Sumatra forest deal in doubt after concerns over funding
The
future of a much-vaunted $30 million Australian project to protect Indonesian forests
for their carbon is in doubt after an independent review found it is not the
best use of the money.
The
project on the island of Sumatra was announced by Labor in early 2010 to international fanfare, but so far there has been little
detail about the project's design.
It is understood there has been no
actual on-ground work in Sumatra and officials to date have done research only.
It
is the second Australian-Indonesian carbon project to face setbacks. The Herald
reported in March that a $47 million project to restore peatland in Kalimantan,
launched in 2007, had quietly been scaled back and was suffering major delays.
Indonesia is recognised as the
world's fifth-largest producer of greenhouse gases, with 60 per cent of its
emissions coming from rapid deforestation and associated activities.
The
review of Australia's Indonesian carbon programs, costing $100 million overall,
found the Sumatran project ''may not be the most effective utilisation of
available funding and that the changing policy context provides an opportunity
for reconsideration of the proposal''.
A
spokesman for the Climate Change Minister, Greg Combet, said Australia was
discussing with the Indonesian government alternative approaches to work in
Sumatra.
''Work
has not started on the ground because we have not yet agreed on the revised
scope of work,'' the spokesman said.
The
Sumatra project is a pilot for a proposed global system, known as Reducing
Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, in which developing
nations could earn money from carbon credits created from forest preservation
projects by selling them to rich countries for use in meeting their emission
reduction targets.
The
independent review was handed to the government early last year, but was only
made public by the Australian overseas aid agency AusAID in recent weeks.
It calls for the ''reconsideration''
of the Sumatra pilot in light of the challenges and delays in the Kalimantan
project and the emergence of other Indonesian forest schemes, including a $1
billion investment by Norway.
