1. Develop an understanding of the landscape of the palm oil industry in relation to climate change issues, through:
· Desk review to stock-take policy instruments that incentivize or impede investments in decarbonization that can be addressed by policy accelerator, identify challenges and areas of opportunity, key stakeholders. This will provide a bird's-eye view of the policy in the country in the form of a systematically cataloged inventory of policy instruments and an explanation of their relevance to decarbonization.
· Consult with key stakeholders to confirm the initial findings with key policymakers and identify the potential policymakers to be included in the cohort. Aside from government officials, consultation needs may also include palm-oil projects, investors/funders, and other key stakeholders to share the inventory and obtain feedback on whether there are policy instruments that are missing, as well as insights on which instruments have the greatest potential, how they function in practice and ways in which they can be improved.
2. Deploy Policy Accelerator workshop, including a series of mini workshops to discuss the design of incentive policies; socioeconomic and ecological considerations; monitoring and evaluation; amongst others. A series of modules need to be developed and presented in a dynamic and interactive way and serve as a foundation that the cohort can draw upon for knowledge and inspiration as they identify priority policy bottlenecks within their context. The main objective is for the policymakers to work hand-in-hand with the mentors through a methodology that allows them to narrow the scope of their bottlenecks, identify targeted areas of opportunity, and cocreate a roadmap of innovative solutions
