REDD GONE WRONG: OPINION ON NORWAY'S BILLION-DOLLAR GAMBLE IN INDONESIA

摘要

In May 2010, Norway and Indonesia signed a Letter of Intent for a REDD deal in Indonesia. Norway offered to pay $1 billion to Indonesia, if the country could reduce its deforestation. In December 2010, then-President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono selected Central Kalimantan as the REDD pilot province, as part of the Norwegian REDD deal. The province created a REDD+ Task Force, an Ad-hoc Multi-Stakeholder Team, a Safeguards Information System, and REDD+ Social and Environmental Standards.
