It's just because the workshop hasn't reached lots of people who are supposed to support this program. I think there had been lots of REDD Workshops in Indonesia, well I’ve attended one of them.

Maybe carbon trading's plan A and Carbon tax is plan B? Yeah, there’s a oontradiction there indeed. Maybe carbon trading’s plan A and Carbon tax is plan B?

I agree that REDD is something new for people in grassroots community.... the benefit of REDD for local people hasn't clear too. So..... clearly information is needed, if Government commited to REDD.

But, he never keeps them. It is all about telling people what they want to hear in return for more foreign aid. The crazy thing is foreign governments and the EU keep on sending Indonesia money to protect forests when it is government policy in Indonesia to log the forests and preferably as quickly as possible.

So according to the <a href="http://bit.ly/7foa8Q" rel="nofollow">Sydney Morning Herald</a> there's going to a carbon tax on combustion of fossil fuels. Indonesia will develop geothermal power. And, "Indonesia would rely heavily on selling carbon credits to developed countries to stop deforestation." This proposal comes from a climate change policy paper commissioned by the Indonesian Finance Ministry, apparently independently of the National Council on Climate Change. "Policy incoherence" doesn't seem like such a bad description after all. @Jenny – thanks for this.
