OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF
THEMATIC ISSUES OF TPL IN RIAU (3)
■ Social and Environmental Policy Change: There are multiple initiatives and policy changes at
regional, national and international levels affecting tree plantation industry and communities in those
landscapes. There are commitments made as part of the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15),
understand and implement customary rights to lands and to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) as
defined by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). National
efforts, such as Indonesia's Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) Net Sink 2030 Operational Plan, which
mandates establishing a net carbon sink in Indonesia's forest sector by 2030, and multi-stakeholder
efforts at the provincial level, such as the "Green Riau" initiative, will have important implications for
Indonesia's plantation forests at both smallholder and industrial levels. Others are forest-based
companies look towards the opportunity to reassociate with the Forest Stewards Council (FSC) Remedy
Framework and EU regulation on deforestation free products.
■ Sustainable community development, tenure and rights: Community land rights and tenure become
an important issue for sustainable community development. There are differing perceptions among
different stakeholders in regards to community role in forest, and that there is a need for improved clarity
on land rights and land access, as well as better evidence based policy advocacy on the role of
indigenous peoples and communities as stewards of the environment. One Map is an important
collaborative initiative to achieve sustainable and equitable land use and planning in order to support
the government to implement low-emission development. However, community spatial data and maps
were not accommodated as a reference in the process of synchronization and integration with other
ministries and officials data and maps, leaving the communities' land rights at risk.View entire presentation
