New Facility Launched in Belém to Fund Tropical Forest Conservation
What happened
The Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) was launched in Belém, Brazil, during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30). The facility was created to correct an economic imbalance where destroying tropical forests is often more profitable than conserving them. The TFFF aims to capture the economic value generated by tropical forests, which provide essential climate, water, and biodiversity benefits globally.

Why it matters
The launch addresses the issue that market prices do not adequately reflect the benefits provided by tropical forests. The TFFF is designed to ensure that the economic value created by these forests is captured by the countries and communities that safeguard them.
