Abstract

The protection of forests is essential for the health of our planet, as forests play a critical role in regulating the climate, maintaining biodiversity, and providing vital ecosystem services. However, global deforestation rates continue to rise due to agricultural expansion, logging, and infrastructure development. To counteract this trend and promote sustainability, innovative financing mechanisms and strategies are required to support forest protection and foster sustainable development. Financing for forest conservation and sustainable development goes beyond traditional funding models. It involves a diverse range of financial instruments, strategies, and partnerships that seek to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship. These approaches include leveraging both public and private capital, incentivizing sustainable land use practices, and creating financial incentives for forest conservation that align with global goals such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on climate change.
