COP30 Puts Nature at the Center With New Tropical Forest Finance Push

Investors increasingly treat nature risk as material, with disclosure commitments surging.

Overview

  • The Tropical Forest Forever Facility launched ahead of COP30 to channel public and private capital into safeguarding critical tropical ecosystems, promising investor returns while targeting $125 billion.
  • Forest protection dominated discussions at COP30, reflecting a broader elevation of nature issues across recent global climate forums.
  • A 34‑government roadmap introduced earlier this year seeks to unlock new public and private forest finance solutions by 2030.
  • Two years after TNFD issued its recommendations, more than 700 companies and financial institutions from over 56 countries have pledged to begin nature‑related reporting.
  • New analyses report growing integration of nature into finance, with data showing investors adding nature disclosures to transition plans and research linking climate impacts to the greatest economic toll on companies.
