Le financement forestier sur mesure : un menu de mécanismes financiers

The report catalogs 30 operational financial mechanisms for tropical forests, totaling US$ 25.9 billion in planned, issued, and disbursed funds. It highlights a significant funding gap compared to the US$ 66.8 billion annually needed by 2030, noting that 31% of identified funds have not yet been disbursed. The analysis emphasizes that while conservation currently dominates funding, restoration offers higher potential for private and blended finance, and jurisdictional REDD+ remains the most significant instrument, representing over US$ 15.3 billion.

• There is a substantial gap between current forest financing and the estimated needs; while CPI identified US$ 18.2 billion in AFOLU financing in 2023, the UNEP estimates a requirement of US$ 66.8 billion per year until 2030.
• The identified 30 financial mechanisms represent a total of US$ 25.9 billion in funds, but 31% of these resources have not yet been issued or disbursed. This lack of mobilization is most acute among private actors (88%) and blended funds (57%).
• Jurisdictional REDD+ is the dominant financial instrument in the analyzed set, accounting for more than US$ 15.3 billion, which is over half of the total identified financing.
• Funding is unevenly distributed across forest objectives: conservation (US$ 2.6 billion) and restoration (US$ 2.2 billion) receive more dedicated funding than deforestation reduction (US$ 1.3 billion). However, mechanisms targeting all three objectives represent the largest total volume at US$ 11.4 billion.
• Restoration is more likely to attract private and blended finance because it is more easily linked to productive activities like sustainable agriculture, whereas conservation relies more heavily on public resources due to limited direct financial returns from standing forests.
• Geographic access to these mechanisms is concentrated in Latin America, specifically Brazil (24 mechanisms) and Guyana (19 mechanisms), leaving a potential under-exploitation of other high-carbon capture potential countries like Cameroon and Colombia.
