This presentation given by K. Obidzinski, H. Komarudin, A. Dermawan and A. Andrianto focuses on the the gap between development targets and ENV sustainability and the way to harmonize DEV and ENV agendas. It also aims to stimulate discussion about the relationship between DEV and Climate Change initiatives in the province. Kalimantan is one of Indonesia’s 6 economic centers. The main economic activities are the extraction of energy and mineral resources, timer and the cultivation of oil palms. But MP3EI (Masterplan Percepatan dan Perluasan Pembangunan Ekonomi Indonesia)-goals, clash with environmental sustainability. Concerns exist especially relating to concessions for oil palm plantations, timber plantations and coal mining, since they would affect several M Ha of forest land. The circumstances call for a “green economy” approach, whose challenges are still to be overcome.

Objectives
•Take stock of development and GHG mitigation objectives
•Stimulate discussion about the relationship between DEV and Climate
Change initiatives in the province
•Ask questions about the gap between development targets and ENV
sustainability
•Is there are a gap? If so, how to bridge? How to harmonize DEV and
ENV agendas?
•Food for thought for Group Discussion

“Green Economy”
•Allows for: economic growth but significantly
reduces environmental risks and ecological
scarcities
•Understands that:
We are reaching limits in our use of the
natural
ENV and SOC costs of our current
economic model must be taken into account
in devising future development solutions
Need for a balance between growth,
income, jobs and equity

Are roads a low carbon choice?

•Efficient water
transport and
railways are
cheaper and
with much lower
emissions
•Low pop
density makes
air transport an
attractive option

“Green development” challenges:
food for though
•Oil palm: is 1 M Ha enough? Extensification or intensification? If Extensifiation, how to
stimulate the use of lahan kritis? How to retain the remaing natural forest? What rules &
incentives? If Intensification, what support measures?
Timber plantations HTI: How much HTI does Kaltim need? 0.5 M ha of HTI = nearly 2 M m3
in MAI and 7 M m3 in production
Intensification: MAI/ha in Brazil 2-3 times higher; how to achieve this in Kaltim/Indonesia? How
to retain the remaing natural forest? Extensifiation, how to stimulate the use of lahan kritis?
Coal Mining: Does Kaltim need 4-5 M ha of mining concessions and 1,500 permits? How to
control this? How to improve reclamation of ex-mining pits (2500); how to advance CCS; how
to add value and minimize the ara exploited (coal liquefaction)
Food Estates: How best can Kaltim Food Estate contribute to the national goal of food
security? How much does it help with self-sufficiency? Are shipping and value chains in place?
How is local food production, incomes, and livelihoods affected?
Infrastructure: Does Kaltim need extensive road network in remote areas with few people?
These involve extremely high costs of development and maintenance; Could water, rail, and
air transport be a viable alternatives? Could existing road plans be modified to minimize ENV
impact?
