We call on groups, organisations and movements to sign on to this statement to STOP the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF). This new initiative, slated to be launched at the UN Climate Conference in November in Brazil, has been created to supposedly provide funding for forest conservation.
STOP the TFFF!
The Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) will be launched at the 30th United Nations Climate Conference (COP30), which will take place from November 10th to 21st in Belém, Brazil. This initiative claims to be a "new hope" for tropical forests worldwide. However, this is far from the case.
On this section, we are sharing materials about what the TFFF is and why it must be rejected.

The Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) will be launched at the 30th United Nations Climate Conference (COP30), next November. This initiative claims to be a "new hope" for tropical forests worldwide. However, the TFFF is not about addressing the drivers of deforestation that destroy forests and threaten forest communities. On the contrary, it will tap into a financial market that drives deforestation.

On the side-lines of the UN climate conference in 2023 in the United Arab Emirates, the government of Brazil introduced the “Tropical Forests Forever Facility” (TFFF). The fund, an idea initially thought up by the World Bank in 2018, is expected to be launched at the 2025 UN climate conference in the Amazon city of in Belem, in Brazil. Private sector and public investments and donations would provide the seed capital for financial managers to speculate on capital markets.
