| Abstract: |
Indonesia has experienced unprecedented landcover
changes over the past few decades
Deforestation, forest degradation, peatland
conversion and burning have drawn global
attention owing to the significant amounts of
emission of the greenhouse gases that cause
global warming
Indonesia has declared its commitment to reduce
emissions by 26–41% by 2020. More than 50% of
the emission reduction target is intended to come
from the land-use, land-use-change and forestry
sector (LULUCF)
A monitoring, reporting and validating system is
necessary to compare the performance of climatechange
mitigation actions against past emissions
Credible past emission estimates are required, for
which we need two basic data sets: (1) historical
land-use changes; and (2) emission factors for
each land-use change, before and after the
change |
