Riau Launches Green for Riau, a New Jurisdiction-Based Emissions Reduction Strategy

The Riau Provincial Government has launched Green for Riau, a long-term initiative designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving environmental quality throughout Riau. This program is a refinement of the previous program, Green Riau, but with a more comprehensive approach and strong support from various parties, including international organizations.

The Acting Head of the Riau Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda), Purnama Irawansyah S.Hut., MM, explained that Green for Riau is not a one-time project, but rather a major strategy aimed at transforming Riau, a region that has long been synonymous with plantation expansion and ecological vulnerability.
