The Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) secured $6.7 billion in sponsor capital at COP30, representing less than a quarter of the $25 billion initially required for a full-scale rollout.

Policy analysts warn that a smaller fund could likely lose the capacity to outpace deforestation drivers.
Brazil’s forest fund faces a slow takeoff at COP30 despite initial support

#COP30 ended with #FoodSystems missing from the deal—even as Brazil served delegates 80 tonnes of local, #agroecological food.🌱

Elisabetta Recine:
“Food solutions were everywhere around COP30 – but none of this made it into the final agreement.”

“Food solutions were on display everywhere around COP30 – from the 80 tonnes of local and agroecological meals served, to concrete proposals for tackling hunger – but none of this made it into the negotiating rooms or the final agreement. Despite all the talk, negotiators failed to act, and the lived realities of people most affected by hunger, poverty, and climate shocks went unheard.” Elisabetta Recine, IPES-Food
