Le financement forestier sur mesure : un menu de mécanismes financiers

This executive summary by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI/PUC-Rio) analyzes 30 international financial mechanisms designed to support tropical forests, focusing on conservation, restoration, and the reduction of deforestation. The report identifies a significant funding gap, noting that while current mechanisms mobilize US$ 25.9 billion, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) estimates a need for US$ 66.8 billion annually until 2030 to realize full forest potential.

• There is a substantial gap between current forest financing and the levels required to meet climate goals. CPI identified US$ 18.2 billion in funding for Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) in 2023, whereas the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP 2025) estimates that US$ 66.8 billion per year is needed until 2030.
• CPI/PUC-Rio cataloged 30 operational international financial mechanisms with a total of US$ 25.9 billion in planned, issued, and disbursed funds. Ten of these mechanisms have reached or exceeded US$ 1 billion, indicating that large-scale forest investments are becoming more frequent.
• A significant portion of identified funding has not yet been realized. Approximately 31% of the total resources within existing mechanisms have not been issued or disbursed, with the highest rates of unmobilized funds found in private actor mechanisms (88%) and blended funds (57%).
• Financial mechanisms are distributed across three primary objectives: conservation, restoration, and the reduction of deforestation. Conservation is the primary focus for most mechanisms and relies heavily on public resources due to limited direct financial returns from standing forests. Restoration is more frequently supported by private actors and blended funds because it aligns more easily with productive economic activities.
• Jurisdictional REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) is the dominant financial instrument, representing over US$ 15.3 billion, which is more than half of the total identified financing.
• Access to financial mechanisms is geographically uneven. While 48% of the 30 mechanisms are global, there is a high concentration of initiatives in Latin America, specifically in Brazil (accessible to 24 mechanisms) and Guyana (accessible to 19). Only three of the ten countries with the highest carbon capture potential—Brazil, Cameroon, and Colombia—have significant access to the identified mechanisms.
