WHAT TO EXPECT
9.6 billion people in 2050
Changing consumption patterns
Continued economic growth
Expectations of justice and equity
Migrations to seek new opportunities
Increased climate variability
Only 30-40 years from now, the world
will not look as it does today.

EMBRACE COMPLEXITY AND DIVERSITY
“We look for silver bullets and simple solutions because we have
convinced ourselves that if it cannot be measured, it does not
matter. And in turn, we miss potential breakthroughs.” 1
Simple and complicated Complex, like reality
1) Darren Walker, Ford Foundation, May 2014
http://www.ssireview.org/up_for_debate/strategic_philanthropy/darren_walker
Solutions can be:
e.g. Landscape approache.g. Natural resources accounting
Mapping the science

DEVELOPMENT OF THE “LANDSCAPE APPROACH”
1980s 1990s 2000s 2010 - present
1980s: Integrated Rural Development
1998: Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM)
1985 onwards: Integrated Conservation & Development projects (ICDPs)
Contributing Sciences:Ecosystem ManagementLandscape EcologyIsland biogeography
Conservation rooted frameworks e.g. “Ecosystem Approach”
1992: “Landscape Approach” first documented (Barrett 1992)
Last decade: (Integrated) Landscape Approach frameworks
WHY LANDSCAPE AS A FRAMEWORK?

12
Fragmentation of sectors and political
processes hinder us.
Landscapes approach creates synergies and
manages trade-offs.
People on the ground are in charge.
Private finance is essential to the solutions.

Landscapes are essential for future we want.

KPH?
It is the ambitions, aspirations, drive, innovation,
care and investments of local people that will
decide if we move towards sustainable landscapes
– or not.

Making it work, eventually
WE NEED A COMMON LANGUAGE FOR LANDSCAPES
Multiple objectives, measures,
performance
Easy to understand
Apply to any scale
Apply to any location
Apply to (any) political process
Measurable at low cost
Sustainability can mean
improvement over time

FIRE, SMOKE AND HAZE – Landscape
Solutions?
10/21/2015

FIRE AND HAZE
2013: One week of fires produced carbon emissions equal to 5-10% of
Indonesia’s mean annual emissions for 2000 – 2005
In 2015:
Costs of over US $ 34 billion to Indonesia
28 million people affected (health and livelihoods)
25,000 fire and security personnel deployed to suppress fires

HAZE RESEARCH
• CIFOR Scientists visited Central Kalimatan last week for training exercise for local partners.
• Over 600,000 hectares of land have already burned in Central Kal.1.7 millon ha in total
• >CIFOR estimates 2 Million hectares are currently burning
• 9.7-11.7 Million ha burned in 1997
• Indonesia’s Meteorological Bureau (BMKG) recorded record air pollution levels of 2000 micrograms per cubic meter (less than 30 is healthy air)
• 200 micrograms per cubic meter in Singapore for three days
SOME CURRENT IMPACTS
Health issues
how many sick?
Business constraints
how much income foregone in various sectors?
Food security
reduced production and increased risks in food systems
Climate change
huge emissions as a result of agriculture practices
International relations
strained by transboundary effects of haze, as well as investment
channels from other countries leading to haze
10/21/2015

REQUIRED OUTCOMES
Direct
Drastically reduced
Conversion of forests into agriculture
Use of fire in agriculture
Cultivation on peatland
Improved
Opportunities for sustainable rural livelihoods and income
Indirect
Improved health
Reduced losses for businesses across many sectors
Reduced risks in food production
Improved markets and value chains for sustainable products
Reduced emissions of greenhouse gases
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
Public investments (fiscal policies to address needs of rural people -
schooling, healthcare, job creation, incentives for non-fire agriculture),
Engagement by banks and financial institutions to curb inappropriate
investments (Indonesia and abroad) by conditioning financial services,
Deeper engagement with corporations active in large-scale land use,
Easing bureaucracy and raising accountability of public institutions and
government,
Reforms of land use policies and spatial planning to reduce commercial use
of peatlands,
Targeted public awareness campaigns (education, TV, media, social
networks), to promote sustainable development perspectives, promotion of
alternative technologies/investments in agriculture, reforms of enforcement
practices
