Indonesia Green Economy Model to Simulate Impact to Green Jobs: Central Kalimantan Case Study

Verania Andria, Ph.D Programme Manager - UNDP Indonesia 25th February 2015

Working Definitions and Assumptions

• Green Economy is way to ensure sustainable development that is socially just, provides for economic

growth and maintains environmental quality.

• Indonesia Green Economy Model for Central Kalimantan province (KT-GEM) has been developed by

UNDP/UNEP and local government as development planning and monitoring tool to simultaneously simulate the impact of Green Economy policy interventions to social, economic and environment.

• Indonesia Green Economy Model introduces following indicators:

 Green GDP indicator: measures GDP growth that accounts natural capital destruction and depletion;  GDP of the Poor indicator: measures the proportion of income of poor households derived from ecosystem services in light of their proportionally higher reliance on these services;  Green Jobs indicator: measures job creation in sectors that contribute to reduce negative environmental impact (green sectors).

• Green Job is any decent job that contributes to preserving or restoring the quality of the environment

whether it is in agriculture, industry, services or administration (ILO/UNEP, 2008).

• Modeling cannot fully incorporate decency dimension of Green Jobs. Further assessment and

stakeholder consultation processes need to be conducted to measure the decency dimension.

Adoption KT-GEM Scenario Building Exercise

Business As Usual (BAU) Scenario in Central Kalimantan

BAU: Economy is based on the extraction of natural resources that in long term leads to decrease of natural capital, increase

• f cultivated land and

intensification and lower green jobs.

Green Economy Interventions in Central Kalimantan

GE policy scenario: sustainable agriculture in 1 million Ha, increase agricultural productivity, expand plantation, max 2.5 million Ha forest conversion.

Impact of Green Economy Interventions to Green Jobs

• Increase non-cash income of poor households

those living depending on the forest ecosystem – which working class will be benefitted?

• Increase green job opportunities in sustainable

agriculture – are the jobs decent?

• Shifting green jobs opportunity from agriculture to

forest sector – are the workers’ skill meet the market needs?

Conclusions:

• The Indonesia Green Economy Model could provide information
• n the impact of the Green Economy interventions to the Green

Jobs.

• The simulation could assist development of Green Jobs strategy

in the simulated area.
