efforts to establish collaborative works with all parties in order to implement the Operational Plan of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. Communication with the three main implementing actors has been established since the beginning, including (i) the government and academics as the determining actors; (ii) development partners as supporting actors; and (iii) the private sector and the community as the main actors at the site level. Building collaboration aligns with the mandate of Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC, including the Paris Agreement and the Glasgow Climate Pact, which emphasize the importance of collaboration in climate change mitigation. Communication with all parties is essential to get feedback from them for better policy and decision making, supportive of the FOLU Net Sink agenda. The effort has theretofore got positive response. Academics through FORETIKA have played an active role in disseminating the agenda. FORETIKA is a Forum of Chairman of Higher Education Institutions on Forestry in Indonesia. The FOLU Net Sink Agenda has also received support from the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN Indonesia) which runs the Net Zero Hub and Regenerative Forest Business Sub Hub (RFBSH) programs with the aim at encouraging the implementation of Indonesia's Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience (LTS-LCCR) as well as Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 agenda has been also communicated to the global community. Indonesia introduces the FOLU Net Sink Agenda to a number of partner countries through bilateral meetings and multilateral fora. It is essential since the agenda of climate change mitigation has become a common agenda but differentiated responsibilities (CBDR). President Joko Widodo encourages the Leaders of the G20 to collaborate and cooperate in addressing climate change by observing a success story of mangrove rehabilitation in Taman Hutan Raya (Tahura, Grand Forest Park) Ngurah Rai. The 1,300-ha Tahura that once was got abrasion, after being planted and nurtured, becomes dense, home of 33 mangrove species and 130 animal species. (Denpasar, Bali, 16 November 2022) 35#2636 At the Workshop of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 Consolidation, Minister Siti Nurbaya reaffirms that Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 will become guideline, agenda on climate change control in forestry and other land use sector in Indonesia to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. (Jakarta, 4 April 2022) 4.1 Consolidation Simultaneous, parallel and integrated work constitutes a prerequisite for achieving the target of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. Minister Siti Nurbaya, therefore, has instructed that all steps taken by each work unit under the Ministry of Environment and Forestry must be in accordance with the framework of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink, not to build collaboration with third party beyond the FOLU Net Sink framework. It is to bring all activities affecting Indonesia's emission level to follow the corridors of national regulations. The collaboration and harmonized steps built between the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the Peatland and Mangrove Restoration Agency, and all work units, both in the national and local levels continue to be strengthened through several workshops on the Consolidation of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 Operational Plan during April 2022. During the consolidation, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry had tirelessly continued to oversee the process to ensure all relevant 020 stakeholders can follow the Operational Plan. The Operational Plan builds on the principles of sustainable forest management, environmental governance, and carbon governance, as a national guideline for the implementation of climate change mitigation measures. Jakarta, 4-5 April 2022 37#2788 38 4.2 Coordination In addition to consolidation, coordination with other actors at each level of government, academic society, and site-level actors has been carried out thoroughly. This step is intended to help all parties involved in the implementation of the agenda remain within the legal corridor, and to avoid discrepancy against the stipulated pathway. All teams must work in an integrated manner based on the guidelines; hence Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 can be appropriately measured in term of carbon emission reductions. Coordination is central to the implementation of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030, given that the agenda requires enabling conditions as prerequisites to put it into effect. The enabling conditions that need to be constructed include law enforcement, an emission measurement method, as well as a monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) system for the achievement of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. In the national and global context, a common strategy and binding targets of combating climate change are the responsibility of all parties, from the government, academic, business entities, communities at the grassroots level, the young generation, women, to non-governmental organizations. The responsibility includes commitment and support for funding climate change mitigation actions. Guided by Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 Operational Plan, actions to Sosialisasi Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 Regional Banten, DKI Jakarta, Jawa Barat dan Jawa Tengah IPB International Convention Center Bogor Senin, 20 Juni 2022 combat climate change in Indonesia will refer to a national common strategy, which will direct to the achievement of carbon positive by 2030. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry has rapidly moved to build collaboration with all parties in order to implement the Operational Plan of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. Communication with three main implementing actors has been established since the beginning, including (i) the government and academics as the determining actors; (ii) development partners as supporting actors; and (iii) the private sector and the community as the main actors at the site level. Building collaboration aligns with the mandate of Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC, including the Paris Agreement and the Glasgow Climate Pact, which emphasize the importance of collaboration in mitigating climate change. Communication with all parties is essential to get feedback from them for better policy and decision making, supportive to the FOLU Net Sink agenda. Therefore, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry has held a series of coordination meetings with all related stakeholders, in the event of Regional and Sub-National outreach of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 Work Plan which involves Local Governments (Province and City/ District), academics, development partners, and the public. From June to December 2022, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry had conducted a series of activities in order to accelerate the implementation of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030, such as: regional-level outreach; subnational-level outreach and development of subnational work plans in 12 provinces that have involved all relevant stakeholders at provincial and district levels with the FORETIKA and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry assistance. The series of activities were concluded by a working meeting officiated by the Minister of Environment and Forestry and followed by the inauguration of FOLU Operation and Collaboration Center (FOLU COLL) which becomes the operational control center of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030, integrating development programs of high-level units of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, line ministries and institutions, Central and Local Governments towards a common objective of achieving greenhouse gas emissions reduction using the measurement unit of CO₂e.

