This is a decisive decade for climate action. The world needs to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions while helping people adapt to the climate change that is already occurring. Together with its partners, the Rainforest Alliance is committed to accelerating climate adaptation and mitigation. We do this by focusing on locally led and nature-based solutions, including forest protection, restoration, and improved land management practices to increase carbon storage, avoid greenhouse gas emissions, and build resilience to climate impacts.
This COP we are:
- Raising the importance of locally led nature-based solutions such as ICFM and regenerative agriculture in fighting climate change, and in contributing to adaptation, good ecosystem health, people’s well-being, budding biodiversity, and GHG reductions.
- Amplifying the message that eliminating deforestation, forest degradation and ecosystem conversion associated with agriculture and forestry is a necessary step that companies must take immediately to meet climate goals, as emissions from land use change must reach zero well in advance of 2030 for all pathways to a 1.5 future.
- Advocating for a greater focus on climate finance supporting locally led adaptation efforts and transition, disaster prevention and support, payments for ecosystem service provision for developing countries and smallholder farmers in these countries.
- Encouraging private sector finance and investments in regenerative agriculture, ecosystem restoration reducing forest degradation with, among other, sustainable community forestry alongside public sector finance to maximize impact of climate smart actions.
