Abstract

One of the ways to reduce CO₂ emissions in Pelalawan District is potentially by Indigenous-based Forest management (IBFM) focusing on ecosystem services. This study aims to develop a roadmap of sustainable forest management to support the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs), especially the 13th Goal: mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The research was conducted in Langgam Village, Pelalawan District, Riau Province, Indonesia. The research method used was qualitative descriptive interpretative. The relevant secondary data were collected from various sources. The results showed that the indigenous peoples in Langgam Village had maintained the natural forest both inside and outside the forest area. However, the current forest management has not been optimally supported by the stakeholders to be registered as a carbon offset project. The strategy to achieve CO₂ emissions reduction is by facilitating indigenous people to improve the dimensions of current forest management into a conservation business movement with ecosystem services products to support low carbon development that is integrated with regional development plans and in line with global carbon market standards. The study results are recommended as one input for policymakers to achieve the SDGs, especially on climate change mitigation and adaptation through community-based forest management.
