Our Commodities & Climate Change Program
Global deforestation is estimated to be the source of
20% of global greenhouse gas emissions with deforestation in Indonesia making
it one of the top greenhouse gas emitting countries. Expansion of key
commodities such as oil palm, rubber and shrimp aquacultures are identified as
trigger to deforestation. A key challenge to reducing the extensive clearing
and degradation of forest is how to balance the increasing demand cultural
products and local energy whilst improving the livelihoods of local
communities.
