PNPM program, which could be potentially augmented and refined to distribute these funds.<br />

Funds could initially be allocated at the community level, but potentially gradually evolve to be<br />

allocated to individuals, similar to Brazil’s Juma <strong>Sustainable</strong> <strong>Development</strong> Reserve.<br />

IMPLEMENTATION<br />

This analysis represents just the first step to achieving environmentally sustainable development.<br />

We see momentum developing through three phases.<br />

Phase 1 - Define the <strong>Environmentally</strong> <strong>Sustainable</strong> <strong>Development</strong> <strong>Strategy</strong>: The first step is<br />

to develop an environmentally sustainable development strategy (as summarized in this report)<br />

that identifies the major opportunities for abatement and new sector growth, the critical actions<br />

required for success, and an estimate of the associated costs. This strategy then will be circulated<br />

to experts, community representatives, and other interested parties in all districts as part of an<br />

extensive process of integration, socialization and refinement to reconcile the priorities emerging<br />

from high-level analysis with the priorities that our communities feel on the ground.<br />

Phase 2 - Develop basic readiness structures: The next phase requires the development of the<br />

basic architecture needed to attract international financing and support sustainable development.<br />

This includes finalizing the organizational design of the “green” delivery unit (including establishing<br />

reporting and decision-making processes), working with district pilots to prepare initiatives, and<br />

begin to build critical enablers such as enhanced spatial planning and MRV baselines.<br />

Phase 3 - Pilot environmentally sustainable development initiatives: This phase will launch<br />

an initial pilot program to support an approach to sustainable growth that focuses on the prioritized<br />

opportunities for abatement and new growth sectors. Following the pilot and a review of the<br />

lessons learned, it is envisaged that there would be a progressive rollout to other districts, with the<br />

eventual transition to a province-wide approach.<br />

Our analysis tells us that we can achieve growth and cut our carbon emissions. Our experience<br />

warns us that this is difficult, but also gives us faith that much can be achieved, as we look at our<br />

province’s record of development over the last decades.<br />

DRAFT<br />

<strong>East</strong> <strong>Kalimantan</strong> is a highly diverse society, as befits the richness and variety of our natural<br />

environment, from our forests and mountains to our seashores along the trading routes of<br />

Southeast Asia. To develop, we must unleash the drive and creativity of all members of our society.<br />

<strong>Environmentally</strong> sustainable development means that this creativity and drive will be built on a<br />

foundation of respect for our god-given natural heritage.
