  1. How can REDD scheme support the management of vulnerable carbon pools of Indonesian peatlands? Daniel Murdiyarso CIFOR Forest Day 2 Side EventPoznan, 6 December 2008

  2. Outline • Introduction • The progress on REDD • Why peatlands? • Where peatlands are distributed? • Clustering peat typologies • Management options • Possible interventions • REDD challenges and opportunities • Large-scale industries • Capacity development • Managing risks • Conclusions

  3. REDD is one of the decisions to reduce emissions Conservation SFM C-stock enhancement Bali Action Plan Bali Action Plan

  4. Forests are important for climate mitigation • Some 20% of global emissions are from forest and landuse change • Indonesia and Brazil now globally-significant sources of emissions due to deforestation and forest fires • Peatlands have been the major source of GHGs

  5. Land-based emissions Source: PEACE (2007)

  6. Supporting figures • Peat oxidation following drainage Ranging between 355 and 874 Mt/y with a mean of 632 Mt/y for Southeast Asia (Hooijer et al. 2006) • Peatland fires A conservative estimate of CO2 emission from episodic fires during 1997-2006 was 1400 Mt/y (Hooijer et al. 2006). • Peat oxidation following conversions Agriculture, infrastructure, and peat extraction 890 Mt/y (Joosten and Couwenberg, 2008) • Changes of C-stock Change of area of each peat depth classes during 1990-2002 Knowing peat physical properties (BD and % carbon) - CO2 emission for Sumatra was 1061 Mt/y.

  7. As comparison Development aid to the forestry sector in Indonesia over the last two decades = $1 billion cumulative Loss to the Indonesian economy from “undocumented” timber extraction = $3 billion per year Assuming A baseline of 3 billion tons of carbon emissions per year A reduction of 20% below the baseline A price of $5/ton of avoided carbon emissions = $3 billion per year How much does it cost?

  8. Shallow to deep (5.8 Mha = 11 GtC) Deep to very deep (7.2 Mha = 19 GtC) Source: Shallow to moderate (8.0 Mha = 3 GtC) Where peatlands are distributed? Shallow: 0.5 – 1 m Moderate: 1 – 2 m Deep: 2 – 4 m Very deep: 2 – 4 m Extremely deep: > 8 m

  9. Annual deforestation rate on forested peatlands during 2000-2005 by designated forest land-use (x1000 ha/yr)

  10. Annual deforestation rate on forested peatlands during 2000-2005 by peat depth (x1000 ha/yr)

  11. Production cluster (HPH=2.5 Mha, HTI=2.1 Mha, OP=2.8 Mha) VI IV V Protection cluster (10 Mha) Conversion cluster (3 Mha) II III I Clustering peatlands for management options

  12. Clusters by district and level of threats

  13. Possible interventions • Clusters of forested peatlands • Cluster I conversion (APL and HPK), • Cluster II production (HP, HPT, HFK, HNB) • Cluster III protection (HSAW, TN, HL, CA) • Management options • Cluster 1 REDD/CDM rehabilitation (NP, Ex-MRP) • Cluster 2 REDD SFM - wise use development (HPH, HTI, OP) • Cluster 3 REDD conservation (NP, BioD) • Water is friend and fire is enemy for REDD • Water co-management to avoid subsidence • Fire co-management to avoid wild fires • Regulatory framework • Keppres 32/1990: Not to develop peat >3m • Inpres 2/2007: Rehabilitation of ex-Mega Rice Project • MenEkon 14/2001: Integrated Water Resource • PP 4/2001: Forbidding the use of fire

  14. Evapotranspiration CO2 emissions Evaporation < < < > > > < < < Fire  Fire Fire Oxidation + Compaction Oxidation + Compaction Subsidence = = Subsidence Water table Drainage canal Managing emissions: drainage and fires

  15. Evapotranspiration CO2 emissions Evaporation < < < > > > < < < Fire  Fire Fire Oxidation + Compaction Oxidation + Compaction Subsidence = = Subsidence Water table Drainage canal Managing emissions: drainage and fires

  16. C&I for demonstration activities

  17. REDD challenges:Pulp and paper industries • Over-capacity of pulp mills – leads to further conversions of natural (peat) forests • Insufficient supply of fiber – potentially leads to emission displacement • Paper demand in international markets – leads to international leakage

  18. REDD challenges:Oilpalm development in Indonesia(x 1000 ha) Sumber: World Bank, 1999

  19. REDD challenges:Biofuels development • Oil palm plantations often result in forest conversions and thus increase emissions • Peatlands are the target for further expansions • Can we avoid deforestation while promoting biofuels?

  20. Mineral soil – 75 yrs Involving fire – 110 yrs On peatlands – 600 yrs Impacts on emissions

  21. Potential for REDD “win-wins” Emissions reduction and…. • Reduce poverty • Improved livelihoods • Conservation of biological diversity and watershed functions • Improved forest governance

  22. Potential risks for REDD • Human rights violation • Marginalize the worse-off • Mis-use of funds • Emission reduction effectiveness

  23. Can REDD moves ahead? • Bali Action Plan • Demonstration activities • Future and on-going capacity development

  24. Conclusions • REDD on peatlands may be implemented using three different management options: • Peatlands conservation, • Wise use development, and • Peatlands rehabilitation • C&I for peatlands REDD are needed to be tested against verifiers during demonstration activities • Strong governance, institutions and regulatory framework are needed • Water and fire co-management are necessary

  25. Money may finally grow on trees left standing and peat kept protected