(Malang, East Java, 25 June 2022) V. A LONG WAY TO REACH INDONESIA'S FOLU NET SINK Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 has propelled Indonesia to be a global leader in climate change actions. On the other hand, national development still enjoys enough space to flourish, undisturbed by the agenda. The FOLU Net Sink agenda which was constructed based on the Low Carbon Scenario Compatible with the Paris Agreement, introduces a new concept to mitigation actions in the FOLU sector, no longer about zero deforestation. The paradigm of zero deforestation is only campaigned and adopted by several countries that have been a in a net-zero population growth. The FOLU Net Sink also offers a novelty in environmental and forestry management. The novelty is in the form of a common standardized indicator applied for measuring performance of all activities in the environment and forestry sector, namely CO₂e level (carbon dioxide equivalent). In the past, the performance was measured using different indicators including hectares (ha), cubic meter, ton, or Indonesian rupiah (IDR). This novelty brings the designer of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030, Siti Nurbaya to be inaugurated as Honorary Professor in the Natural Resource Management at the Faculty of Agriculture, Brawijaya University, decided in the open assembly meeting of the University Academic Senate, Saturday, 25 June 2022. Creation of the FOLU Net Sink design went through a long journey that Siti Nurbaya had to pass. It started with her appointment as the Minister of Environment and Forestry in the 2014 Working Cabinet under the Joko Widodo administration. A challenging task, Siti Nurbaya had to synergize two landmark issues, green and brown, which were previously managed under two different ministries. The first female leader who led two merged ministries, Siti Nurbaya carried out an array of corrective actions, some of them were even revolutionary. For instance, enhancement of community- based forest management and recognition of Adat forests. Other actions include peatland and mangrove restoration as well as forest and land fires control. She also intensively conducted environment recovery and pollution prevention projects. The role of Indonesia's environment and forestry sector grows to become more strategic in the global world. Leading by example was demonstrated in various international dialogues and agreements aimed at creating a greener world and providing a better support for future generations. Siti Nurbaya was appointed for the second time as the Minister of Environment and Forestry because of her impressive corrective actions and achievements in synchronizing the environmental programs (brown issues) and forestry (green issues), which were fundamental for overall sustainable development. Tougher challenges plagued over the second period of her leadership along with the COVID-19 pandemic and stronger threat of climate change disasters. The challenges have been countered by a novelty that will become a legacy for the nation, in the form of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. 71#44Pending#45President Joko Widodo hands over Social Forestry licenses in forest areas in Central Java and East Java, consists of: 13 permits on Community Forest Management in forest areas with special management of Blora District, 4 decrees on the transformation of Social Forestry Utilization License (IPHPS) to Community Forest Management Permit, 1 decree on Forestry Partnership with Perhutani (state-owned forestry enterprise) in 4 districts, and 1 decree that indicates social forestry groups in 7 districts.

