COP30 – Scaling Forest Finance: Leveraging trade relationships and policy enablers for tropical forests
Tropical forests are key to climate goals. This event brings together experts and country representatives to explore how trade relationships and national policies can be harnessed to strengthen and scale up finance in support of forest conservation and a just transition.
The three research groups involved – CPI, BC3 and SEI/GC/Trase – will give short, but impactful, set piece contributions to help shape options and discussion. We’ll then hear reactions, ideas and provocations from the panel.
