Pathways to Value: Achieving a breakthrough for international climate finance for tropical forest conservation

Reversing tropical forest loss is essential for using natural climate solutions to achieve global climate goals.

This paper examines the challenges in securing finance for protecting and restoring these ecosystems, and the obstacles to funding efforts to end tropical deforestation and presents pathways to create value.

It also offers strategies – such as raising credit prices, improving access to upfront finance, using donor support to set price floors – to help determine prices and attract concessional finance from multilateral development banks.
