The initiative aims to compensate tropical forest countries for preserving forest areas. But despite recent pledges, the fund remains short of its $10 billion fundraising goal for the end of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>After the 2025 U.N. Climate Change Conference in Bel\u00e9m, TFFF received a wave of political support, with over 60 nations endorsing its launch declaration and <a href=\"https:\/\/news.mongabay.com\/2025\/11\/brazils-forest-fund-faces-a-slow-takeoff-at-cop30-despite-initial-support\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">five countries announcing investments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the pace of financial commitments has been slower.

The $10 billion benchmark is especially important because Norway\u2019s $3 billion pledge \u2014 part of that total \u2014 will only be released once the goal is met.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m in a period of anticipation right now, but also optimistic that we\u2019ll get there,\u201d Carlos Rittl told Mongabay.

The amount, part of the country\u2019s budget for 2026, represents the fund\u2019s largest contribution to date.<\/p>\n<p>However, lawmakers reinforced strict conditions for the loan. Beyond the $10 billion benchmark, Norway would only release its full pledge once total sponsor capital reaches at least $15 billion \u2014 meaning it cannot exceed 20% of the total.<\/p>\n<p>Torbj\u00f8rn Gjefsen, acting head of policy at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnskog.no\/en\/what-we-do\/how-we-fund-our-work\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">Rainforest Foundation Norway<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regnskog.no\/en\/what-we-do\/how-we-fund-our-work\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\"> NGO<\/a>, said it would be difficult to change those terms if TFFF falls short on fundraising. \u201cIt\u2019s challenging for the government to push the deadline,\u201d he told Mongabay. \u201cAnd there are no indications that they are considering changing their conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, an effort to change those terms could lead to increased criticism for the initiative at home. During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stortinget.no\/no\/Saker-og-publikasjoner\/Publikasjoner\/Referater\/Stortinget\/2025-2026\/refs-202526-06-19\/?all=true\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">parliamentary debates<\/a> earlier this year, opposition lawmakers already questioned the fund\u2019s sustainability and whether their nation was taking on too much financial risk.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these challenges, Gjefsen says Norway is fully committed to TFFF. The country has recently become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regjeringen.no\/en\/whats-new\/norway-joins-brazil-in-leading-innovative-rainforest-fund\/id3156594\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">co-chair of the initiative alongside Brazil<\/a>. The nation\u2019s Ministry of Climate and Environment also <a href=\"https:\/\/reddmonitor.substack.com\/p\/tomorrows-tropical-forests-forever\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">hired former Oil Fund<\/a> executive, Knut N. Kj\u00e6r, to advise on the fund\u2019s financial model.<\/p>\n<p>Gjefsen believes the country\u2019s conditions stem from the need to ensure the TFFF has enough financial support. \u201cI think they are making sure that TFFF is a viable mechanism before they start transferring money. That includes reaching a certain level of financial commitments from other countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The caution could also come from Norway\u2019s experience with other forest-finance programs in the Global South, including jurisdictional REDD+ (JREDD+). The nation has concentrated most of the financial responsibility for these initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo date, Norway has been one of the few countries to contribute an essential amount of funding to tropical forest conservation,\u201d he said. \u201cThey know it\u2019s important to get other donor countries involved in these initiatives from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_330675\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24115013\/c-Antonio-Guterres-and-Lula.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-330675\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24115013\/c-Antonio-Guterres-and-Lula.jpg\" alt=\"UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres and Brazilian President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva attend the launch of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility. \" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24115013\/c-Antonio-Guterres-and-Lula.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24115013\/c-Antonio-Guterres-and-Lula-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24115013\/c-Antonio-Guterres-and-Lula-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24115013\/c-Antonio-Guterres-and-Lula-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24115013\/c-Antonio-Guterres-and-Lula-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres and Brazilian President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva attend the launch of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility.

In a letter to the House of Commons International Development Committee, the government stated plans to lend up to $540 million to TFFF. But emphasized that the investment is subject to \u201cTFFF\u2019s final size, crediting arrangements, structure and the terms of the loan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The announcement had long been expected.

Germany, for instance, has recently confirmed a roughly $1.15 billion pledge, but the money would be provided over a decade.<\/p>\n<p>At the local level, this raises a question of whether a smaller fund will produce enough money to encourage countries to protect forests. \u201cRight now we\u2019re looking at a maximum of approximately $400 million reaching forest countries if markets hold rather than $4 billion initially announced,\u201d he calculated. \u201cThis means $0.40 per hectare protected, which is negligible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Per TFFF\u2019s design, at least 20% of that amount would go directly to Indigenous peoples and local communities, while the remainder to national conservation programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis fund was designed to encourage actions against deforestation. But that comes with political and financial risks to implementing nations,\u201d he said. \u201cYou have to offer something to counter that risk, and a couple of hundred million dollars potentially distributed over time doesn\u2019t really do the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Finkbeiner with Plant-for-the-Planet argues that a smaller TFFF could still provide incentives for forest preservation. \u201cWhile potential payments would be lower, the penalties for forest loss would remain high,\u201d he said. He believes countries would still work to achieve the maximum payout available.<\/p>\n<p>Whether those incentives are enough will depend on each country. \u201cIt\u2019ll be very different from place to place.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_330673\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24114649\/f-the-Tropical-Forests-Forever-Facility.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-330673\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24114649\/f-the-Tropical-Forests-Forever-Facility.jpg\" alt=\"Launch of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility. \" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24114649\/f-the-Tropical-Forests-Forever-Facility.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24114649\/f-the-Tropical-Forests-Forever-Facility-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24114649\/f-the-Tropical-Forests-Forever-Facility-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24114649\/f-the-Tropical-Forests-Forever-Facility-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/09\/24114649\/f-the-Tropical-Forests-Forever-Facility-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Launch of the Tropical Forests Forever Facility.

These funds would function as a safety net to attract an additional $100 billion from private investors.<\/p>\n<p>The combined $125 billion would then be invested in assets largely in emerging markets. The returns would repay investors and reward tropical forest countries for keeping forests standing.<\/p>\n<p>But last year at COP30 in Bel\u00e9m, the Brazilian government established an interim fundraising goal of $10 billion by the end of 2026. Former Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad called it a challenging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/cop\/brazils-haddad-says-10-billion-goal-forest-fund-tfff-ambitious-feasible-2025-11-03\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">but \u201c<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/cop\/brazils-haddad-says-10-billion-goal-forest-fund-tfff-ambitious-feasible-2025-11-03\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">possible<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/cop\/brazils-haddad-says-10-billion-goal-forest-fund-tfff-ambitious-feasible-2025-11-03\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">\u201d target<\/a>, saying that contributions from only a \u201cfew G20 countries\u201d would reach that goal, Reuters reported in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>During the climate conference, the initiative received strong support from other nations. A total of 66 countries endorsed the TFFF Launch Declaration, including the U.K., Canada, China, Japan, Australia and the UAE. But many have not translated that support into financial pledges.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Australian nonprofit Minderoo Foundation also committed $10 million, a move aimed at helping \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.minderoo.org\/media\/minderoo-foundation-invests-us-10-million-to-protect-the-world-s-tropical-forests\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">catalyse support from other philanthropies, family offices, and private investors<\/a>.\u201d However, aside from The Nature Conservancy, no other organization has announced a contribution.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Banner image:<\/strong> Orange-winged amazon (<\/em>Amazona amazonica<em>).
