Studying the right strategy for implementing mitigation measures to reduce GHG emissions in an effort to control climate change caused by deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) in Papua Province is a crucial step that must be taken. In 2010, emission levels in Papua Province were dominated by the forestry sub-sector and other land use, amounting to 639,818,463 tons of CO2eq, which accounted for approximately 99.8% of the total GHG emissions of 640,737,952.64 tons of CO2eq. To analyze the implementation strategy of REDD+ mitigation, the calculation of carbon emission levels must first be conducted. Carbon emission calculations for this sub-sector follow the methodology developed by the IPCC GL-2006. Meanwhile, for the forestry and other land use sub-sectors, both historical and forward-looking approaches were used. The carbon emissions level from the forestry sub-sector was estimated at 921,779,031.23 tons of CO2eq using the historical method and 1,052,683,205.46 tons of CO2eq using the forward-looking method for the mitigation program at the end of 2020. The mitigation strategy focused on carbon uptake and carbon storage stabilization. The mitigation scenario for the forestry sub-sector was capable of reducing emissions by 552,303,873 tons of CO2eq, equivalent to 52.47% of the total cumulative emissions at the end of 2020, based on the forward-looking method.
