摘要

The Ecosystem Approach (EA) offers a comprehensive framework for managing natural resources, yet its practical implementation faces institutional challenges, primarily in determining priorities and aligning policy goals within the dispersed authority of decentralised governance structures. In Indonesia, this challenge is intensified by a decentralised and evolving institutional landscape. By contextualising the discussion within Indonesia’s FOLU Net Sink policy, this research presents empirical evidence of the translation of conceptual approaches across different layers of government. This study particularly aims to map and understand the degree of intersubjectivity regarding EA implementation. By employing Q methodology, this research captures divergent perspectives from actors across multiple levels of forestry-related government bodies, NGOs, and academia, involving 46 participants. Generally, this study reveals four distinct perspectives: land-result-oriented (LRO), collaborative governance advocates (CGA), community nature alliances (CNA), and practical pragmatists (PP), each highlighting different priorities in implementing EA. It indicates multiscale disconnection as the national government predominantly prioritises technocratic and quantifiable outcomes, whereas subnational and non-state actors emphasise the procedural necessity of social legitimacy (CNA) and collaborative action (CGA). We argue that it indicates a contested policy translation in determining operational priorities. Consequently, addressing Indonesia’s climate challenges requires moving beyond top-down technical solutions, but rather integrating hard metrics of carbon targets with soft infrastructure, ensuring its inclusivity and promoting multi-actors collaboration.
