“…We estimated that the decreased forest loss from implementing the entire moratorium on all the three land concessions would mitigate a maximum total amount of ABC emission at 112 888±24 766 Mg C yr −1 : a nearly 41.89% reduction relative to the counterfactual scenario without any moratorium. Full implementation of the forest moratorium would help Indonesia realize a 'green economy' and meet its aspirations to reduce its CO 2 emissions by 29% by 2030 (Anderson et al 2016). Previous studies have identified deforestation, forest clearing and conversion are more likely to occur where agricultural profits and returns are higher, climatic and topographic conditions are more favorable with a convenient transportation and greater population (Ferretti-Gallon and Busch 2014).…”

The tropics have suffered substantial forest loss, and elevated deforestation rates have been closely linked to large-scale land acquisitions (LSLA). Having a timely and accurate understanding of global LSLA pattern will be critically important for concluding related policies and actions. Here, we investigate global LSLA networks and find that land acquisitions are characterized by dominant acquisition flows from the developing to the developed world (75.4%), and less of these flows are retained within the developing world (22.8%) or the developed world (1.8%). Policy-driven moratoria on existing LSLA are a key mechanism used to minimize global forest loss and recently employed in Indonesia, however their effectiveness remains unclear given a lack of quantitative synthesis. Based on a spatially-explicit temporal analysis of forest loss from 2001-2017, we find that, as a whole of Indonesia, the increased forest loss rate of 0.091 Mha yr −1 (2001-2011) slowed down to 0.001 Mha yr −1 (2012-2017) after moratoria established in 2011. Meanwhile, based on a comparison of annual forest loss in logging, timber, and oil palm concessions, we find that land concessions outside the moratorium experienced 35%-396% higher rates of forest loss than in comparable land concessions within the moratorium. Decreased forest loss from full implementation of moratoria on all land concessions could mitigate a maximum aboveground biomass carbon emission of 112 888±24 766 Mg C yr −1 , which is a nearly 41.89% reduction relative to the counterfactual scenario of no moratorium. These findings lend support for international cooperation and collective action to put into practice effective land moratoria to reverse decade-long trajectories of tropical forest loss.

“…Interestingly, the powerful districts have been largely sidelined in Indonesia's REDD+ framework. In 2015, the newly appointed President Joko Widodo integrated the REDD+ Agency as a subdivision into the new Ministry of Environment and Forestry , which initially slowed down the REDD+ process at all governmental levels (Anderson et al, , p. 33). Due to the closure of the REDD+ Agency , the REDD+ Strategy has, however, not been implemented thus far.…”

“…Furthermore, new Forest Management Units have been set up at the provincial level through the support of different external donors. These Forest Management Units will largely act under the supervision of the central government and shall play an important role in the future implementation of REDD+ (Anderson et al, ; Ardiansyah, Marthen, & Amalia, ).…”

Summary Several scholars concerned with global policy‐making have recently pointed to a reconfiguration of authority in the area of climate politics. They have shown that various new carbon governance arrangements have emerged, which operate simultaneously at different governmental levels. However, despite the numerous descriptions and mapping exercises of these governance arrangements, we have little systematic knowledge on their workings within national jurisdictions, let alone about their impact on public‐administrative systems in developing countries. Therefore, this article opens the “black box” of the nation‐state and explores how and to what extent two different arrangements, that is, Transnational City Networks and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, generate changes in the distribution of public authority in nation‐states and their administrations. Building upon conceptual assumptions that the former is likely to lead to more decentralized, and the latter to more centralized policy‐making, we provide insights from case studies in Indonesia, South Africa, Brazil, and India. In a nutshell, our analysis underscores that Transnational City Networks strengthen climate‐related actions taken by cities without ultimately decentralizing climate policy‐making. On the other hand, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation tends to reinforce the competencies of central governments, but apparently does not generate a recentralization of the forestry sector at large.

“…Portanto, a preocupação em extrapolar e adaptar informações de um nível a outro, ou até em compilar dados oriundos de vários níveis políticos-administrativos, é imprescindível para o sucesso do sistema de tiering (ANDERSON et al, 2016). Mais do que isso, informações claras e corretas (BINA et al, 2011) precisam estar disponíveis, também, no momento adequado, para que seja levada em conta no momento de tomar a decisão (GONZÁLEZ et al, 2011), além de possuírem qualidade e confiabilidade suficientes para serem utilizadas no planejamento (PAPATHANASIOU; KENWARD, 2014).…”

AGRADECIMENTOSEm primeiro lugar, gostaria de agradecer ao Prof. Dr. Marcelo Pereira de Souza por todos esses anos de orientação e pela oportunidade de poder fazer parte do seu exército de gestores ambientais, todos muito críticos e audazes. Sentirei falta das tardes regadas a café na casa 39 que, de tão frequentes, me deixaram mal-acostumado. Obrigado pelo acolhimento e confiança.A todo pessoal que já passou pela casa 39, em alguma das suas muitas conformações, e pôde compartilhar um pouquinho de sua vivência pessoal e acadêmica comigo. Um abraço especial para o Cristiano, Ricardo, Nielson, Marcela, Anaís, Nicole, Wendy, Roberta, Tiago, Rodolfo e, mais recentemente, Paulo.Agradeço ao Prof. Dr. Adriano Garcia Chiarello pelas muitas conversas e orientações "por tabela" que nosso convívio proporcionou, e pelas aulas práticas em sobre como preparar um bom café mineiro.Ao Aurélio Teodoro Fontes, meu sempre coorientador e amigo inestimável, agradeço pelo seu enorme coração e pela paciência em "desatar nós" conceituais que só você consegue desatar.As corridas que fizemos pelo campus não serão jamais esquecidas. contribuíram, e muito, para que eu me tornasse a pessoa que sou hoje. Mais que um alicerce, vocês são a personificação do que há de mais verdadeiro e duradouro. A distância física nunca representa nossa proximidade emocional. Conto com vocês para o resto de minha vida.
