Financiamiento Forestal a la Medida: Menú de Mecanismos Financieros

The report identifies 30 international financial mechanisms mobilizing US$ 25.9 billion for tropical forests, though this remains far below the US$ 66.8 billion annual requirement estimated by UNEP. Financing is concentrated in conservation and is heavily skewed toward a few countries like Brazil and Guyana. While REDD+ mechanisms provide over half of the identified funding, there is a significant gap in the actual disbursement of planned funds, particularly from private and blended sources.

• There is a significant gap between current forest financing and the levels required to realize the full potential of tropical forests. While the Climate Policy Initiative recorded US$ 18.2 billion in financing for Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) in 2023, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP 2025) estimates a requirement of US$ 66.8 billion annually until 2030.
• CPI/PUC-Rio identified 30 international financial mechanisms that mobilize capital for global forest goals, representing a total of US$ 25.9 billion in planned, issued, and disbursed funds. Ten of these mechanisms have a size of US$ 1 billion or more.
• A substantial portion of identified forest financing remains unmobilized. Approximately 31% of the total resources in existing mechanisms have not yet been issued or disbursed, with the highest pending rates found in private actors (88%) and blended funds (57%).
• Forest financing is distributed across three primary objectives: conservation, restoration, and the reduction of deforestation. Conservation is predominantly funded by governments to support traditional communities. Restoration is more frequently supported by blended funds and private actors due to clearer revenue models linked to productive activities. Reduction of deforestation is primarily supported by multilateral funds and bilateral governments and represents the smallest total investment value.
• The most dominant financial instruments in forest financing are credits, grants, and payments for results. Specifically, jurisdictional REDD+ mechanisms account for over half of the total identified financing, totaling more than US$ 15.3 billion.
• Access to financial mechanisms is geographically concentrated. Brazil and Guyana have the highest access, with 24 and 19 mechanisms respectively. However, only three of the ten nations with the highest carbon capture potential—Brazil, Cameroon, and Colombia—are eligible for a significant proportion of the mapped mechanisms.
