Abstract

Role of National Parks (NPs) as carbon storage has still not been well appreciated in REDD+ concept. This is because the methodology for providing incentives for reducing emissions from land sector still uses an additional approach. However, REDD+ activities have also enhanced carbon stocks and implemented sustainable forest management. Technical efforts to improve carbon stocks in NPs can be carried out in the form of utilizing carbon-based environmental services that consist of three schemes, namely: a) emission reduction scheme, b) forest carbon stock conservation scheme, and c) forest carbon stocks enhancement scheme. This study aims to analyze the budget restructure of NPs to support utilization of carbon-based environmental services in NPs. This study uses qualitative and quantitative approach with content and fiscal analysis. The results indicate that the proportion of budget related to the utilization of forest carbon services is still very small compared to the total NP’s budget (15%) in four National Parks. For this reason, restructuring budget is needed and should be based on the use of carbon-based environmental services. This will further illustrate how resource allocation must be optimized and used as a basis for providing incentives for NPs.