Apart from timber, holders of forest business licenses (PBPH) may use non-timber forest products, environmental services, and even ecotourism through a multi-forestry business scheme. The scheme encourages forest business license holders to contribute to climate actions in the forestry sector. They are encouraged to operate forest management system that aligns with emission reduction measures, carbon sequestration enhancement, or carbon stock conservation. Multi-forestry businesses open up opportunities for the license holders to develop agroforestry, an approach to increase forest cover while improving communities' welfare. The scheme plays a critical role in sustainable forest management. It offers solutions to a number of forestry issues, such as conflict resolution and food security. The scheme also allows the forest license holders to take advantage of NTFPs, environmental services, agroforestry, silvofishery, silvopasture, as well as ecotourism. The new orientation of multi- forestry business has been regulated in Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation, and the Government Regulation No. 23 of 2021 on Forest Administration including its implementing regulations. Minister Siti Nurbaya promotes honey as one of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) which has high economic value and benefit for the community at the Auditorium Dr. Soedjarwo Manggala Wanabakti. In promoting the NTFPs, Ministry of Environment and Forestry collaborates with online marketplaces.

Curbing the rate of deforestation makes up a way to reduce the emission level. Data from the National Forest Monitoring System (SIMONTANA) show that Indonesia's deforestation rate has continued to decline during President Joko Widodo's administration. During 2019-2020, the Country made good performance in curbing the rate of deforestation to the lowest point in history. It was 115.46 thousand ha, down by 75.03 percent against the 2018-2019 deforestation rate which reached 462.46 thousand ha. The corrective actions that have been taken by Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurbaya since 2014 have undeniably had an impact on the performance. One landmark corrective action is permanent moratorium on new forest concessions in primary forests and peatlands. The policy was previously to postpone new forest concession, and then it was upgraded to permanent moratorium through the Presidential Instruction No. 5 of 2019 on Termination of the Issuance of New Licenses and Governance Improvement of Primary Forests and Peatlands. Siti Nurbaya signs a forest cover map as a result of the National Forest Monitoring System (SIMONTANA) at the Auditorium Dr. Soedjarwo, Manggala Wanabakti.

(Meranti, Riau, 27 November 2014) 5.5 Building Sustainable Peatland Ecosystems Another corrective action that has been carried out since 2014 by Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurbaya is sustainable peatland management. Since peatlands are the world's largest natural carbon store on land and a vital nature-based solution to climate change, Minister Siti Nurbaya place them as one of main pillars in Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. Drained and extracted peatlands for farming or forestry has increased the risk of carbon emissions; on the other hand, well managed peatlands will expand vegetation cover and increase carbon LIFAD sequestration, which in turn will affect the nation's economy and welfare. Consistent enforcement of the Government Regulation (PP) No. 71 of 2014 amended by PP No. 57 of 2016, on the Protection and Management of Peat Ecosystems or so-called PP Gambut, followed up by the issuance of its implementing regulations are critical to sustainable peatland management. The regulations provide guidance for the sustainable use of peatlands. Peat domes within peatland ecosystems has to be protected, or if it has been damaged it has to be restored, particularly its vital role in regulating water balance.

For this reason, Indonesia has developed a permanent solution to prevent catastrophic fires. Suppression and prevention of forest and land fires are a critical strategy to reach Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 since they can prevent the release of carbon into the atmosphere. There are three permanent solutions that have been introduced. The first is real-time weather and climate observation. Weather modification interventions will be immediately operated as soon as the weather becomes much drier. The main intervention is to moisten the land so that the risk of fires can be lessened. The second is more prepared fire management operation. It is applied through enhancement of an integrated task force, law enforcement, and fire- care community empowerment. The third is landscape management to ensure forests and land remain productive. Forest and land fire control has been conducted in collaboration between the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, the Indonesian Armed Forces, the Indonesian National Police, the National Agency for Disaster Management, provincial task forces, business actors, and the community at the local level. The collaboration has made good performance.

