Abstract

This study examines the cooperation between Indonesia and Norway in reducing carbon emissions through the implementation of the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) scheme during the period 2016–2025. This research aims to analyze how the Indonesia–Norway REDD+ partnership operates and contributes to emission reduction efforts in the forestry sector. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, using document analysis of official reports, policy documents, and secondary literature related to REDD+ implementation. The analysis is framed by Green Theory and international cooperation theory to understand environmental diplomacy and shared responsibility between developed and developing countries. The findings indicate that the result-based contribution (RBC) mechanism plays a crucial role in strengthening forest governance, enhancing transparency through the Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system, and encouraging policy consistency in reducing deforestation. The study concludes that the Indonesia–Norway REDD+ cooperation represents an effective model of environmental diplomacy that aligns climate mitigation objectives with sustainable development goals.
