Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR)Menggali Peluang dan Tantangan: Kerangka Pengaman Sosial REDD+ di IndonesiaStandar kerangka pengaman sosial dalam konteks Pengurangan Emisi dari Deforestasi dan Degradasi Hutan (REDD+) telah menyita banyak perhatian, terutama saat banyak negara mulai bergerak menuju fase pembayaran berbasis hasil (RBP). Persyaratan kerangka pengaman juga menekankan pada perlindungan hak masyarakat adat dan masyarakat lokal selama proses REDD+.
Mengingat kemajuan ini, terdapat kebutuhan untuk fokus pada kerangka pengaman sosial yang sudah dirancang dan dilaksanakan di lapangan. Bagian penting dari proses ini adalah memahami peran kerangka pengaman sosial untuk memperkuat hak-hak masyarakat adat dan masyarakat lokal, dan mendorong perubahan dari inisiatif yang tidak merugikan menjadi inisiatif yang lebih baik.

The world's second-largest rainforest provides critical ecological services that millions of people and myriad species rely on. It is also a massive carbon sink, storing tens of billions of tons of carbon in its trees, soils and peatlands. One would think protecting it would be an international priority, and yet funding commitments have historically struggled to adequately finance forest protection in the region. Experts say many commitments end before funding can be fully disbursed, and efforts rarely translate to a better life for local communities who live...2023-08-291h 09
