Goal 13. Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Goal 12. Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Indonesian peatland to 1/3 or 1/5 of current emissions, counting as credits for Japan
In addition to being adopted as domestic policy in Indonesia, outcomes used for establishing international rules and for bilateral carbon offset mechanisms.
Project objectives
Develop carbon management methods that can cut carbon emissions from peatland to 1/3-1/5 of current levels, and propose the methods to central/regional government and local communities.
100%
Contingent outcomes
Develop water management and afforestation method to prevent fire and decomposition in tropical peatland (Propose optimum water level for 10 sq km research area.
Propose afforestation plans based on water level.
Propose extinguishing strategies including infrastructure plans based on understanding of water vein status.)
Develop fire detection / fire spread forecasting / communication / extinguishing system
(Fire occurrence data available within 16 hours when fire of over 1 sq km occurs
Fire spread forecasts available within 8 hours
Detection rate and accurate rate at least 80%
Fire spread forecasating error (calculated as equivalent area) within 50%)
Develop integrated MRV system in preparation for standardization
(Error: within 20%)
Develop carbon assessment models (Error: within 20%)
Contribution to Japanese government, society, and industry
- Utilization in climate change frameworks at global level
- Commercial application of outcomes by Japanese companies
Development of science and technology
- Preservation of Indonesia’s tropical forests (preservation of ecology / biodiversity)
- Feedback to successor entity (Hyper)
Acquisition of intellectual property, international standardization, access to bioresources, etc.
- Fire detection system using satellites
- Equipment for quantitative determination of carbon emissions
- Development of weirs, methods for restoring forest
- Samples of peat decomposition microorganisms, vegetation that can grow in a strongly acidic environment
Training Japanese human resources capable of working on the global stage
- Training young Japanese researchers resources to be able to work internationally (ability to lead international conferences, publish papers in peer-reviewed journals, etc.)
Building of technology and human networks
