Reducing emissions from all land uses in Indonesia: motivation, expected funding streams and multi-scale policy instruments

In the past decade, Indonesia became known as
the country with the highest land-based carbon
emissions. Now it is a leader in NAMA articulation.
Debate has moved from denial to new ways of
dealing with these issues, linking the effort to reduce
emissions from deforestation and degradation, which
is focussed on forests, with a broader approach to all
land-based emissions as part of nationally appropriate
mitigation actions. The Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Degradation through Alternative
Land Uses in Rainforests of the Tropics (REDD-ALERT)
project has been part of this dynamic and now reflects
on the lessons learnt.
