Tropical Forests for Climate Impact: Driving Innovation in Results-based Policy and Finance on the Road to COP30
As part of London Climate Action Week, CTrees is bringing together leaders in science, policy, and finance on June 26 to discuss the future of tropical forests and the role of results-based programs to protect these vital ecosystems as a solution to climate change.
The event will preview Brazil’s agenda for COP30 and highlight innovative initiatives, including jurisdictional REDD+ and the Tropical Forest Forever Facility, designed to deliver large-scale finance to reduce deforestation in the Amazon Basin, Central Africa, and Southeast Asia.
Featuring panel discussions with government officials, scientists, and investors, the event will explore the combination of public policy, advanced technology, and climate finance needed to protect tropical forests.
Advanced registration for this event is required and subject to approval. Event registration is now closed. Please contact Daniel Melling, director of marketing and communications, dmelling@ctrees.org with any questions about registration.
