The United for Our Forests Group<\/strong> brings together 18 developing countries <\/strong>that hold more than 62% of the world\u2019s tropical forests<\/strong>. The Group made important commitments and expressed its views in the Joint Communiqu\u00e9<\/strong> issued in Bel\u00e9m in August 2023. Since then, the Group\u2019s governments have made important new commitments to conserve forests<\/strong> and halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030<\/strong>, as set out in the Ministerial Declaration of the 19th Session of the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF) <\/strong>in 2024, as well as in the final decision of the First Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement (GST)<\/strong> in 2023. Several members of the Group have also taken on ambitious commitments to restore and plant new extensive areas of tropical forests. In light of these important environmental commitments, the Group is well placed to play a significant role<\/strong> in the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference<\/strong>, to be held in Bel\u00e9m in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on four successful public meetings in 2024, including in UNFF 19, this event will be an opportunity to share information, views and experiences<\/strong> about the efforts of the group to conserve forests, halt and reverse deforestation, sustainably manage and restore extensive areas of tropical forests<\/strong>. It will also be an occasion to share updated analyses about economic instruments<\/strong> to finance our efforts in this domain, such as grants, credit, equities, risk sharing, payment for ecosystem services, results-based payments, and the carbon market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPI\/PUC-Rio<\/strong> will participate in the event and present a mapping of financial instruments for forests <\/strong>developed in partnership with the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs<\/strong>. The work outlines a typology of financial instruments for conservation, restoration, and deforestation control,<\/strong> systematizing the financial mechanisms<\/strong> available for countries to fund their efforts to preserve tropical forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
