<p>This paper investigates climate policy integration and coherence in the forest and agricultural sectors in Indonesia. It assesses the extent to which climate change policies show coherence between mitigation and adaptation objectives, and external policy coherence between the climate change and non-climate change objectives of land use policies.</p><p>Most of the climate policy integration literature focuses on mainstreaming mitigation or adaptation into sectoral policies. Such approaches, however, tend to ignore possible interactions between climate change adaptation and mitigation, which are particularly important in the land use sector.</p><p>The research concludes that further resources, knowledge, and actions to address climate change adaptation in the agriculture and forestry are needed, before joint approaches can be effectively explored and pursued in the land use sector. It is also crucial that, government agencies working on mitigation and forests (REDD+) recognize and address these interactions in the formulation as well as in the implementation of policies and in the management of REDD+ projects.</p><p>National development policies and practices need to reconcile ambitious development objectives in the land use sector with mitigation targets in forests and agriculture and address more clearly adaptation needs within the two sectors.</p>
