The Green Plus program highlights the problematic structure of carbon credit initiatives, where local communities receive no direct financial benefit. Instead, third-party organizations, often foreign and disconnected from local realities, control the funds and decide their allocation. This system undermines the potential for local empowerment, as decisions about environmental protection and community development are made by individuals who do not reside in or understand the local context. The initiative purports to serve local interests but may ultimately align more with the agendas of wealthy foreign entities, diminishing the autonomy and participation of local populations in projects that directly affect them.
