This paper addresses the question of legitimacy in REDD+ governance in Indonesia. It develops a legitimacy framework that builds on elements of Scharpf (J Eur Pub Policy 4(1):18–36, 1997) input and output legitimacy concept and the political economy lens described by Brockhaus and Angelsen (Analysing REDD+: Challenges and choices, CIFOR, Bogor, 2012). Using data collected through key informant interviews and focus groups, we identify and explore stakeholder perceptions of legitimacy. The analysis reveals a complex interplay between input and output legitimacy, finding that state, non-state and hybrid actors perceive output legitimacy (i.e. project outcomes) as highly dependent on the level of input legitimacy achieved during the governance process. Non-state actors perceive proxies for input legitimacy, such as participation and inclusion of local people, as goals in themselves. In the main, they perceive inclusion to be integral to the empowerment of local people. They perceive output legitimacy as less important because of the intangibility of REDD+ outcomes at this stage in the process. The findings also highlight the challenges associated with measuring the legitimacy of REDD+ governance in Indonesia.

Die indonesische Regierung spricht gerne über den Klimawandel, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Eindämmung der Entwaldung. Aber hält die Regierung Wort? Leider bleibt die Realität weit hinter der Rhetorik zurück.

The question of how developing countries like Peru can participate effectively in the REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation) policy initiative of the United Nations has been the focus of considerable debate recently. The aim of this study was to detect the main challenges associated with monitoring deforestation and forest degradation and also to analyze the policy challenges associated with implementing REDD in Peru. To participate effectively in this process, it is essential that the Peruvian national government formulates a national response since it is unlikely that provincial agencies managing natural resources will be able to develop the necessary expertise to carry out effective monitoring, reporting and verification, and because the underlying factors driving deforestation will require a large investment and a coordinated response at the country level. ; La cuestión de cómo los países en vías de desarrollo como el Perú pueden participar efectivamente en el marco REDD+ (reducción de emisiones de la deforestación y degradación de bosques) de las Naciones Unidas ha sido el foco de considerables debates recientemente. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue detectar los principales aspectos de monitoreo de degradación forestal y decisiones políticas para enfrentar un proceso REDD en Perú. Para participar de manera efectiva en este proceso, es esencial que el gobierno nacional peruano formule una respuesta nacional ya que es poco probable que las entidades provinciales de manejo de recursos naturales puedan desarrollar la experiencia necesaria para efectuar el monitoreo eficaz y porque los factores subyacentes de la deforestación requieren de una gran inversión y una amplia visión a nivel país. ; Fil: Ladd, Brenton.
