2. KEPENTINGAN PEMERINTAH NORWEGIA DALAM KERJASAMA PENANGANAN DEFORESTASI DAN DEGRADASI HUTAN DI INDONESIA MELALUI MEKANISME REDD+

Abstract

The deforestations and forest degradations in Indonesia have a global impact as they have
been held responsible in increasing the amount of world carbon emissions. The
government of Indonesia actively participates in many efforts combating the problem, one
of which materialiazed throughthe initiation of bilateral cooperation between Norway and
Indonesia under the scheme of REDD+ (Reducing from Deforestations and Forest
Degradations), where Norway plays role as donor and Indonesia becomes the recipient
country.This particular cooperation could be well explained by utilizing the approach of
Construtivism. Following the constructivists’ stand point, the Norwegian action in giving
donor to Indonesia isseen inseparable from Norway’s identity as a ‘green actor’ who
includes environment as one of the primacies among her foreign policy priorities.
