This appointment is in the context of implementing the Ministry of Environment and Forestry's Decree Number SK: 168/MENLHK/PKTL/PLA.1/2/2022 concerning Indonesia's Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) Net Sink 2030 for Controlling Climate Change.
In his presentation with the theme: "Strengtening of Sub National Policies as the Real Action for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions in FOLU Sectors", Governor Al Haris on Wednesday (6/12) evening Dubai time conveyed the Jambi Provincial Government's strategy which will continue to focus on efforts and interventions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
“Jambi has the most complete forest and land ecosystem on the island of Sumatra. "We have a fairly strong commitment and have REDD+ institutions, as well as consistency in policies to prevent forest and land fires, conflict, Community and Institutional Based Forest Management," he said. said Al Haris.
The General Chair of the Association of Indonesian Provincial Governments (APPSI) added that because his province has a REDD+ priority which has progress in preparing tools, initiatives and collaborative planning interventions across sectors, Jambi has become one of the provinces committed to reducing high levels of deforestation, forest and land degradation. .
“We have 3 pillars of Jambi Province's green economic growth strategy. First, sustainable land use, restoration and increased productivity. Second, human and institutional resource capacity through increasing access to development capital and livelihoods as well as utilization of environmental services. Lastly, connectivity and sustainable value chains,” explained.
So said Al Haris, the target to be achieved from this strategy is sustainable economic growth; inclusive and equitable growth; socio-economic resilience and environmental carrying capacity; healthy and productive ecosystems as providers of environmental services; and reducing the effects of greenhouse gases.
“Apart from that, people are more prosperous with a good environment, higher people's incomes, agriculture that is environmentally friendly and oriented towards community welfare, and sustainable forests have an impact on the implementation of social forestry and customary law communities that are better and more prosperous,” he said.
Then continued Al Haris in supporting the achievement of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 target, namely the target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Jambi Province through Real Emission Reduction Programs/actions, one of which is the J-SLMP BioCF-ISFL Program, has been synergized into Long Term Planning ( RPJP and RTRW), Medium Term Planning (RPJMD Jambi Province 2021-2026).
“Jambi Province remains consistent with the programs and activities implemented through regional apparatus, Regional Working Partners, Private Sector and Community Groups in an effort to fulfill the Jambi Province GHG Emission Reduction target and the ultimate goal of contributing to reducing Indonesia's GHG emissions and impacting community welfare,&rdquo ; added Al Haris.
For this reason, said Al Haris, strategic support is needed to achieve the optimal target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Jambi Province, which can be done with the following steps, firstly increasing supporting financing to support climate change adaptation and mitigation in Jambi Province; secondly, collaborative programs and activities to support the protection of environmental ecosystems and biodiversity through the role of multi-stakeholders.
“Jambi Province has prepared a Grand Growth Planning (GGP) Document as a guide for intervention activities to prioritize community welfare and improve the economy at the site level; encouraging programs related to fulfilling Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets in Jambi Province; increasing the role of cross-sectoral climate change institutions supported by International Donor Institutions; "Finally supporting Jambi Province's policy in developing the One Map Policy,"” concluded Al Haris.

Conducting MPA (Fire Care Community) Group Training for MPA Groups that have been formed by providing training and knowledge about preventing and controlling forest and land fires.
The method for carrying out activities is face to face in a meeting room and followed by field practice. The material presented is basic material on forest and land fires which includes legal regulations in the field of forest and land fire control, the basics of forest fires, extinguishing methods and first aid as well as the involvement of relevant agencies in overcoming forest and land fires (TNI, Polri, Manggala Agni, and BPBD). The field introduced team formations, hose reels, extinguishing equipment and extinguishing simulations.
The Directorate General of Climate Change Control (Cq. Directorate of Climate Change Mitigation) in collaboration with the World Bank and the Regional Government of Jambi Province is developing REDD+ activities with a Result Based Payment scheme through the Bio Carbon Fund Integrated Sustainable Forest Landscape (BioCF ISFL) activity. This activity is supported by multilateral funding, which is managed by the World Bank as trustee. This program aims to promote reduced greenhouse gas emissions from the land sector, reduced deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries, sustainable agriculture, as well as better land use planning, policies and practices through REDD+ activities. BioCF ISFL activities consist of three phases, namely the preparation phase (2019 – December 2020), the pre-investment phase (planned for July 2020 – 2025) and the Result Based Payment Phase (> 2030).
Currently the project in question is in the preparation period, one of the outputs of this preparation is the completeness of the Emission Reduction Program Document (ERPD). In order to fulfill the completeness of the ERPD, it is necessary to prepare documents and this is a requirement for REDD+ implementation, namely the implementation of protection or security mechanisms (safeguards) to minimize negative impacts that arise in program implementation. This concept of protection or safeguards covers various issues including transparency of the national forest management structure, participation of various parties, respect for the knowledge and rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, conservation of biodiversity and natural forests, emission transfer and the reverse risk of reducing emissions. Therefore, in the current BioCF-ISFL preparation stage, one of the main activities that will be carried out is preparing the safeguards documents needed to manage all environmental and social impacts resulting from the implementation of the BioCF-ISFL project in Jambi Province. The safeguard documents in question consist of Strategic Environmental and Social Assessment (SESA), Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), Indigenous People Planning Framework (IPPF), Feedback and Grievance Redress Mechanism (FGRM), and Resettlement Planning Framework and Process Framework (RPF -PF). This document is used to ensure that the program design outlined in the document does not pose a high risk to social and environmental aspects. In this regard, the Directorate General of Climate Change Control intends to publish Safeguard documents where the documents in question have received input from stakeholders through Public Consultation in Jambi Province on December 5 2019.
