Abstract
The forestry sector plays an important role in mitigating and adapting to climate change. In the NDC Indonesia Report (2021), forestry and other land use (FOLU) sectors contribute emission based on BAU projected 2030 of 714 Mt CO2e and emission reduction for both unconditional (Counter Measure, CM1) of 17.2% and conditional (CM2) of 24.5%. FOLU emissions correlated with changes in the primary forest to secondary (degradation) and primary/secondary forest to other uses for agriculture, transmigration, plantations and others (deforestation). Due to climate change, the conditions of degradation and deforestation can bring disaster, especially triggered by hydrometeorological hazards that have catastrophic impacts such as floods, flash floods, droughts, erosion, and abrasion due to changes in land cover. Therefore, low carbon development strategies from the forestry sector are needed to reduce climate-related disasters in West Papua.
