Currently we have immediate vacancy for high caliber
Indonesians with high integrity to fill the following position:
Project Officer for Green Village
REDD+
Organizational Context
Indonesia
is the third largest emitter of CO2 and the world’s largest emitter from
agriculture, forestry and other land use. Over the past five years, Indonesia’s annual deforestation rate has
averaged around 1 million hectares, which contributes more than 80% of Indonesia’s
estimated annual emissions. Indonesia
has made steady progress in recent years in responding to the global challenge
of climate change. President Yudhoyono’s commitment to reduce Indonesia’s CO2
emissions by 26 percent by 2020 gave new momentum to efforts to develop a
national action plan for delivering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions
On May 26, 2010 the Governments of Indonesia and the Kingdom of Norway signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to establish Partnership for REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) that aims to tackle greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest and peat land degradation. REDD+ is a global mechanism that provides an opportunity for developing countries like Indonesia to move towards a sustainable green economy. For Indonesia it also offers a way to achieve the Indonesian government’s voluntary commitment to the world to reduce emissions as much as 26 percent or up to 41 percent with international support by 2020.
Following the LoI, Central Kalimantan is selected and announced as a REDD+ Pilot Province by the president on 23th December 2010. Following the selection of Central Kalimantan as the REDD+ Pilot Province, REDD+ Taskforce and Provincial Government of Central Kalimantan through a Local Commission of REDD+ (known as KOMDA REDD+) developed and agreed on 7 (seven) working programs to be implemented in Central Kalimantan.
Amongst these programs, there are 3 (three) main activities successfully facilitated by the REDD+ Task Force in the readiness phase that showed significant and promising results that are worthy for further expansion, improved to a more advanced level and replicated to other jurisdiction. The 3 activities are: 1) Community-based Forest Fire Management (CBFFM) that was designed to strengthen the skills of community organization to independently handle the threat of forest fires and land in their respective territories; 2) Special project in Ex-Mega Rice Project (EMRP) that was designed mainly to improve livelihood of communities, reduce forest fire, and starting to undertake reforestation in EMRP areas; and 3) Green School Program, which is part of the environmental education activities to support initiative of the Education for Sustainable Development.
