This document, Pulang Pisau: Green Growth Strategy, identifies and outlines green growth interventions across four of Pulang Pisau’s key sectors: forestry, aquaculture, plantations and renewable energy. It explores the sectors that generate the biggest contribution to economic growth as well as greenhouse gas emissions, and maintain the economic equity (or commonly known as inclusive development).
Pulang Pisau’s Green Growth Strategy outlines and explores the opportunity for the district to shift to a new economic growth pathway that delivers prosperity whilst reducing poverty and achieving environmental sustainability. This green growth vision defines the overall goal of this strategy and is aligned with the objectives of the district’s medium-term development plan (RPJMD) for 2013 – 2018. In addition, the strategy provides a rationale for why each sector is important for green growth and then describes the key interventions within each sector that will support sustainable economic development. These interventions and the underlying actions include both new solutions for overcoming the challenges related to operating in the district and also build off the existing efforts of the government, private sector and broader society to achieve sustainable development in Pulang Pisau. In addition, this strategy proposes actions that are aligned with Central Kalimantan’s regional action plan for the reduction of GHG emissions (Rencana Aksi Daerah Penurunan Emisi Gas Rumah Kaca, RAD-GRK) and the regional strategy to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (Strategi Daerah, STRADA REDD+).
