“Forests can buy us time in climate action in our rapidly closing window of opportunity. If we reverse deforestation and recover what has been lost, we can unlock massive removals of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere while bringing ecosystems back to life. Tapping into such an outstanding potential requires enhanced global support and investment, including through financial resources, technology transfer, and capacity-building.”
André Aranha Corrêa do Lago, COP30 President-Designate
This November the Global Climate Summit. called the Conference of the Parties (COP30), will be held in the Amazon, Brazil and will be our last rainforest climate summit this decade. Its location, in the world’s biggest rainforest, will be a real awakening for the over 90,000 delegates attending both in terms of the importance of rainforests and the effect of climate on the more disadvantaged. Hopefully, COP30 will send a clear message that the world must act with finance and supportive policies to save the world’s tropical forests
The Brazilian government and CfRN are committed to making the summit a success. Our goal for COP30 will be to play our part in helping scale up climate finance from all sources to secure $1.3 trillion annually by 2035 for developing countries. For forests, CfRN is working closely with the COP30 Presidency and other partners to bring about the full reversal of tropical deforestation under the Paris Agreement.
Regards,
Kevin Conrad
Executive Director, Coalition for Rainforest Nations
