Parallel Session 2A
and Summary

The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) with the support from the Government of Indonesia and participation of private sector is organizing a one-day event to provide platform for exchanges of information between stakeholders concerned on the sustainability of tropical peatlands in Indonesia. The outputs of the Exchange can be scaled up to explore the possibility of engaging broader partners and countries for a more effective south-south co-operation to tackle challenges around peatland conservation and restoration.

The program is designed to allow a smooth flow of information and open discussions around the following areas:

Regulatory framework around the Paris Agreement and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC); relating peatland restoration to the NDC processes
Progress and challenges at sub national and project levels; enabling environment to monitor, report and verify carbon project implementation on the ground
Advancement of science in assessing GHG emissions, peat hydrology, fire risks, and provision of ecosystem services
Engagement with private sector, local community with gender sensitivity in peatland restoration in the context of climate goals
