Tropical Futures Initiative

Collaborative land-use modeling work between IIASA, the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF), the World Wildlife Fund Indonesia, and the Bandung Institute of Technology in Indonesia was further developed in 2015 under the Tropical Futures Initiative (TFI).

In order to integrate stakeholder knowledge and needs into the modeling efforts of the Ecosystems Services and Management (ESM) Program, two modeling and stakeholder workshops were carried out jointly with local partners in Indonesia’s provinces Jambi and East Kalimantan (TFI pilot provinces). The stakeholder workshops were part of the effort to adapt GLOBIOM for Indonesia. Land cover simulation adaptation is the main task required for input data preparation in Indonesia. GLOBIOM Indonesia requires input from key stakeholders to identify an adaptation strategy based on data availability and policy assessment needs. Furthermore, the adaptation requires clear strategies to optimize synergies between GLOBIOM Indonesia and LUMENS – the Indonesian land use model developed by ICRAF—which are both in need of feedback from relevant stakeholders.
