“…We collected the percentages of rice, rubber and oil palm in expanding agricultural land via field survey in 2010 in research area. Yamamoto and Takeuchi (2012) collected socioeconomic data via a field survey in 2010 and 2011 by visiting 211 households, including one-time net revenue from logging per hectare, net revenue from rubber plantations per hectare, price of rice and rubber. Net revenue from oil palm plantations per hectare is from the work by Fairhurst and McLaughlin in 2010.…”

Tackling climate action through REDD+ implementation is a viable option to climate action planning. This study aims to develop a marginal abatement cost (MAC) based process that enables decision-makers to estimate economic cost of emissions abatement and understand the role of cost-saving plantations in climate change planning practices. Our research in Kalimantan, Indonesia shows that cost-saving plantations can contribute to 0.05 million ton CO 2 sequestration in research area. Further analysis suggests that cost-effective plantations account for 86% of total carbon emissions. The application of MAC curves for REDD+ in our study provides insights to include the optimization of land utilization in support of leveraging financial resources for the implementation of REDD+ strategies.

Abstract:The REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) mechanism allows carbon sinks to be used as carbon credits in order to offset emissions from other sources. However, this practice has raised a number of issues relating to financial incentives. In this study, we develop a spatially explicit model for predicting carbon emissions from deforestation that meet baseline levels as well as farmers' opportunity costs (measured in US dollars per ton of CO2e) under three temporal scenarios with several potential discount rates for agricultural income. Additionally, we use two different accounting methods recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), including the average storage method and the "ton-year approach," to evaluate emissions reductions. We find that farmers are more likely to prefer REDD in the short-run when discount rates are higher than 10%. However, further analysis indicates that opportunity costs would increase significantly over longer periods of time (middle-term schemes of 35 years or long-term schemes of 55 years), thereby dissuading farmers from choosing REDD. Our findings highlight the drawbacks in using REDD to mitigate global climate change and conserve forests based on farmers' financial incentives.
