1. How much of Indonesia’s 2000-2010 emissions from deforestation occurred within oil palm concessions (kebun) and timber concessions (HTI)?
2. How much did the designation of a concession between 2000-2010
increase the annual deforestation rate at a particular site, relative to if that site hadn’t been designated a concession?
3. How much would Indonesia’s moratorium on new concessions have reduced emissions if applied from 2000-2010? 4. What carbon price would have achieved an equivalent reduction?

19% in oil palm concessions; 26% in timber concessions 2. How much did the designation of a concession between 2000-2010
increase the annual deforestation rate at a particular site, relative to if that site hadn’t been designated a concession?
on average, oil palm concessions increased deforestation by 60%, and timber concessions increased deforestation by 110%, controlling for year- and site- specific effects 3.

A moratorium on new oil palm concessions and timber concessions in high-carbon forests (>150 tC/ha) and peat lands would have had a substantial impact on reducing emissions from deforestation:
578 MtCO2e/10yrs (8.3%) Modest carbon gains could have been achieved by
expanding the scope of the moratorium to include secondary forests and new logging concessions
For Indonesia to achieve its 26-41% emission reduction
target, it would have had to expand the scope of the moratorium to address conversion within existing concessions or non-concession areas, or have put price-based instruments in place

Emission reductions (tCO2e/yr) •Developing countries reduce 15% of global GHG emissions from deforestation, etc •Co-benefits: biodiversity, clean water…
•UNFCCC sets basic rules •Timeline: agreement by 2015; implementation by 2020 •Forest countries decide how to achieve reductions •Price-based mechanisms or place-based policies
