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:
Many government, civil society, and corporate leaders at the CBD in Cali will also join the UNFCCC in Baku, UNCCD in Riyadh, and the G20 Summit. Coordinated action across the 2024 COPs is essential if we want to builld a sustainable future for people and nature.
We are developing solutions with farming and forest communities that address the climate crisis while improving livelihoods, advancing human rights, and conserving forests and biodiversity. This white paper provides an overview of our climate work.
How the Rainforest Alliance is promoting locally-led and nature-based climate action across farms, forests, rural landscapes, and supply chains.
For nearly 40 years we have helped farmers adapt to climate impacts and build sustainable livelihoods while supporting companies to achieve their decarbonization goals. Here’s how.

As the effects of climate change manifest around the world, the need for action grows more urgent. With 35 years of experience in sustainable agriculture and forest management, the Rainforest Alliance helps farmers adapt to climate impacts and build sustainable livelihoods while supporting companies to achieve their decarbonization goals.
A key aspect of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is helping farmers to improve farm productivity, thus achieve higher incomes and improved standard of living. Our four main interconnected areas of work—certification, landscape management, tailored supply chain services, and advocacy—have been designed to help support this goal.
Our future climate stability depends on achieving net-zero emissions as quickly as possible, and natural climate solutions are essential to reaching that goal. The Rainforest Alliance is positioned for impact in this space—working across 70 countries and global supply chains in many of the most critically important natural landscapes throughout Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
