Towards SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting in Indonesia:
Current Works, Main Challenges, and National Plans
44th Session of the United Nations Statistical Commission

2. 1. INTRODUCTION
The Indonesian government has been implementing sustainable development principles of the green economy stated as Pro- Growth, Pro-Job, Pro-Poor, and Pro-Environment.
Pro-Environment: Indonesia has been part of REDD (Reducing Emission from Deforestation and Forest Degradation).
REDD is a scheme which allows developed countries to give compensation for forest sequestration of the developing countries.
Indonesia has a commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emission, which cause climate changes, to 26 % in 2020, and 41 percent with international assistance.

8. Summary of Findings
Government must be aware about the increase of forest conversion and depletion, and also the decrease of additional growth of forest outside of Java.
Over exploitation of timber wood especially outside of Java is reflected in the decrease of end of year inventory of timber wood.
Rate of depletion for some of mineral resources is exceeding the rate of deposit discovery, so the end of year deposit resources is significantly diminished (such as crude oil, natural gas, gold, and nickel ore).
Warning about over exploitation of crude oil, bauxite and tin because the ratio of end of year deposit resource to production is pretty low.
Net Domestic Product and net accumulated capital become different from the conventional National Account aggregates due to the decrease of produced assets and also the decrease of non-produced (environmental) assets.

9. 3. MAIN CHALLENGES Data availability Insufficient knowledge
Unstandarized of measurement and concept
Data scatters in various institutions  Coordination needs to be enhanced
Insufficient knowledge
Knowledge gap among staff
Need technical assistance in improving existing environmental account & toward the development of ecosystem account
Institutional Challenges
Need to strengthen capability of statistical institution
Need to create more awareness among stakeholders on the important of facts-based decision making pertaining to environment related issues and its impacts
Need statistical advocacy to recognize the importance of doing data analysis and researches on ecosystem accounting
