“Currently, two of our Physics Department students are completing internships at FORCLIME. This is very helpful for the students, who will be able to develop their knowledge, particularly given that during the pandemic, it has been difficult to secure internships. Hopefully, more students will be able to join the internship programme in the future,” explained Noper Tulak, Lecturer at the Department of Geophysics at Cenderawasih University
Since 2019, FORCLIME has run an internship programme for students and fresh graduates that are drawn from universities in Tanah Papua, including Cenderawasih University (Uncen). To date, some 12 Uncen students have participated in the internship programme at FORCLIME, eight of these back in 2019. In an effort to extend this cooperation and to prepare a 2022 work plan, FORCLIME and Cenderawasih University held a meeting on 9 December 2021 in Jayapura, Papua.
During the meeting, which was also attended by the Director of Forestry and Water Resources Conservation for Bappenas, Dr. Nur Hygiawati Rahayu, in conjuction with her visit to Jayapura. The meeting discussed the continuation of the internship program for Uncen students. In addition, Uncen’s contribution to support the implementation of FORCLIME activities in Papua as they relate to Social Forestry, studies on ethnobotany, sago development and local wisdom that can support sustainable forest management in Papua was also discussed.

In an effort to strengthen the role of the West Kalimantan REDD+ Working Group as a medium of communication and coordination between stakeholders within West Kalimantan Province in relation to efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change, the Environment and Forestry Service of West Kalimantan Province held a recent meeting that discussed institutional changes to the REDD+ Working Group. The meeting was facilitated by FORCLIME and was held on 9 December 2021 at the Secretariat of the West Kalimantan REDD+ Working Group. The meeting was opened by the Head of the Environmental Management and Monitoring Division of the Environment and Forestry Service of West Kalimantan, Ms. Yenny S.Hut, MT and was attended by members of the REDD+ working group that comprised representatives drawn from government and non-government organizations.

In 2021, the West Kalimantan REDD+ Working Group managed to improve the quality of its monitoring and reporting system on emissions reduction-related activities in West Kalimantan through the Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) website, which is also used to publish the working results of the Pokja. These reporting results will later be submitted to the National Registry System (SRN) owned and operated by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF). In order to streamline the reporting flow, the West Kalimantan REDD+ Working Group is planning to integrate the West Kalimantan MRV website into the SRN in the near future.
With the support of FORCLIME, a preparatory website integration meeting was held on 8 December 2021 at the Secretariat of the West Kalimantan REDD+ Working Group. The meeting was opened by the Head of the Environmental Management and Monitoring Division of the West Kalimantan Environment and Forestry Service, Ms. Yenny S.Hut, MT, who is also a member of the REDD+ Working Group for West Kalimantan Province.
This meeting resulted in the improvement of several menus on the website, including the granting of access to stakeholders in West Kalimantan so that they will be able to fill out self-reports that address mitigation and adaptation activity.
A follow-up discussion will be held with the Directorate of Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Monitoring, Reporting and Verification, the Directorate-General for Climate Change Control, MoEF in order to develop a strategy for integrating provincial MRV websites into the national website.
