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:
Leila Yassin, the Rainforest Alliance’s global advocacy manager for nature, demystifies the climate change negotiations taking place at COP28.
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.

Conserving forests is at the heart of the Rainforest Alliance’s mission. This paper outlines our principles and strategies for stopping forest degradation and supporting forest communities in vulnerable tropical regions. These include our pathway towards integrated community forest management. This approach recognizes the interdependency of local communities’ livelihoods and their natural environment, and helps create […]
