What does CSF think of the Government of Indonesias (GoI) position in the international climate change negotiations?
In our view, GoI’s position is very weak in the negotiation process. For example, in Poznan, GoI clearly didn’t have any coherence on various measures under discussion (adaptation, mitigation, financing). On REDD, for instance, GoI is very keen to implement REDD without considering the complexity of national forest management. On adaptation, GoI hasn’t made much progress since Poznan, even though Indonesia is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and hence action is urgently needed.
