The HoB initiative’s goal is to preserve
and maintain the sustainability of
one of Borneo’s best remaining rain
forests, for the welfare of present and
future generations. In Indonesian the
Heart of Borneo was transferable in to
JANTUNG KALIMANTAN.
Starting March 2008, upon the

No 17 of 2007 about Long-Term
National Development Plan. The
National Medium Term Development
Plan (RPJMN) valid for 2014-2019,
state the forestry sector became
one of development priorities
and has established its vision “ A
lead to improve people welfare,
through productive and competitive
sustainable forest management”1.
The Heart of Borneo natural capital is
a high value, not only for national but
also global economic development.
Shifting to a green economy that
values and invests in natural capital
would help to sharply reduce many
of these negative trends, while
supporting climate change mitigation
and adaptation2.
The role of the economic sector
is becoming more important and
green economy should be the
strategy for the development of
the forestry sector. Recognizing
the high value of natural resources
of the HoB it is important to
incorporate environmental factors
into the economic system to
ensure the continuity of the
functions of the environment and or
natural resources.

 GREEN ECONOMY IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
THEME BUSINESS AS USUAL (BAU)
Spatial Planning Limited enforcement or reconciliation
of land use plans leads to deforestation degraded land, expanding community forests and implementation of
and forest degradation
Protected Areas Poorly managed protected areas
lead to loss of biodiversity and
fragmentation of natural habitats
Forestry Widespread conventional logging and
plantation within High Conservation
Value Forest (HCVF)
Areas with inactive forestry concessions Concession management is improved. Inactive forestry land is
result in degradation due to lack of
management
Palm oil Oil palm expansion is permitted in
Plantation natural forest areas and HCVF
No improvement in oil plantation
management
Mining Mining causes forest degradation
within concessions and air and water
pollution
Agriculture No improvement in agricultural
practices, increasing reliance
on chemical fertilizers, use of
monocultures results in greater
vulnerability to pests and diseases
Energy Energy consumption grows, reducing
exports and increasing the cost of
energy use
Power is mostly generated from coal
and other fossil fuels, limiting exports
and generating GHG emissions

GREEN ECONOMY (GE)
Coherent land use plans including the creation of a category for
watershed protection
Effective protection of natural habitats with improved connectivity
among protected areas
Reduced impact logging, international certification of sustainable forest
management, plantations limited to highly degraded or deforested areas
that are not HCVF.
protected to reduce degradation. Forest restoration concessions are
implemented within natural forest areas following logging
Oil palm plantations do not expand in any area of natural forest. Land
swaps for permits granted within natural forest, to ensure expansion
on degraded land only.
Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) ensures that management
practices are improved, including improved fertilizer and pesticide
application management
Mining follows international good practice guidelines, with improved
waste management treatment reducing impacts on air and water quality
Sustainable agriculture practices maintain and restore soil quality,
use of chemical fertilizers is reduced, larger biodiversity gene bank
provides wild varieties that may be hybridized to ensure greater
resilience to pest and diseases
Increased energy efficiency reduces domestic consumption (especially
of fossil fuels), renewable energy use expands, costs and impacts of
fossil fuel consumption are reduced
Investments in non-hydro renewable energy power plants are
implemented to decentralize power generation and to reduce
consumption of coal for electricity supply and lower GHG emissions
Sustainable biodiversity products from legal community forests (NTFP
and agro-forestry), bioprospecting and biotechnology supports soil
quality, minimizes erosion and sedimentation and secures forest
carbon by reducing pressure to convert forests
New business models build local economies, e.g., using ‘waste
products’ from waste produced by current HoB industries

THE GREEN ECONOMY IMPLEMENTATION
IN HEART OF BORNEO1:
West Kalimantan:
Strengthening Productive Economy Base
Green economy implementation in the field of innovative
creative economy in West Kalimantan is carried out
in synergy with the economic empowerment of local
communities. The government of West Kalimantan
Province in collaboration with the province’s local
district governments has also planned the sustainable
agriculture development.
Central Kalimantan: Sustainable Palm Oil Agro-
Industry
The oil palm plantation industry in Central Kalimantan
is still facing a lot of challenges especially in terms of
environmental sustainability and preservation. The
province needs large amounts of private investment
to develop its palm oil-based agro-industry and
apply the principles of green economy that is more
environmentally friendly.
East Kalimantan: Spatial Plan, One Data One Map
Data base and information is an important aspect
in developing a measurable and comprehensive
development planning. The accurate, centralized and
integrated development database will enhance a
correct, actual, quality and accountable development
policy analysis for the province, districts / cities
and stakeholders. The East Kalimantan Provincial
Government has firmly outlined, to achieve the vision of
development, has to refers to an accurate, up to date,
integrated, complete, accountable “One Data, One Map”
spatial data base.
North Kalimantan:
Environmental Services and Food Granaries
North Kalimantan has also planned the construction
of large-scale food granaries comprising an area of
50,000 hectares known as Delta Kayan Food Estate
(DKFE). there are at least three agricultural companies
that have invested in rice and non-staple food
crops farming.

