Expose: carbon trading roadmap for social forestry

The forestry sector is considered central to achieving national climate targets (e.g. FOLU Net Sink 2030 and NDC2.0) through the implementation of sustainable forest management and of carbon pricing that based on the principles of justice. The new Presidential Regulation No 110 of 2025 and the new Minister for Forestry Regulation No.06 of 2026 acknowledge several carbon pricing schemes including voluntary carbon market/carbon trading, cap and trade, result-based payment, carbon tax and other instruments. 

To operationalise this regulation, a sectoral roadmap is mandated, including for the Ministry of Forestry. This roadmap is based on the consolidated efforts among three key sectors, including natural resource and ecosystem conservation, social forestry and sustainable forest management. To align with the mandate, Directorate General of Social Forestry in collaboration with Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) through the UN-REDD Programme, has initiated the development of a carbon trading roadmap for social forestry. 

Internal discussions and review have been done to improve the draft roadmap. As a next step, a public consultation on carbon trading roadmap will be organized to gather input from various stakeholder. The consultation will involve Echelon I officials from relevant directorate who are key stakeholders in the development of the main forestry sector roadmap as well
