Abstract

During The 2014 UN Climate Summit, world leaders endorse a global timeline to cut natural forest loss in half by 2020, and strive to end it by 2030. The entities endorse the New York Declaration announced dozens of concrete actions and partnerships to implement the New York Declaration and Action Agenda. It also calls for restoring forests and croplands. Reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation, conserving and enhancing forest carbon stocks, and sustainable managing forests (REDD+)is at the center of action agenda. Although REDD-plus calls for activities with serious implications directed towards the local communities, indigenous people and forests which relate to reducing emission from deforestation and forest degradation; there is still ambiguity on involvement of these primary stakeholders in enhancing existing forests and increasing forest cover through appropriate incentive agreed upon by the consensus building process. Local communities of diverse endowment, in and around forest protection areas and designated national parks will be the primary target of consensus building since they are the primary stakeholder whose interest should be well addressed in policy together with local government, local and international NGOs, academicians and international funding agencies. This study seeks to implement its activities at multiple levels in the forest dependent communities of Indonesia. It used literature study, multi stakeholders’ forum, and field observation.
