Climate Change/Tropical forests – Can this billion-dollar initiative save the world’s tropical forests? (WEF)

  • A new public-private initiative will provide $1 billion in financing to countries that protect their tropical forests.
  • The US, UK and Norwegian governments have teamed up with global businesses such as Amazon, GSK and Nestlé in an attempt to end deforestation.
  • Destruction of primary rainforests increased by 12% from 2019 to 2020, with the world losing over 4.2 million hectares of forest cover last year.
  • The LEAF Coalition will also benefit billions of people who depend on tropical forests for their livelihoods.
