At a landmark climate summit in Brazil, world leaders launched the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF), securing over $5 billion in pledges to incentivize forest conservation in tropical nations. Spearheaded by Brazil's President Lula da Silva, this groundbreaking initiative aims to create a $125 billion fund that rewards developing countries for preserving forests while offering returns to private investors through emerging market bonds. The fund represents a crucial step toward addressing both climate change and biodiversity loss through sustainable forest management.
