Developing a legal framework for Indonesia's participation in an internationally sanctioned scheme for reducing emissions from deforestation (and degradation)

全球气候变化预计将对澳大利亚造成严重后果。需要开展创新研究，为包括印度尼西亚在内的发展中国家减少毁林和森林退化所致排放量（RED（D））计划提供一个法律的框架。由于澳大利亚可能是世界上第一个承认RED（D）“抵消信用”的国家，根据其拟议的排放交易计划，该项目将于2010-2011年开始，澳大利亚将受益。该项目还将支持澳大利亚政府的全球森林倡议，包括与印度尼西亚的加里曼丹森林和气候伙伴关系。它将把澳大利亚和印度尼西亚的法律的学者放在法律的研究这一创新领域的最前沿。

Global climate change is projected to have serious consequences for Australia. Innovative research to provide a legal framework for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (RED(D)) schemes in developing countries, including Indonesia, is needed. As Australia is likely to be the first country in the world to recognise 'offset credits' from RED(D), under its proposed emissions trading scheme commencing in 2010-2011, the project will benefit Australia. The project will also support the Australian government's Global Initiative on Forests, including the Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership with Indonesia. It will place Australian and Indonesian legal academics at the forefront of this innovative area of legal research.
