ABSTRACT Implementation of the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and ForestDegradation (REDD+) program requires the effectiveness, efficiency and equity(equitable) as approach of mitigation on climate change to examine the optionsproposed and outcomes or evaluate the their actual results. This research aims toidentify and analyze the impact of REDD + pilot activities on the environmentand socio-economics of forest communities, as well as assessing the perception oflocal residents on their benefits of REDD + pilot activities and communities?perception on its program relationship with climate change.
