Climate change
issues has undergone a transformation of global issues into the national
strategic issues, and move on to the issue of the regional level. All areas are
already feeling the impact of climate change, the rise in temperature and
drought. If this condition is not overcomed along with the concept of
sustainable development in Indonesia can be certained to fail.
Failed because
sustainability indicators not achieved, such as the increasing number,
frequency and widespread disaster in Indonesia (Sudibyakto, 2014). To reduce
the impact of climate change, the Directorate General of Climate Change
Control, Ministry of Forestry of Indonesia together the Association of Experts
on Climate Change and Forestry (APIK) Indonesia seeks to synergize the role of
academics, environmental practitioners, and local governments in a real work
plan.
APIK-Indonesia
is a forum set up in 2014 to establish communication and synergy between
academics, researchers and practitioners climate change and the environment in
Indonesia. The role of APIK Indonesia is thinker and actor that can synergize
with all stakeholders in boosting the mitigation efforts, as well as
information liaison to the research results and the availability of expertise
associated with climate change and forest management (Masripatin, 2014).
At the local
level such as Java which has problems of population explosion and the decrease
in support of the environment, being very vulnerable to the impacts of climate
change. This realization led to the mitigation of climate change is an
important thing to be mainstreamed in the development plan (Karuniasa, 2014).
The number of environmental issues that affect their social, economic and
ecological provide opportunities for APIK to do more to create a breakthrough
in contributing to the solution options.
Role
of Community Forests
Population
density and dynamics of economic growth has eroded the natural resources on the
island of Java up to the current conditions, led to the development of the
threat to life and sustainable development. One effective way to maintain the
carrying capacity of the natural environment in the midst of the insistence of
population and climate change is to take benefit of the large number of
population to do something to repair and improve environmental quality.
It is believed
that small-scale activities carried out by a large number of community can give
positive impact more powerful than high-tech big projects which bring the risk
of economic-social-political and
environments. Community-based activities can also have bring a direct
impact on improving welfare.
Delay Cutting
Very interesting
when NGOs Arupa did in study of climate change on society Terong village, Dlingo
subdistrict, Bantul regency, Yogyakarta Province that they have the culture to
harvest and sell trees were not yet ready to harvest, because it demands urgent
needs. The impact of "Tebang Butuh' (Cutting/Harvesting Needed) these are
the decline in value of the timber, the threat of forest conservation, and
climate change in the long term.
Therefore, the village
formed a cooperative 'Tunda Tebang' (Delay Cutting) to address these problems
(Arupa, 2014). The name of cooperative is KTT Jasema. Members can borrow with a
maximum loan of IDR 5 million. Uniquely, members can ensure a tree as
collateral for loans. Trees that can be used as collateral is a tree with a
circumference of 60 cm and some types of trees found at the rules of KTT Jasema
(Arupa, 2014).
Expected climate change
mitigation community - based models of micro-finance or cooperative institutions 'Delay
Cutting' can be widespread, so it can play an active role in reducing the
impact of climate change
