🌿 Amazon in Focus: Climate Action Plans and Finance for Justice in the Forest

​The Amazon is one of the planet’s most vital yet vulnerable biomes. Indigenous, riverine, quilombola, and extractivist communities have long led territorial Climate Action Plans, combining local knowledge and adaptation strategies, but still face barriers to climate finance.

​This COP30 side event spotlights how innovative financial instruments like the Tropical Forest Finance Facility (TFFF) can help scale community-driven forest conservation and local development. It brings together grassroots experiences, regional cooperation, and financial innovation to advance climate justice and Amazonian leadership toward implementing Brazil’s NDC and global adaptation goals.
