A paradigm shift in climate and nature finance – the case of Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF)
Wednesday 21 January 2026 09:30-11:00 CET
NATURE ROOM
Tropical forests are our biggest natural climate shield: they store carbon, protect biodiversity, and support millions of livelihoods. They also stabilize economies and infrastructure. Today, the Amazon is close to a tipping point. At around 20% deforestation, science warns it could shift toward savanna, disrupting rainfall systems which would hit agriculture across the Río de la Plata Basin (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay), shake global commodity markets, create major economic losses, and threaten food supply.
At COP30, Brazil launched the Tropical Forest Finance Facility (TFFF) with the World Bank and secured ~USD 6.65B in commitments to reduce those risks and unlock meaningful investment.
Why this structure could be a breakthrough for financing nature at scale — a global, multilateral instrument and a long-term endowment? How TFFF can properly reward Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities for forest stewardship and conservation?
