REDD+(plus)
REDD+(plus) : ( Source: ) Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation, and(plus) the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests, and enhancement of forest carbon stocks

Summary
(1) CO2 emission reduction: 20,000 tCO2 x 5 projects = 100,000 tCO2/year (2) MRV as CO2 emission reduction measuring tool: MRV is useful for RAD-GRK in Sulawesi (3) Capacity Building for avoiding deforestation activity: Model Project helps Forestry Dept. to avoid deforestation (4) Incentives for maintaining forest : Subsidy or Carbon Credits from JCM/BOCM scheme (5) Safeguard and/or Incentive program : Japanese Solar Power System helps community livelihood

Deforestation Driver in Gorontalo

Corn Agriculture is major industry of Gorontalo. Main driver is Slush & Burn for Shifting Corn Agriculture

Model project helps Mind-Set of Corn Farmers: Corn agriculture -> other opportunities (Cacao, Afforestation,,,)

How to set Project Area in Boalemo ?

Forest to be protected
Model Villages C) Ayuhulalo D) Botumoito E) Hutamonu F) Dulangeya G) Rumbia

Project Area : 20,230ha Reference Area : 155,020ha

Model Project Area consists of several forest types.

Setting Boundaries
Project/Reference areas is identified for calculating CO2 emissions reduction

Overview of MRV methodology

CO2 emission reduction can be quantified Forest area change and emission factors must be identified for calculating CO2 emissions.
Forest area change [ha] 1991 2000 2010 Emission Factor [tC/ha] Emissions (estimated) [tCO2]

CO2 emissions

By analyzing satellite maps, forest area change can be quantified

Data on Emission Factor

Emission factors publicized by MoFor is applied to our MRV. In addition, by conducting local sampling survey or literature survey, emission factors can be adjusted properly.

Reference Emission Levels

Based on the historical trends of carbon stock changes, RELs can be established. Model Project may reduce 30,000 t-CO2/year. With success rate of 70%, approx 20,000 t-CO2/year is expected.
Historical trends of carbon stock changes

-1.3%/year (carbon stock base) By keeping forest with Bupati in 5 districts, 100,000 t CO2/year of carbon credits will be expected in Gorontalo and North Sulawesi.

Nested Approach
Model project will contribute to Ministry of Forestry, who develops Sub-National REDD+ project in Central Sulawesi.

Indonesia National REDD+

Gorontalo North Sulawesi UN-REDD

Sulawesi Sub-National REDD+

Model Project will function as a part of Sub-National REDD+ project by Nested Approach in the near future.

Ground Truthing Activity

Model Project provides the supervising of field survey Ground Truthing as new employment for communities. This activity enables MRV to measure CO2 more accurately.

Incentive of JCM/BOCM
Model project plans to consider Subsidy, or Carbon Credits in the future as incentive.

Indonesia Gorontalo Boalemo

Matsushita Gobel Foundation has already provide a set of Solar Panels for a village (DTM) of immigrated people from deforestation area.

Solar Power for Local Community

In Boalemo district, there are Medical Clinics without electric power. Pregnant women are difficult condition. ( Jica Volunteer)
( Local Clinic without elec. ) ( Infusion with candle light)

Japanese aid for Solar Power system is seriously expected. Model Project plans to support the community livelihood.

Implementation Stage
Now, the local governments are well prepared to implement Model Project with Japanese FS team.

We, together with Bupati and communities, appreciate positive decision by both Indonesian and Japanese Governments.
