The Indonesian government has temporarily banned on new forest concessions
as well as all land-clearing operations by palm oil companies which is likely to
reduce pressure on peat lands.
The UN Environment is working with Indonesia as well as other nations with
major peat lands through the Global Peat land Initiative Programme, to develop
options for sustainable peat land management and build the knowledge base.
The UNs Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation
(REDD) and REDD+ programme (Box 4.2) are exploring the means to decrease the
impact of the palm oil industry on peat land using fiscal incentives as well as forests
(UNEP 2018).
4.2 Governing Principle
Seven governing principles (MacArthur 2002) of health planning are given in
Fig. 4.2. On the other hand, the major issues which would affect the environment
and health demanding corrective actions have been listed in Table 4.2 (WHO 1989).
In reality, there is however always a shadow between the aspirations and the
actual. Bengaluru (Formerly Bangalore) city which was planned without slums has
500+ slums as of 2018 accommodating more than 10% of the population which is
still growing. The scenario is not different in most of the developing world which
does not design and accommodate people who migrate to urban areas due to natural
disaster, low income and family negligence. Such economic refugees often make
their way to roadside camp, below flyover and adjacent to railway track. The association and welfare unions of this unauthorized settlement will often lobby to regularize irregularity, which beats the main aim of urban development.
Conventionally, government all over the world provide major portion of their
budget for national security and health. But, the financial support extended to health
Box 4.2 REDD and REDD+
The Collaborative Programme of the UN on REDD in developing nations was
launched in 2008 and builds on the convening role as well as technical expertise of UNDP, FAO and the UNEP (UN-REDD Programme 2019).
The UN-REDD Programme supports nationally led REDD+ processes and
supports the meaningful and informed involvement of all stakeholders, including indigenous peoples as well as other forest-dependent communities in
national as well as international REDD+ implementation (UN-REDD
Programme 2019).
REDD+ is a mitigation solution for climate change being developed by
parties to UNFCCC. The UN-REDD programme assists nations to develop
the capacities required to meet the UNFCC’s REDD+ requirements, so that
they can qualify to get result-based payments under the convention (UN-REDD
Programme Collaborative workspace 2019).
