Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) Solutions Dialogue: Innovative Finance for Standing Forests and Thriving Communities.



A high-level session in the context of a series of high-level Solutions Dialogues convened through the UN High-level week, with a view to providing recommendations to consolidate, accelerate and deliver climate action solutions at pace and scale ahead of COP 30.

To maximize impact and visibility, the TFFF Solutions Dialogue aims to:

  • Shape the narrative around unlocking innovative finance for forest conservation and empowering tropical forest countries in the lead-up to COP30. The event should present the TFFF as a Global South-led solution to systemic gaps in environmental finance, emphasizing its potential to reshape international architecture through equitable, performance-based funding.
  • Mobilize high-level political engagement by convening key champions from both tropical forest countries and potential investor countries, laying the groundwork for bold announcements at COP30.
  • Catalyze tangible progress on a few identified solutions.

Tropical forests provide essential ecosystem services — from regulating rainfall and storing vast amounts of carbon to sheltering most of the planet's terrestrial biodiversity. They are also indispensable for food and water security, while underpinning sustainable development and the fight against poverty and hunger. Yet, they remain economically undervalued. The Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF), to be launched at the Leaders' Summit of UNFCCC COP30 in Belém, Brazil, offers an innovative approach to fill this gap by creating real economic incentives to keep these forests standing.

A Call for Action for Dryland Forests (UNFF20 Side Event).

Image
Panel discussion entitled " Call for Action for Dryland Forests " on the sidelines of the 20th Session of the United Nations Forum on Forests. The 20th session of the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF20) presents a pivotal opportunity to tackle the critical issues surrounding land degradation, particularly in dryland areas , which cover about 41% of the Earth's land surface and are home to approximately 2.5 billion people, about 25 percent of the global population. Over 50 percent of these populations rely on agriculture for their livelihoods, primarily producing staples like millet, sorghum, and various pulses. However, agricultural productivity in drylands is hindered by challenges such as low soil fertility, high evaporation rates, and erratic rainfall patterns. The competition for limited land resources between the agricultural and forestry sectors further complicates this issue, often leading to conflicts over land use priorities. In December 2024, during the ...
