Description

As a precursor to a proposed EU-funded Action, “Financing for Forests” (FFF), a preliminary assessment across 15 countries is being carried out to provide an overview of existing forest financing tools and mechanisms. This project is the second and third phase of the assessment.

The assessment will produce a short appraisal of the forest finance situation for each country that can help leverage finance for forests geared towards the enhancement of the productivity and sustainability of the forest sector in partner countries. This assessment could inform potential EU future investments as well as partner countries or donors. This is to support progress towards meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement, the Global Biodiversity Framework, SDGs, and overall EU policies.