(Pontianak, West Kalimantan, 11 March 2021) 5.7 Implementing Ecosystem Conservation Indonesia is home to some of the highest levels of terrestrial biodiversity in the world, taking the second position after Brazil. If it includes marine biodiversity, Indonesia will be the richest country in terms of biodiversity (LIPI 2020). A number of biodiversity studies mention that Indonesia is the center of global agro-biodiversity with 10% of total species in the world being present in the country. As for fauna, Indonesia is home to 720 species of mammals (13% of the total species of the world), 1,605 species of birds (16% of species of the world), 723 species of reptiles, 1,900 species of butterflies, 1,248 species of freshwater fish, and 3,476 species of sea fish, as well as various types of invertebrates such as shrimp, crabs, spiders, and other insects. The Country has carried out various measures to prudentially manage and protect the mega biodiversity. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry has fostered the biodiversity in 552 conservation areas of approximately 27.1 million ha throughout Indonesia, and designated the areas as essential ecosystem areas. Several conservation efforts include field security patrols in conservation areas, wildlife rescue programs, wildlife translocation, wildlife rehabilitation, wildlife and human conflict prevention, as well as strengthening law enforcement of illegal wildlife traffic. As a result, the population of a number of priority species was significantly increased, such as the javan and sumatran rhinoceros, bali starling, and sumatran tiger. Moreover, the corrective actions in the conservation areas carried out by Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurbaya have improved the value of conservation activities, leading to strengthened livelihood of the community, especially those living around the forests. By November 2021, a Conservation Partnership scheme applied in conservation forests had covered 176,588 ha, through 347 collaboration agreements made with 55 work units in 69 units of conservation areas. It involved 261 villages, 246 partners, and 12,621 households. Apart conservation partnerships, economic community-based business development was carried out to create positive between communities relationships and conservation areas. In the period 2020-2021, this community empowerment activity had created 1,359 units of productive economic enterprises in 644 villages, involving 965 groups and 26,157 group members. This action will directly impact the sustainability of conservation areas which in turn will support Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 agenda. from Conservation partnership program for community empowerment that opens the access for local community to conservation area in the form of non-timber forest products collection, such as honey. 82 88 83#50G20 FESTIVAL IKLIM 2022 (Penyerahan Penghargaan Proklim 2022) TINGKATKAN AKSHIKLIM UNTUK INDONESIA PULIH LEBIH CEPAT BANGKIT LEKUAT Jum'at, 28 Oktober 2022 13.00-16.00 WIB FESTIVAL IKLI 5.8 Climate Village Program (ProKlim) Launched in 2011, Climate Village Program (ProKlim) translates global and national climate change policies into local actions.

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGHS UNTIL MARCH 2023 Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 agenda outlines the following nine mitigation actions: • Reduction in Deforestation Degradation • Development of Plantation forests • Sustainable Forest Management • Forest and Land Rehabilitation and Forest • Management of Peatland and Mangrove Ecosystems • Enhancement of the role of Biodiversity Conservation • Strengthening of Social Forestry and Adat Forests • Development of Urban Green Spaces and Eco Riparian ⚫ Law Enforcement Some pioneering actions on the ground have flourished that encourage the operation of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 agenda at the site level. For instance, sustainable forest management is implemented more broadly through the implementation of Intensive Silviculture (SILIN), Reduced Impact Logging Carbon (RIL-C), and Enhanced Natural Regeneration. Forest Business License Holders (PBPH) are encouraged to develop a multi-forestry business model. With this business model, the license holders can take advantages of the forest resources for various different purposes for greater benefits. Furthermore, forest and land rehabilitation will be heightened. Noting that during the period 2015-2020 forest and land rehabilitation had reached 574,556 ha. It will be further expanded by involving the role of stakeholders to rehabilitate degraded land along rivers within a watershed. The measures to achieve forest carbon positive by 2030 are expected to be more aligned since the Ministry of Environment and Forestry has developed various modalities or supporting systems to ensure the agenda is achievable. These supporting systems include the Strategy and Roadmaps for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation, an inventory system of National Greenhouse Gases, National Registry System (SRN), The Information System for Vulnerability Index Data (SIDIK), Climate Village Program (Proklim), and other supporting systems.

To address worsening forest conditions and disappearing forest covers, several measures have been taken by the Government. One of them is instructing moratorium on the issuance of new permits in primary forests and peatlands through a presidential instruction in 2011 which was valid for two years. After being extended three times, the moratorium was made permanent in 2019. In April 2022, the Ministry of Environment and Forestry published an Indicative Map for the Termination of the Issuance of Business Licenses (PIPPIB) for the first period of 2022, covering 66,511,600 hectares of primary forests and peatlands, a slight increase of 372,417 ha compared to the end of 2021. The landmark policy has led to a sharp reduction in the rate of deforestation in Indonesia. In the period 1996-2000, the deforestation rate reached 3.5 million ha per year, then it continued to decline. In the 2019-2020 period, deforestation was recorded at only 115 thousand ha, while in the 2020-2021 period the deforestation rate was recorded at 113.5 thousand ha, which is the lowest in history.

