Indonesia’s ER program aligns with East Kalimantan’s low-emission development approach, implemented through strategies and action plans that build on the province’s strong leadership in addressing climate change. It is designed to incentivize reduced deforestation and forest degradation in the province through sustainable forest management activities, including forest licensing improvements, strengthening forest management capacity, and promoting community-based planning. The program also focuses on addressing the province’s main drivers of deforestation and forest degradation through improved forest governance, protection and rehabilitation of peatland areas, and support for alternative livelihoods and community forestry. This is Indonesia’s first jurisdictional-level ER program, serving as an example for other subnational governments in the country. View Country Profile
