Abstract
The Cancun Agreement produced from the 16th Conference of Parties (COPs) of the UNFCCC in Cancun Mexico, became the legal basis of the State's responsibility for fulfilling women's rights in the planning and implementation of the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) project. Paragraph 72 of the Cancun Agreement states, "so that developing countries when developing and implementing national strategy plans to overcome, among others the causes of deforestation and forest degradation, land tenure issues, forest governance issues, gender considerations and safeguards, must ensure full and effective participation from all stakeholders, especially indigenous peoples and local communities ". This statement requires developing countries to integrate gender in the implementation of REDD+ programs, ensuring equality and participation are there in the process and results. The existence of a REDD+ project can be a threat to the livelihoods of women living around or inside forest areas. The weak rights of indigenous peoples over land (including women) have an impact on women losing access to forest use. This study aims to analyze central and regional laws and policies related to gender equality and gender mainstreaming, identify and analyze opportunities and challenges to integrate gender perspectives in the planning and implementation (SRAP) REDD+ of Aceh Province, and develop a gender perspective integration model in the planning and implementation of the Aceh Province REDD+ project.