Moreover, the forest area gazettement process becomes Indonesia's response at international level as one of the most powerful tropical forests countries in the world. (Jakarta, 30 January, 2023) 96 90 The 2020 Indonesia's forest areas monitoring result shows that there are 95.6 million ha of forested land areas in Indonesia or 50.9% of Indonesia's land areas. Of the 95.6 million ha of forested land areas, 92.5% or 88.4 million ha are in the stipulated forest area. 97#57Pending#586.3 Sustainable Forest Management Sustainable forest management is the core of the FOLU Net Sink 2030 agenda. Current forest management techniques are encouraged to secure and increase carbon stock, while preventing degradation and deforestation to reduce forest emission level. An intensive silvicultural technique (SILIN) is applied to rehabilitate forests and improve natural forest productivity in forest concession areas through selective logging and gap planting or Selective Cutting and Line Planting. The techniques include plantation area modification, tree improvement, and pest and disease control. These techniques may produce logs 3-4 times higher than conventional forest operation, or around 90-120 m³ per harvest cycle. There have hitherto been 119 units of PBPH that have applied the SILIN technique with the areas being impacted of 164,730 ha. On the other hand, the technique of reduced impact logging for lower emission (RIL-C) is able to improve efficiency of forest operation, hence increase forest productivity up to 10%. RIL-C is able to almost double carbon sequestration and carbon stock of forests. While conventional logging will leave carbon stock of forest biomass of only 45%, RIL-C can augment the carbon stock up to 77%. Of the 257 natural forest concessionaires, 30 units have applied RIL-C with an area of 103,596.56 ha. Research findings show that RIL-C can reduce the release of carbon emissions by up to 50% compared to conventional logging. To ensure that the processed wood is legally and sustainably harvested, the Country has developed a Forest Legality and Sustainability Assurance System (SVLK) that applies the principles of transparency and accountability by involving all elements of society in its implementation, including civil society organizations as an observer. have The forest concessionaires that been granted sustainable forest management certification (S-PHL) and timber legality certifications (VLK) include: • Natural forests: 178 units (154 units of S-PHL; 24 units of VLK) • Plantation forests: 152 units (128 units of S-PHL; 24 units of VLK) 100 20 291 Indonesia has developed Forest Legality and Sustainability Assurance System (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas dan Kelestarian) that applies principles of transparency and accountability to ensure every harvested timber can be traced to its sources which are legal and sustainable forests. Implementation of Intensive Silviculture in Forest Utilization Business License areas will increase timber productivity of natural forests and greenhouse gas emissions absorption through sustainable forest management. 101#59102 Intensive Silviculture (Silvikultur Intensif, SILIN) technique is carried out carefully by planting areas modification, tree improvement, use of superior seeds, and integrated pests and diseases control. The results are 3-4 time increase of timber productivity of natural forests, to 90-120 cubic meter per harvesting cycle and able to increase carbon absorption and storage. In sustainable forest management, the holders of forest business license (PBPH) are also encouraged to share space with communities within and outside the forest area by implementing Social Forestry under Forestry Partnership scheme. The Forestry Partnership scheme is implemented in accordance with Environmental and Forestry Ministerial Regulations No. 8 of 2021 and No. 9 of 2021. The Scheme becomes a way for community empowerment by providing access to manage land in forest areas under PBPH licenses while also maintaining sustainable forest management principles. The Scheme also assures that community will receive assistance from PBPH holders, thus equal and mutual benefit collaboration will be achieved. Until December 2022, there were 51 PBPH units that have carried out Forestry Partnership under 322 MoU documents in the forest area of +/- 188,065 ha and engaged with 29,125 people. Honey bee cultivation with Forestry Partnership scheme in an Forest Utilization Business License area. The implementation of Forestry Partnership is started by conducting social study in accordance with government regulations and series of dialogue with stakeholders.

