Abstract
This National Action Plan (NAP) to address climate change is a multi-sectoral policy document for the period of 2005-2025. The objective of the National Action Plan is for it to be used as guidance to various institutions in carrying out a coordinated and integrated effort to tackle climate change.
The NAP seeks to contribute to making agriculture, forestry more productive and sustainable. The effort to reduce deforestation and forest degradation to reduce emission is targeting an area of 23.63 millions ha in the period of 2007-2009, 6.15 millions in 2009-2012, along with 10 millions ha in the period 2012-2025. Beside this effort, the effort of combating illegal logging, forest fire prevention, environmentally logging practice in an area of 23.12 millions ha will be conducted continuously in the period 2007 - 2025. In agriculture sector the utilization of environmental friendly organic fertilizer and pesticide refer to the Integrated Pest Management and utilization of efficient machinery should be encouraged continuously. Beside that, the high of water puddle should be reduced, other than could save water it is also reduce the bacteria activity that produces methane gas. The plant residue should be put under the ground to add land organic material and reduce the methane gas production. Environmental friendly irrigation system should be developed, which is the irrigation system that do not use fossil fuel energy. Agriculture and agro industry waste could be processed to fertilizer to reduce green house gas emission. Related with fertilizer, the fertilizing efficiency and the utilization variety that responsive to nitrogen fertilizer should be implemented and application of variety that is responsive to nitrogen fertilizer. Beside that, food diversification also should be socialized. In husbandry sector, bio gas technology from the use of husbandry waste as energy alternative should be implemented, all at once to reduce CH4 emission. In the time frame of 2009-2012, the incentive mechanism in management of forestry sector is expected has been implemented, particularly related with deforestation prevention. in terms of expanding the Marine Protection Area (MPA), the aim is to expand the MPA in Indonesia up to 10 million hectares and increasing it up to 20 million hectares in 2020.
The NAP seeks to contribute to poverty alleviation. Ecotourism should be developed in various regions of Indonesia as one source for income and the effort to increase the income of the local community.
The NAP seeks to increase the resistence of livelihoods to disasters. The NAP also proposes to build the capacity and the resilience toward present climate anomaly or climate variability, among others with: 1. Disaster Risk Reduction program related with climate through reforestation, afforestation, particularly in critical forest/land, in the upstream and downstream (coastal area) with community involvement; 2. Increase the awareness and dissemination of climate change information and adaptation information to various level of communities, particularly the vulnerable community as early preparedness and increasing the awareness regarding the increasing of climate disaster; 3. Development of resilient and perceptive infrastructure system and spatial plan as well as sectors to the climate disturbance and climate change and rearrange the regional spatial plan, especially in coastal areas; 4. Increase the capacity to integrate the climate change by mainstreaming climate change adaptation into the infrastructure planning and design, conflict management and ground water distribution for the water management institution; 5. Modification on standard criteria for design and planning as well as operating and maintenance water infrastructure and facilities (drinking water, irrigation, industry and others) and related infrastructure (drainage, flood control, etc.) for adaptation to the impact of climate change.
