This flyer explains Budget Tagging as an important tool to ensure consistency between planning and budgeting in support of Jurisdictional REDD+ objectives under the GREEN for Riau Initiative. One key approach is Climate Budget Tagging (CBT), a method for identifying and classifying budget allocations related to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
The document outlines how CBT helps the government identify programs that contribute to greenhouse gas emission reductions, map activities that strengthen community resilience to climate change impacts, and improve the transparency and effectiveness of climate-related public spending. It also describes the five-stage CBT process, including preparation and consolidation, review and classification, validation, final data processing, and public disclosure.
In addition, the flyer presents the principles of Regional Climate Budget Tagging, participating institutions, key outputs, and the legal and policy framework supporting budget tagging. Through this approach, GREEN for Riau encourages climate-responsive budgeting that is transparent, measurable, and aligned with sustainable development priorities in Riau Province.