In 2021, forest and land rehabilitation activities were carried out in collaboration between the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the Peatland and Mangrove Restoration Agency in an area of 203,386.58 ha, consisting of 46,752 ha of forest rehabilitation and 35,881 ha of mangrove rehabilitation. Land rehabilitation was also conducted in 7,138.73 ha of community-owned land. To support the activities, 54 permanent nurseries spread across Indonesia supply up to 50 million seedlings per year. A part from that, there are community-owned and village-owned nurseries where communities can use them to rehabilitate their lands. Rehabilitation of degraded land and forests continues to be augmented through the establishment of permanent in each province using a public private partnership (KPBU) scheme. The scheme is one of the forms of responsibilities and collective contribution of the private sector in environmental and forestry restoration. The nursery establishment under the KPBU scheme has been carried out in Bogor (in collaboration with APRIL), Penajam Paser Utara (in collaboration with PT Indo Tambangraya Megah Tbk), Banjarbaru (in collaboration with PT. Adaro Energy Indonesia Tbk), and Banyuasin (in President Joko Widodo with partner countries Ambassadors to Indonesia, Country Director World Bank Jakarta, and local community in Bebatu Village, Sesayap Hilir Subdistrict, Tana Tidung District, plant mangrove.

(Badung, Bali, 2 December 2022) 109#636.5 Management of Peatland and Mangrove Ecosystems Storing a vast amount of carbon, peatlands and mangroves are critical to Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 agenda and becoming a vital nature- based solution to climate change. Moreover, vegetation in blue carbon ecosystems, including mangrove forests and seagrass meadows, can store 3 to 5 times more carbon than terrestrial vegetation. Mangrove store carbon in sediments and biomass (woods, leaf litters). Having huge capacity in carbon storage enables mangrove to become global climate regulator. Peatland restoration has been carried out in a more structured manner since the issuance of Government Regulation (PP) No. 71 of 2014, which was amended by PP No. 57 of 2016 on protection and management of peat ecosystems. The regulation is followed by a set of implementing environment and forestry ministerial regulations to guide the implementation on the ground. According to these regulations, degraded peatlands must be restored. The restoration is applied through various approaches, including construction of canal blocking to raise the peat water level, groundwater monitoring stations, and replanting of burnt areas. Implementing these approaches, the Country has hitherto succeeded in restoring 3.6 million ha of degraded peatlands. A thorough calculation proves that the peatland restoration that has been carried out in the forest concession area of 3.6 million ha and in 49,874 ha of community-owned land has resulted in a GHG emission reduction by 271 Mt CO₂e. Furthermore, Indonesia's mangrove forests cover around 3.4 million ha spread along the coastline and account for more than 20 percent of the mangrove forests in the world. This ecosystem is of concern for restoration measures. Considerable efforts to protect and rehabilitate the mangrove ecosystem have been taken by the Country. While the Country sets a target to rehabilitate 600 thousand ha of mangroves by 2024, the rehabilitated mangroves in 2021 had covered an area of 35,881 ha. To accelerate efforts to rehabilitate peatlands and mangroves, the Government has expanded the tasks and responsibility of the Peatland Restoration Agency to include Mangrove Co-chair of the second meeting of the 2022 G20 Environment Deputies Meeting and Climate Sustainability Working Group, Director General of Pollution and Environmental Degradation Control, Sigit Reliantoro, conveys that Indonesia is ready to share lesson learned and best practices in peatland restoration.

