Financiamiento Forestal a la Medida: Menú de Mecanismos Financieros

The report identifies 30 international financial mechanisms totaling US$ 25.9 billion intended for tropical forests. It highlights a significant funding gap compared to the US$ 66.8 billion annual requirement estimated by UNEP, noting that 31% of identified funds remain unissued or undisbursed. The analysis reveals that while conservation is the most common focus, restoration offers high potential for private and blended finance, and REDD+ jurisdictional mechanisms account for over half of the total identified financing.

• There is a substantial gap between current forest financing and the capital required to realize the full potential of tropical forests, which the UNEP estimates at US$ 66.8 billion annually until 2030, compared to US$ 18.2 billion recorded by CPI for AFOLU in 2023.
• The 30 mapped financial mechanisms represent a total of US$ 25.9 billion in planned, issued, and disbursed funds, with 31% of these resources yet to be issued or disbursed. This lack of mobilization is most acute among private actors (88% pending) and blended funds (57% pending).
• Financial mechanisms are distributed across three main goals: conservation, restoration, and deforestation reduction. Conservation is the most frequent focus and relies heavily on public resources due to limited direct financial returns from standing forests. Restoration is supported by fewer mechanisms but tends to have higher investment amounts and attracts more private and blended finance due to links with productive activities.
• Payment-for-results instruments, specifically jurisdictional REDD+ mechanisms, are dominant, accounting for over US$ 15.3 billion, which is more than half of the total identified financing.
• Geographic access to these mechanisms is concentrated, with Brazil (24 mechanisms) and Guyana (19 mechanisms) having the highest access. Only three of the ten nations with the highest carbon capture potential—Brazil, Cameroon, and Colombia—have significant eligibility for the mapped mechanisms.
