The "GREEN for Riau" initiative, funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (UK-FCDO) and supported by the UN-REDD Programme, aims to unlock forest-based climate solutions in Indonesia's Riau Province. The document outlines a strategic plan to help Riau access jurisdictional REDD+ finance by aligning its subnational systems with Indonesia's national FOLU Net Sink 2030 goals and net-zero emissions targets. This initiative focuses on managing Riau's critical 4.9 million hectares of peatlands through restoration and conservation, which could potentially reduce CO2 emissions by up to 200 million tonnes annually and unlock significant public and private carbon finance. Key delivery components include establishing forest monitoring systems, implementing social and environmental safeguards, strengthening land-use governance, and creating transparent financial mechanisms to support the province's 6.5 million residents and protect its rich biodiversity
