There are various political and economic concerns behind green projects, however, “pro-environment” is a specific watchword key in the initiatives. One of the current and most familiar global initiatives is Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus (REDD+), which is conducted in
Indonesia and Brazil.

There have been numerous green initiatives including REDD and Forest and Law Enforcement Governance (FLEG). A significant contribution to forest protection is made through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) as a leading global initiative, which is legally recognized and implemented through governmental actions.
