International Strategy Meeting “Climate change, trend on forest management and land grabbing” Mataram, Lombok Island April 15th – 16th, 2015

Background Climate crisis --- trend on forest management  land grabbing/green grabbing • International policy and scheme to address climate crisis have failed --- (COP) • Trend on forest management driven by international policy related to the scheme in climate mitigation (REDD+, Conservation, Restoration, etc.,). It just gives more benefit for corporations because policies were driven to support/protect the interest of corporations and Annex 1 countries (can’t stop the monopoly and expansion of extractive industries) • The position of the people became weak day by day because policies at national and local level have designed to support the insrest of extractve industries (monopoly and epxansion on land and forest) and the scheme on forest mangement which covered the issues on climate crisis. Community faced land grabbing conflict, limited access (rights) to forest and land, violence, criminalization, intimidation, and displaced. In terms of international climate negotiations, demands of community weren’t became main consideration (ignored).
