Pilot Testing of GBEP Sustainability Indicators for Bioenergy in Indonesia

Organisation:
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

This report presents the results of the testing of the Global Bioenergy Partnership (GBEP) indicators in Indonesia. The testing provided Indonesia with an understanding of how to establish the means of a long-term, periodic monitoring of its domestic bioenergy sector based on the GBEP indicators. Such periodic monitoring would enhance the knowledge and understanding of this sector and more generally of the way in which the contribution of the agricultural and energy sectors to national sustainable development could be evaluated.

The Global Bioenergy Partnership has produced a set of twenty-four indicators for the assessment and monitoring of bioenergy sustainability at the national level. The GBEP indicators are intended to inform policymakers about the environmental, social and economic sustainability aspects of the bioenergy sector in their country and guide them towards policies that foster sustainable development.
