Abstract

This study analyzes the roles and positions of stakeholders in decision-making processes within the National Forestry Council (Dewan Kehutanan Nasional, DKN), a forest-related multistakeholder platform in Indonesia. It considers stakeholders’ power, legitimacy, and urgency. The research employed a qualitative case study, centered around in-depth interviews with 27 key informants with diverse backgrounds involved in the DKN. The study found that despite being designed to facilitate democratic and inclusive decision-making, the engagement of stakeholders in the DKN is heavily dominated by powerful government actors. Several stakeholder groups, such as NGOs and academics, may actively participate in decision-making processes, but they do not meaningfully influence and capacity to determine the organizational policy directions. This is related to an imbalance in the distribution of power among stakeholders in DKN. Even though this organization promotes the principle of inclusivity, the reality is that the presence and influence of the government are still the dominant factors in determining policy directions. This study confirms the importance of the stakeholder salience analysis approach in the context of multistakeholder initiative organizations such as the DKN, which allows recognition of power dynamics and domination among stakeholders within the DKN so that decisions made truly reflect the common interests of all parties involved.

Abstract

The traditional conceptions and claims of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have profiled NGOs as civil society representatives and as benevolent philanthropic actors of development in the Global South. However, recent phenomena indicate NGOs often acting in opposition to their benevolent claims. This study attempts to move away from the normative concepts of NGOs and develop an analytical framework fitted with the current empirics in environmental governance. Using theories of organized interest groups in a democratic political system, we analyze the extent of NGOs fulfilling their roles as organized interest groups (OIGs), where they should take roles representing the interests of particular groups within societies and exerting political influence on governments on the basis of these common interests. We use empirics from Indonesian forest and environment-related governance, and our framework is called “Representation–Influence Framework,” which assists in establishing more systematic coherent typologies of OIGs. Analyzed from the perspective that NGOs claim to serve as representatives of specific groups within societies, we establish three overarching categories of OIGs, that is, 1) en route to fulfilling the claim, 2) breaking the claim, and 3) opposing the claim. We further detail our framework into a subset of nine OIG typologies. In this way, we provide pathways to begin deconstructing the common simplifications and misunderstandings about NGOs. For empirics, we identified 38 OIGs in the cases of social forestry and timber legality policies and populated them according to the typologies. We found that most of them are en route to fulfilling the claim of representing the groups’ interests, although their political influence on the government is, in most cases, limited.

Abstract

Eucalyptus urophylla plantation is an important contributor to carbon storage in climate change mitigation, established due to a land rehabilitation program in the semi-arid ecosystem in Timor Island. To ensure an accurate estimate of the above-ground carbon storage of these plantations, it is important to continuously combine ground measurement with remote sensing technology. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the above-ground carbon storage estimation of two very high spatial resolution images, namely Pleiades-1B 2021 and Pléiades Neo 2022 with pixel sizes of 2 x 2 m and 1.2 x 1.2 m, respectively. The normalized difference vegetation index was employed to identify the eucalyptus trees and classify the density into low, moderate, and high. The results showed that Pléiades Neo imagery provided superior eucalyptus tree identification to Pleiades-1B imagery and was more accurate in estimating above-ground carbon storage. However, there is a trade-off between increasing this accuracy and incurring a higher cost to achieve the highest spatial resolution image.

Abstract

The Siak Regency implemented the Green Siak Policy in 2016 to commit to reducing carbon emissions. This research aimed to assess land use and land cover (LULC) changes from 2016 to 2023 and make projections for 2030, quantify carbon stocks by LULC type, and estimate CO₂ emissions associated with the implementation of the Green Siak Policy. This research classified LULC using Landsat imagery. It employed the CA-Markov to project land cover in 2030 using eight driving factors: elevation, temperature, rainfall, population density, distance from roads, burned areas, state forest areas, and evidence likelihood. This research assessed carbon stocks using the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model and calculated CO₂ emissions based on changes in LULC and peat decomposition. The findings revealed a slight reduction in total carbon stock from 1,232.52 MtC in 2016 to 1,232.12 MtC in 2023, with annual CO₂ emissions of 1.4 MtCO₂e. Projections indicated an increase in carbon stock, expected to reach 1,232.27 MtC by 2030, with anticipated annual emissions of 1.398 MtCO₂e from 2023 to 2030. While the Green Siak Policy targeted a decrease in emissions of 23.28 MtCO₂e/year by 2030, the results indicated that the Regency achieved merely 0.03% of its target.
