Ambitious global restoration goals have been set as per development agenda which would require close to $36-49 billion in investments each year. Indonesia, whose emissions are led by the Land Use Sector, requires an investment of more than $80 billion needed to rehabilitate forests alone. 2015 witnessed massive forest fires resulting in emissions spiking as much as daily emissions from the entire European Union for 26 days that put communities and critical biodiversity under threat. Indonesia is currently falling short for investments needed to scale peat restoration activities. Mobilizing additional finance and utilizing current investments to scale would help protect the livelihoods of forest dependent communities, allow sustainable production of commodities to fulfill competing land use demands and build resilience at the landscape level by preventing loss and damage worth over $16.1 billion.
