3. CONTEXT & PROCEEDINGS
• The importance of inclusive governance by promoting the agenda of
sustainability, inclusiveness and justice to resolve the issues of tenurial
conflicts, overlapping tenure and management rights, incoherence of national
and sub-national governance, environmental damage, transparency and
public access to information, systemic violent practices, etc.
• One Map Policy as an instrument in resolving various overlapping land use
and management rights ideally should be capable to facilitate various
disputes and not the other way around.
• The growing concerns to encourage public participation: Climate Interactive
(C-ROADS, EN-ROADS, FLOWER), Climate Reality Leader, trace for supply
chain of commodity tracing.
• Our presentations are intended to promote crowd based approaches,
especially for environmental, natural resources, and climate change
applications by combining artificial intelligence technology (AI) and
Collective Intelligence (CI) technologies.

4. INITIATIVE APPROACHES: DATA DEMOCRATIZATION, INCLUSIVITY & COLLECTIVE ACTION
• Plenty of data and information from national and credible
sources and communities is widely available and accessible,
including: Global Forest Watch, globalforestwatch.org, Trase,
insights.trase.earth, Google Earth Engine, crowd-based
marketplace, eofactory.ai, Satellite devoted high resolution to
natural resources and environmental monitoring (Norway, Japan)
• The importance of keeping the platform open for transparency
and accountability is not only limited to government institutions
but also for the involvement of various non-state actors.
• Proof of Concept is currently training for inclusive policy
scenarios (En-ROADS) and Data Democratization (EOfactory)

5. EVIDENCE VS RHETORIC BASED
NARRATIVES: DEFORESTATION
•Conflict often starts with a problem of definition and methodology
used that gives rise to different diagnoses and conclusions on the
crafting public policies, including driving force, including pressure,
status, impact, response (DPSIR) analysis.
•Deforestation rates and their trajectories can be differ as shown in
Indonesia Forest Status Report, Forest Watch Indonesia and various
other sources.
•Since 1990, the deforestation rate in forest and non-forest areas
ranged from 3 millions to 0.45 million Ha per period measured per
period.
•The results of the Forest Watch Indonesia (FWI) analysis from 2000
to 2017 have shown that the rate of deforestation is still high. In the
2000-2009 period, Indonesia lost 1.4 million ha / year of natural
forest. In the next period (2009-2013), the area of natural forest
lost decreased to 1.1 millions ha/year and again increased in the
2013-2017 period to 1.4 millions ha/year.

7. CIVIC ENGAGEMENT: THE PLATFORM (2)
• Numerous data and information from credible national and
sources and communities are available and can be accessed
widely, including:
• Global Forest Watch, globalforestwatch.org
• Trase, insights.trase.earth
• Google Earth Engine
• Crowd-based marketplace, eofactory.ai
• High resolution satellites devoted to natural resource and environmental
monitoring (Norway, Japan)
• The importance to keep the platform opened for the sake of
transparency and accountability that is not only limited
government institutions but also for various non-state actors
engagement in inventory, monitoring of various public assets
and spaces, including ecosystem services.

8. PROPOSED PROOF OF CONCEPT OF #EOFACTORY APPLICATIONS
•Integrated Watershed Management: NDVI, Land
Use, Land Cover and Forestry Change (LULUCF),
carbon sequestration, disaster risk reduction (DRR),
spatial dynamics, ecosystem services assessment
•Forest related Issues: deforestation, forest fires,
biodiversity, carbon calculation, REDD+
•Coastal and Urban Environment: coastal erosion
monitoring, Land Use and Land Cover Change,
urban heat/cooling monitoring (surface
temperature monitoring), ecosystem services
assessment, city and community resilience

“Acknowledging that climate change is a common concern of
humankind, Parties should, when taking action to address climate change,
respect, promote and consider their respective obligations on human rights, the
right to health, the rights of indigenous peoples, local communities,
migrants, children, persons with disabilities and people in vulnerable
situations and the right to development, as well as gender equality,
empowerment of women and intergenerational equity”.