IMPLEMENTASI EKONOMI HIJAU
DI JANTUNG KALIMANTAN1:
Kalimantan Barat: Memperkuat basis ekonomi produktif
Implementasi ekonomi hijau di bidang ekonomi kreatif
yang inovatif di Kalimantan Barat dilakukan secara sinergis
dengan pemberdayaan ekonomi masyarakat setempat.
Pemerintah Provinsi Kalimantan Barat bekerja sama dengan
pemerintah kabupaten setempat juga telah merencanakan
pengembangan pertanian berkelanjutan.
Kalimantan Tengah: Agroindustri Kelapa Sawit
Berkelanjutan
Industri perkebunan kelapa sawit di Kalimantan Tengah
masih menghadapi banyak tantangan terutama dalam
hal kelestarian lingkungan dan pelestarian. Provinsi ini
membutuhkan investasi swasta dalam jumlah besar untuk
mengembangkan agroindustri berbasis kelapa sawit dan
menerapkan prinsip-prinsip ekonomi hijau yang lebih ramah
lingkungan. 
Kalimantan Timur: Rencana Tata Ruang,
Satu Data Satu Peta
Basis data dan informasi merupakan aspek penting dalam
pengembangan perencanaan pembangunan yang terukur
dan komprehensif. Database pengembangan yang akurat,
terpusat dan terpadu akan meningkatkan analisis kebijakan
pembangunan yang benar, aktual, berkualitas dan akuntabel
untuk provinsi, kabupaten / kota dan pemangku kepentingan.
Pemerintah Provinsi Kalimantan Timur telah secara tegas
menjelaskan, untuk mencapai visi pembangunan, harus
mengacu pada basis data spasial “One Data, One Map” yang
akurat, lengkap, lengkap, akuntabel”. 
Kalimantan Utara: Jasa Lingkungan dan Lumbung Pangan
Implementasi ekonomi hijau melalui pengembangan jasa
lingkungan hutan sangat dimungkinkan di Kaltara, meng-
ingat Taman Nasional Kayan Mentarang (TNKM) terletak
di provinsi ini. Kalimantan Utara juga telah merencanakan
pembangunan lumbung pangan skala besar yang terdiri dari
50.000 hektar yang dikenal dengan nama Delta Kayan Food
Estate (DKFE).
CHALLENGES IN MANAGING

CURRENT GLOBAL SUPPORTS TO THE HOB
As the HoB is a government initiative, the majority
of funding comes from them. Funding is derived
from national budget revenue & expenditure (APBN)
and regional budget revenue & expenditure (APBD).
In the implementation of HoB, related partners
have allocated funding obtained from other parties
(donors, for example) or from government partners1.
Since the HoB initiative was launched the main
financial support came from civil society such as
WWF Indonesia and international agency (ADB and
World Bank) as well as donor countries such as
government of United States, German, Denmark,
the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan,
Singapore and others.
Government and market sources of finance can be
utilized to sustain the Heart of Borneo landscape.
Combined with donor sources, the HoB are in
position to transition towards low-carbon and green
development paths that are based on biodiversity
conservation, forest and watershed protection and
carbon emission reductions 2.
IN LOOKING FOR A SUSTAINABLE
FUNDING FOR THE HEART OF BORNEO
In the implementation of HoB, related
partners have allocated funding obtained from
other parties (donors, for example) or from
government partners.
Currently HoB is developing sustainable financing
schemes which are sourced from the government,
other state donors, Corporate Social Resposibility
or CSR from private or other non-governmental
institutions both nationally and internationally.
In addition, sustainable financing mechanisms,
based on the potential for environmental services
(Payment for Environmental Services, PES), are
being developed. PES is refered to as service water,
carbon, biodiversity, ecotourism and so on.
DUKUNGAN GLOBAL UNTUK JANTUNG KALIMANTAN
Sumber keuangan pemerintah dan swasta dapat
dimanfaatkan untuk menopang pengelolaan Jantung
Kalimantan. Apabila dikolaborasikan dengan
dukungan sumber dari lembaga donor, maka
pengelolaan Jantung Kalimantan akan menuju pada
pembangunan yang rendah karbon dan berbasis
lingkungan yang memperhatikan kelestarian
keanekaragaman hayati, hutan, Daerah Aliran Sungai
serta pengurangan emisi karbon2.
Sejak inisiatif Jantung Kalimantan diluncurkan,
dukungan secara global diperoleh antara lain dari
WWF Indonesia dan lembaga-lembaga donor (ADB
and World Bank) serta dana bantuan dari negara
Amerika, Jerman, Denmark, Belanda, Inggris,
Australia, Jepang, Singapura dan lainnya.
HoB adalah inisiatif Pemerintah, sebagian besar
dana berasal dana-dana Pemerintah. Sumber
dana berasal dari APBN dan APBD. Dalam
pelaksanaan Jantung Kalimantan, mitra terkait telah
mengalokasikan dana yang diperoleh dari pihak lain
(antara lain donor) atau dari mitra pemerintah1 .
KEBERLANJUTAN DUKUNGAN PENDANAAN
UNTUK JANTUNG KALIMANTAN
Pendanaan berkelanjutan (sustainable
financing) perlu dikembangkan untuk menjamin
keberlangsungan kegiatan di Jantung Kalimantan.
Pendanaan berkelanjutan dimaksud adalah
pendanaan dari pemerintah, bantuan negara lain
(donor), swasta (Corporate Social Resposibility, CSR),
atau lembaga non-pemerintah lainnya baik nasional
maupun internasional.
Sumber pendanaan lain yaitu dari imbal jasa
lingkungan (Payment for Environmental Services,
PES). Imbal jasa lingkungan dimaksud seperti jasa
air, karbon, keanekaragaman hayati, ekowisata dan
sebagainya.
