Forestry in the CDM
This research is aimed at understanding the local aspects of the implementation of the clean development mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol in the forestry sector. The research is carried out in collaboration with local researchers in areas most potential to become the sites of forestry CDM projects.

Three case studies were undertaken in Jambi, Central Kalimantan, and Central Sulawesi.

This research project was partially funded by the Government of Finland. A follow up to this research project is currently being planned.

Indonesia Energy Efficiency Outreach - Promoting and Encouraging Energy Efficiency in Jakarta Non Star Hotel
Today, energy efficiency campaign gains its momentum. It is due to the new government policy to gradually increase energy prices according to their economic cost. Energy subsidy was a major obstacle to promote any energy efficiency programs in the past. After more than a decade of the implementation of RIKEN (The National Energy Conservation Plan), the people’s awareness to conserve energy is still far below expectation. Thus, energy subsidy needs to be eliminated. In reality, energy subsidy is considered as an unfair government policy since it mostly benefits the rich and marginalizes the poor.

CURB-AIR: CDM and Urban Air Pollution
Air pollution is a severe environmental problem in Asian cities. Due respiratory diseases caused by urban smog, more than 3000 healthy life years are lost per million city dwellers. The main sources across countries are in general increased traffic and industrial activity. On the other hand, each region has its own specific characteristics regarding energy use and economic development and therefore policies combating air pollution must be tailored to the local situation to be successful.