The study has integrated marine ecosystem which covers mangrove forests, estuary or brackish swamps/saltwater swamps and coral reefs; it has elaborated huge potential of blue carbon ecosystem as carbon sequestration and storage, that plays important role in climate change mitigation. (Jakarta, 30 January 2023) 112 Penguatan Blue Carbon Ecosystem Governance di Indonesia Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono states that blue carbon management in the context of climate change is the essential part of the two out of five Blue Economy policies which has been initiated by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, namely the expansion of marine conservation areas to 30% in 2045 and coastal and small islands sustainable management. By expanding the conservation areas to 30%, the seagrass and mangrove ecosystems are expected to absorb around 188 million ton CO₂e. 113#65114 Indonesia waters has 14 out of 72 global seagrass species. Nine out of the 14 seagrass species are found in Kepulauan Seribu National Park, which are dominated by species of Thalassia hemprichii and Enhalus acoroides. (Kepulauan Seribu District, Jakarta, 2019) Kepulauan Togean National Park has seagrass meadows ecosystem that plays important role for organisms in shallow coastal waters ecosystem. The seagrass species found in the National Park are Cymodocea serulata, Cymodocea rortundata, Halodule uninervis, Syringodium isofolium, Enhalus acroides, and Thalassia hemprichii. (Tojo Una-Una District, Central Sulawesi, July 2022) 115#666.6 Enhancement of the Role of Biodiversity Conservation Properly managed biodiversity promotes increased forest carbon sequestration that is an essential part of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 Agenda. Therefore, 514 units of conservation areas covering about 27.14 million ha will significantly contribute to the measures of achieving carbon neutrality and even more carbon positive by 2030. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry embraces the people who live in and around conservation areas to strengthen the conservation efforts, including ecosystem restoration. Of the 200 thousand ha target for the 2020-2024 period, ecosystem restoration had reached 50,251 ha by 2021. In order to protect and enhance the wildlife population, the government has taken various efforts. One of these efforts is wildlife rescue through rehabilitation and release of wildlife illegally held in captivity. The releases of wildlife during 2019-2021 were 106,304 individuals, 241,542 individuals, and 27,292 individuals respectively. Moreover, the births of wildlife continued to increase. In 2021, the births of a number of wildlife species were recorded at 2,790 individuals, from Sumatran tigers to orangutans, rhinos, and the Javanese eagle. 116 Javan gibbon (Hylobates moloch) Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) Javan hawk-eagle (Nisaetus bartelsi) A Sumatran rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) individual was born in Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary of Way Kambas National Park (SRS TNWK), from a rhino mother named Rosa. The birth of Sumatran rhino or other flagship species continues to grow which shows positive impact of conservation carried out by Indonesia. (Way Kambas National Park, Lampung, 24 March 2022) 117#67Pending#686.8 Development of Urban Green Spaces and Eco Riparian Urban communities also play a role in helping out the implementation of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. Their activities are expected to support climate change mitigation; some of them are the development of urban green spaces and eco riparian. Riparian is a transitional area between land and a river that shows characteristics between these two ecosystems. Meanwhile eco riparian is a program of river revitalization in order to reduce pollution loads, especially from domestic waste and garbage. Eco riparian zones can be used as green spaces or a community based- environmental educational tourism area without changing critical functions of the ecosystem. Within eco riparian zones, there may be a domestic wastewater management installation and an organic waste processing site which will have an impact on carbon emissions reduction in the waste sector. The area may also serve as a place to develop nurseries, reforestation, organic farming, or other activities that will have an impact on carbon sequestration and storage. There have been nine eco riparian zones built by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry since 2017, and they serve as demonstration models that are possible to be replicated in other regions. One of them is eco riparian Perumahan Bintang Alam, Karawang Regency, West Java. The area offers productive plant cultivation activities including medicinal plants such as ginger, kaempferia galangal, and turmeric. This area is connected to a 3R waste management facility. To increase its vegetation coverage, replanting is carried out along the Citarum River. Another project is eco riparian Taman Sekartaji Jebres, Surakarta City, Central Java. This 1,200 m² area has a 150 m² waste water treatment plant with a capacity of 80 m³ to treat domestic wastewater from 1,000 households. Minister Siti Nurbaya inaugurates Tjimanoek Lama Biodiversity Park and Eco-riparian located on Cimanuk Riverbank which is established under Public-Private Partnership scheme.

The agenda to achieve a condition in which the level of GHG absorption of forestry and other land use sector is lower than or at least balance with its emissions has been started. It is not an easy task. With hard work, nonetheless, the commitment is achievable. The detailed and target-oriented Operational Plan provides guidelines to all relevant stakeholders on how to achieve the emission level of minus 140 Mt CO₂e, an ambitious target determined in Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. Empirical experience proves that the actions taken by the Country have successfully reduced national GHG emissions while increasing GHG sequestration and storage. Indonesia has sharply reduced the rate of deforestation, significantly suppressed forest and land fires, and improved the governance of primary forests and peatlands. The Country has also succeeded in boosting forest and land rehabilitation and enhancing community- based forest management with the Social Forestry scheme. Corrective regulations and law enforcement are central to all of the effort. These achievements become fundamental modalities for the Country to reach the ambitious Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 target. Moreover, efforts to echo Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 at the National and Sub-National levels have captured support from various elements, from ministerial level to local governments, academics, business actors, NGOs, and the community at the grassroots level. Support for Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 continues to grow, either from domestic and international communities in the framework of bilateral and multilateral cooperation. In particular, the countries that have expressed their support include the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Germany, while the European Union has declared its readiness to facilitate implementation of the agenda. Support from all stakeholders both inside and outside the Country raises optimism to reach Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030. Through this commitment, Indonesia will significantly contribute to combating the global climate change while ensuring the environment and forests remain healthy and productive for better future generations.
