Nepal had informed in our bilateral discussion:
REDD + has big a potential to work in Nepal and could act as a source of revenue and development support for communities and governments. The implementation of REDD+ in Nepal would not only be contributing to the reduction in the atmosphere, it would act as a form of revenue. In Nepal putting MRV and community forestry into a landscape perspective Nepal has a long history of community forest management by local people. It is done at sub village level, through “forest user groups (FUG)” which are groups of around 10-25 families.
Indonesia
REDD + in Indonesia
In this discussion, we just talk what Indonesia do in general and what my school action due to climate change. There two programs to minimize the affect of climate change in Indonesia
Climate change solution in Indonesia as below:
- 1.Paris Agreement as Indonesia guidance to reduce our emissions. Government and school policies commit to support our president’s commitment that 2020 without assistance from aboard. Reducing our emissions by 26% and with assistance from aboard we have to reduce our emissions by 41 % (Paris Agreement)
School action to minimize climate change
- 1.Educational Action: Environment Education (Sustainable Character Building)
- 2.Educate student to do ‘good mining practice’ when manage coal mining
- 3.Encourage students to do some renewable energy research
- 4.School Policies (Forbid student to ride motorcycle schools surround and project resources renewable energy)
“Adiwiyata” and Green School are schools program to save our world from Indonesia.
Nice Bilateral Discussion.

Hi Sri,
Thanks for posting your response to assignment 3b! It’s amazing that it’s only been a little over a month since this project started and we’ve come so far!
Before I make any other comments, I have got to take the time to learn more about REDD+. Until I participated in this project, I had not heard of this program and it sounds very interesting. If I remember correctly, REDD+ has already been implemented (in some ways) in Indonesia and has shown promise, which is great. It sounds like Nepal could benefit from the program as well. Does Nepal already participate in other ways with REDD+, or would they be completely new to the program? Did you discuss if the Nepalese government is already working to implement REDD+, or is it still just in the idea stage?
I’m curious about the four items you listed that are being done at school to help minimize climate change in Indonesia. Are these all done at the secondary or high school level, or at the college or professional school level? I’m impressed if students are learning about good mining practices at the high school level. If that is the case, does that means the majority of high school graduates end up working in the coal mining industry? Are there other career options for high school graduates? What sort of research have Indonesian students done so far on renewable energy resources? Have any of these ideas been implemented in Indonesia?
