Philippines' Potential Gain from COP30's Forest Financing Mechanism
The Philippines, a Southeast Asian country heavily affected by deforestation, is expected to benefit from the forest financing mechanism introduced at COP30.
The country plans to include forestry sector targets in its updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to be announced at the upcoming United Nations climate talks, COP30, in Belém, Brazil.
The forestry and land use sectors will contribute to reaching the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 75 per cent under the Paris Agreement from 2020 to 2030.
Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF)
COP30 host Brazil will launch the TFFF, a $125 billion blended-finance mechanism combining public, philanthropic, and private capital, to pay forest countries for maintaining standing tropical forests.
- The TFFF aims to support forest conservation efforts.
- Brazil is home to the Amazon, representing over half of the total area of remaining rainforests on the planet.
