Closing Keynote - Forest and Finance: A Key Focus at COP 30 in Brazil

Forests hold immense value—not just as ecosystems but as critical assets in the fight against climate change. Despite this, deforestation continues at an alarming pace, revealing deep flaws in how we currently finance forest conservation. 

In this session, Ivo Mulder will share how UNEP is partnering with countries to implement innovative financial solutions, driving action to combat deforestation and secure the future of our planet's forests. Join us to learn how we can turn these challenges into opportunities for lasting impact.
