| dc.description.abstract | Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+)
aims to combat climate change through forest conservation while raising concerns
about its impact on the rights of indigenous peoples in Indonesia. This research
addresses the specific human rights issues faced by indigenous communities due to
REDD+ implementation, such as land tenure conflicts, exclusion from decision-
making, and restricted access to traditional resources. This study uses normative
legal research, the study analyses international frameworks like the UNDRIP and
ILO Convention 169, alongside Indonesia’s national laws, including Constitutional
Court Decision No. 35/PUU-X/2012. Comparative insights from Brazil and
Tanzania highlight governance challenges and the role of community participation
in mitigating adverse effects. The type of the research is normative. The research
uses statutory, historical, conceptual, comparative, and case-study approach on
analysing the findings. Findings indicate that REDD+ often marginalizes
indigenous communities, emphasizing the need for transparent benefit-sharing,
robust land tenure recognition, and adherence to Free, Prior, and Informed Consent
(FPIC) principles. The research concludes with recommendations for integrating
indigenous rights into REDD+ policies to ensure equitable outcomes and
sustainable forest management in Indonesia. | en_US |
