What is the Tropical Forest Forever Facility?

The Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) is a new $4 billion annual financing model launched by Brazil, the host of COP30, to value standing forests as essential global assets and support conservation efforts in over 70 tropical forest countries.

How will the TFFF benefit Indigenous Peoples and local communities?

The TFFF has committed that at least 20% of the national disbursements will go directly to Indigenous Peoples and local communities, recognizing their critical role as stewards of the forest.

What is the goal of the TFFF?

The TFFF aims to shift the narrative around forests, moving from seeing them as vulnerable spaces to recognizing them as engines of development, resilience and climate stability. It will provide verified, performance-based payments to countries for maintaining their forest cover.

Brazil to Launch $4 Billion Tropical Forest Financing Facility at COP30

With the COP30 climate conference just a month away, Brazil, the host country, is taking a proactive approach to driving global climate action. One of the key initiatives they will unveil at the conference is the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF), a new $4 billion annual financing model designed to value standing forests as essential global assets.

The TFFF, which will be hosted by the World Bank, aims to mobilize a blend of public and private capital to support forest conservation efforts across more than 70 tropical forest countries. It will provide verified, performance-based payments to these nations for maintaining their forest cover, shifting the narrative from forests being seen as vulnerable spaces to being recognized as engines of development, resilience and climate stability.
