Abstract

The Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) mechanism is aimed at reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study aims to develop a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model specifically designed to prioritize locations for REDD + projects. The proposed research design focuses on developing a MCDM framework for determining the priority locations for projects using criteria such as climate impact reduction, contributions to local communities, and biodiversity conservation. The study utilized the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), Weighted Product Method (WPM), Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), and VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) to determine the prioritization of alternatives based on compromise solutions. The success of this research demonstrates that a systematic approach to determining priority locations can be effectively carried out using MCIM. This research is expected to aid policymakers and stakeholders in making more informed and effective decisions for environmental conservation and climate change mitigation.
