Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the “100 People Clean Environment Action” in the Pagat Tourism Area, Batu Benawa District, in supporting the Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) Net Sink 2030 target through the reduction of waste generation and greenhouse gas emissions. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using a case study, involving 100 participants from various community sectors, students, environmental groups, and local government agencies. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model with additional calculations of potential emission reductions based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2019) emission factors. The results showed that 411 kg of waste was collected in less than three hours, with 39.4% consisting of organic waste, which could potentially generate 304 kg CO₂e if left to decompose. This activity not only reduced waste generation but also fostered environmentally friendly behaviors among participants and local communities, such as bringing personal food and drink containers, separating waste, and reducing single-use plastic consumption. The analysis indicates that the program’s success was influenced by the scale of participation, task distribution strategies, and integrated environmental education. The implications of this activity include a tangible contribution to emission reduction and the preservation of the ecological function of the tourism area as a carbon sink. This intervention model has the potential to be replicated in other tourist destinations with similar socio-ecological conditions to sustainably support the achievement of the FOLU Net Sink 2030 target.
