I hope that the facilities and services provided is not disappointing to the participants of the workshop, so that all of you would like to linger and want to go back again even after the completion of this event. My beloved audience, 4 . Today we are conducting a Workshop which has a very important meaning and strategic means for all of us, including Jambi provincial government, which is being actively doing the development, according to the Jambi Province’s Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMD) 2010-2015. We realize that in order to achieve Jambi with the economy in Secure and Prosperous Fair, Jambi Provincial Government, is facing complex challenges and problems, especially the problem of forest and land use, both in economically and socially .

• 5. Under the implementation of development priorities in related to the utilization of the natural

resources and the environment towards Gold Jambi in 2015, it has shown some progress in

• result. Although we may not been able to satisfy all parties, but I would like to appreciate to all

parties including international partner institutions for their cooperation and commitment, that can

• vercome these challenges, gradually. Hopefully with the fabric of cooperation and partnership

as well as workshops conducted, it can make a positive contribution in addressing Jambi’s developmental issues in related to the management of natural resources and environment in a good and right way.

• 6. We need to realize that Indonesia is a country with the third largest tropical forest; therefore

we have an important and strategic role in stabilizing the climate. From the tropical forests of Indonesia, Jambi Province is one of the potential as it has a complete forest, lowland forest, gently sloping east coast, until the swamp forest.

• Mr. Head of UKP4 and its contingent, together with my beloved audience,
• 7. On this happy occasion, we would also like to thank the National REDD+ Agency whom has

initiated steps in Jambi by doing the Licensing Arrangement, where in the future will be built Licensing Information Management System. I value these efforts as a milestone in the journey of Jambi’s development in maintaining the sustainability of forests from degradation and deforestation.

• 8. We do realize that these activities will make major contribution in the reduction of emissions

in the province of Jambi. This is reasonable given the fact that approximately 43 % of Jambi Province area or 2.2 million acres are forest area and approximately 8.7 % (191 thousand hectares) consists of protected peat forest. Therefore, it is appropriate that Jambi become a serious concern of the international community.

• 9. Within the framework of reducing carbon emissions in the province of Jambi, we continually

made the effort to facilitate a multi-stakeholder meeting to harmonize and synergize various programs related to climate change and green development that exist and will be implemented in the province of Jambi. Such as: REDD+ program, a grant program of the MCA -Indonesia, WWF and Jungle Corridor RAD GRK and related programs, which are funded through the provincial budget and state / city in the province of Jambi. My beloved workshop participants,

• 10. We realize that the issue of climate change is currently a topic often discussed. At the

province level, we have started to feel the fundamental changes of climate change on earth, such as shifting patterns and shifting change of seasons and other natural phenomena.

• 11. Therefore, the existence of various programs related to climate change that is offered

becoming our alternative to tackle the problem of climate change. As one of the area with extensive forest cover, Jambi Province will be a motor , to encourage sustainable forest management and equitable beneficial economic and ecology.

• 12. Currently Jambi provincial government itself has consistently pushed the passage of a low

carbon emissions development. This part of the Jambi Provincial Government's commitment to support the achievement of Indonesia's efforts to reduce emissions launched by Mr. President.

• 13. When we explore programs related to climate change mitigation or reduction in carbon

emissions we identified many programs that have been implemented by the Jambi community, especially those whom are related to the conservation and protection of forests which has not limited support and attention from various parties. For example, indigenous forests in the Province of Jambi, which has its own management rules are in accordance with the goals of climate change mitigation programs. UKP4 Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen, 14 . Before concluding these remarks, I would like to apologize should there be any inconvenience situation in regards to the organization of this workshop. Hence, we are trying to do our best, and I believe with hard work and best preparation of the entire committee, God willing, everything will go well, smooth and successful as we all hope and determination. We won’t forget to pass our gratitude to the entire organizing committee whom has worked hard to support the smooth the event series.
