SDG-sensitive international cooperation for tropical peatland restoration: the pursuit of institutional synergies
Tropical peatlands provide diverse ecosystem functions and services. The peatlands, however, have been degraded rapidly by forest fires, anthropogenic drainages, and exploitations. The degradation not only causes environmental costs but also social and economic losses, and their impacts are not limited to domestic. Thus, national efforts and international cooperation for the restoration and sustainable use of the peatlands are in progress. Meanwhile, the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is another important challenge, which requires national and international efforts. This study analyzes potential institutional synergies between tropical peatland restoration and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to provide implication for international cooperation. This study focused on the peatland restoration institution of the government of Indonesia, which possesses 47% of global tropical peatland, to draw out potential synergies with SDGs. Institutional interaction framework was applied to the Indonesian peatland restoration institution and SDGs. Depending on relationship of each institution’s core objectives and co-benefits, the potential institutional synergies were classified into core, complementary and supplementary synergy. Core synergies (SDG 1, 2, 15) and complementary synergies (SDG 7, 8, 13) were identified. Supplementary synergies, which are expected when unforeseen co-benefits interact, were also suggested by reviewing research articles on tropical peatland restoration (SDG 3, 6). SDG- sensitive international cooperation, considering the potential synergies, is required for restoration and sustainable use of the tropical peatland.
