The letter urges the GCF Board to reject in particular two requests for so-called “Results-Based Payments”: the Indonesian government supposedly reduced emissions from deforestation during the period 2014-2016, and the government of Colombia during the period 2015-2016. The skilful manufacture of calculations ignores the overall far more complex dynamic of the deforestation process in time and space.

It would be a shameful act if the GCF Board rewarded governments that continue to heavily engage in and promote large-scale deforestation. They continue to hand out concessions and provide incentives to private (inter-)national extractive, agribusiness and other industries that destroy forests.
