international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide
operations on behalf of the German

The Forests and Climate Change Program (FORCLIME)
supports the Government of Indonesia in their endeavor to mitigate the effects
of climate change through forestry sector reform, capacity development and
implementation of best management practices for sustainable forest management
and biodiversity conservation. Demonstration activities are being supported in
selected districts of Kalimantan to Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and
Degradation (“REDD” activities). FORCLIME is funded by the German Federal
Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ

Indonesia’s poor rural communities. To achieve this goal, the Programme team
assists the Indonesian  Government  in  designing 
and  implementing  legal, policy  and  institutional 
reforms  for  the conservation  and sustainable management of
forests, at local, provincial and national level. Support to REDD demonstration
