Briefings

Brazil launched the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) at COP30 to compensate tropical nations for preserving forests, but the fund remains short of its $10 billion fundraising goal by less than four months. Initial sponsor capital reached $7.3 billion, yet only six countries have made pledges totaling $655 million, with just two nations committing $600 million and a nonprofit adding $5 million. The $10 billion benchmark is critical because Norway's $3 billion pledge will only be released after the target is met. Carlos Rittl of the Wildlife Conservation Society expressed optimism about meeting the goal despite uncertainty about the system's rules. The facility was endorsed by over 60 nations at the 2025 U.N. Climate Change Conference in Belém.

Key points

• The Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) launched at COP30 aims to compensate tropical forest countries for preserving forest areas, but it remains short of its $10 billion fundraising goal by less than four months.
• Initial sponsor capital reached $7.3 billion, yet only six countries have made pledges totaling $655 million, with just two nations committing $600 million and a nonprofit adding $5 million.

Context and limitations

Data reflects initial sponsor capital and early pledges as of September 2026; final fundraising status and completion of Norway's $3 billion pledge are uncertain.
