The world’s forests are disappearing. Science tells us that if we don’t reverse deforestation in the next decade – in addition to taking urgent action to decarbonize our economies – our climate goals will be out of reach.
The LEAF Coalition today announced that it has mobilized $1 billion USD for countries and states committed to increasing ambition to protect tropical and sub-tropical forests and reduce deforestation.
As the world reaches for solutions to meet globally-agreed targets for climate, biodiversity, and land degradation, the LEAF Coalition has received more than 30 proposals by sub-national governments that together encompass over half a billion hectares of forest.
