#REDD+ & Tropical Forest Forever Facility can be complementary pillars of long-term forest finance pathway, with potential for Facility to accelerate progress & reduce costs by building on REDD+ capacities, institutions & lessons, @FAO's @FortunaS_FAO tells #NYClimateWeek @unredd
🌳 Women are central to stronger #REDD+ action.
In 2025, 89% of UN-REDD activities integrated a gender perspective.
We’re pushing the envelope to ensure women are empowered.
🌱 When women lead, forests and communities thrive.

🌳 Forests need finance, and they need it now.
The State of Finance for Forests 2025 estimates that US$32 billion is needed annually to manage protected forests and avoid deforestation.
Scaling up forest finance is essential to turn commitments into action. 🌍

Forests and peatlands are at the heart of Riau’s environmental and economic future—supporting livelihoods, strengthening communities and helping Indonesia meet its climate goals. 🌳
Today’s event, led by @kemenhut_ri and the Riau Provincial Government, brings together government, the UK, @UN, and development partners to take GREEN for Riau from a jurisdictional approach towards a high-integrity forest carbon market—strengthening the technical and institutional foundations, safeguards and governance needed along the way. #GREEN4Riau @UNinIndonesia
UN-REDD Programme retweeted
Hari ini, Riau menandai tonggak penting sebagai provinsi pertama di Indonesia yang menerapkan standar ART-TREES untuk kredit karbon hutan berintegritas tinggi, melalui Inisiatif #GREENforRiau yang didukung @unredd (@UNEP & @FAO) & didanai @FCDOGovUK.
UN-REDD Programme retweeted
A critical next step for #GREENforRiau, happening today in Pekanbaru: bringing potential carbon buyers to the table to better understand market demand, expectations and what is needed to bring high-integrity forest carbon credits to market.
The roundtable connects Riau’s jurisdictional approach with the market, while keeping environmental integrity, transparency and benefits for local communities at the centre.

Standing w/ the forest's truest guardians! GWA Crown Princess Victoria planted a🌳 at Bayan & shared a dialogue in Karang Bajo. Partnering w/ @kemenhut_ri funded by Norway's @climateforest @unredd, @UNDP supports customary forest recognition to protect biodiversity & livelihoods.
🌳Forests are central to climate action!
🌍 118 countries have included forests & land use in their climate pledges, with 162M hectares committed to restoration.
Now we need to turn pledges into impact.
🌱 Protect forests. Restore landscapes. Invest. Act.

Climate change is pushing the Amazon Basin to a tipping point.
A 🆕 @UNDP study found that if no action is taken, the impact of climate disruptions in the Amazon could cost the region between $404 & $941 billion by 2050 - 2070.

🌳 At #COP30, the focus shifted to a critical question: how do we finance forest protection at scale?
🇮🇩 GREEN for Riau & DINFRA-CRF are exploring new ways to turn forest action into finance.

Zoom out to see clear.
Forests are climate allies, home to most of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity, sources of livelihoods and ancestral territories.
Act now to protect forests and the people who depend on them.
Don’t let deforestation change the picture.

Every 6 seconds, human choices lead to an area of tropical rainforest as big as a football pitch disappearing.
Forests & trees make Earth livable. They are a critical defence against heating.

Billions are spent protecting nature; yet trillions still fund its degradation.
This imbalance is driving climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
But it can be reversed.

Indigenous Peoples are vital partners in protecting forests.
On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we recognise their contributions to sustainable forest management.
Inclusive forest solutions start with respecting rights & ensuring Indigenous Peoples’ voices are heard.
