In May, we announced<\/a> a landmark achievement in channelling \u00a31 billion in private investment into forests and sustainable land use through our partnerships<\/strong>. We\u2019re incredibly proud of the work that our team, our partners, communities and actors from across the world have done to make this happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the same month, we also hosted the Partnerships for Forests Forum 2023<\/strong> and Investing in Forests and Sustainable Land Use<\/a><\/strong>, with the first day hosted in partnership with Mobilising Finance for Forests. Over two days, the events brought together more than 350 people involved in investment in forests \u2013 from the private sector, government, DFIs, investment firms, multilateral organisations, and forest communities. It was inspiring to see so many initiatives working to expand regenerative business models that protect and restore the world\u2019s tropical forests. This newsletter features some examples innovative projects and tools we\u2019re supporting to scale up this funding \u2013 including a mechanism for biocredits in Colombia<\/a> <\/strong>and a global protocol for measuring carbon impact<\/a> <\/strong>in tropical reforestation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our quarterly newsletter showcases climate solutions that protect and restore forests via regenerative business and innovative finance.<\/em> Sign up<\/a> to receive these updates straight to your inbox.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both days provided a great opportunity to reflect on our successes so far, and look at new ways to replicate and scale these models to catalyse greater levels of private investment. With a recent estimate<\/a> putting the minimum figure needed to protect the most at-risk areas of tropical forest by the end of the decade at $130bn (\u00a3100bn) a year, this goal will be paramount over the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
