  • Brazil will be the first country to announce an investment in the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF).
  • It is a multilateral fund supporting conservation of endangered tropical forests worldwide.
  • President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva plans to announce the investment at the United Nations in New York ahead of COP30, which Brazil will host in November.
  • The Brazilian government aims to set a benchmark with a “considerable” initial contribution to encourage other countries and private investors to join.
  • The TFFF targets raising $125 billion, combining sovereign and private-sector funds to pay countries annual stipends based on their remaining tropical forests.
  • Initial support for the fund has come from China, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Norway, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.
  • Brazil hopes its investment will catalyze further commitments, signalling trust in the fund and promoting global climate finance cooperation.
