Leveraging private sector investment in REDD+

20171108

Join us at the UK Pavilion at COP23 in Bonn from 15:30-16:30 for a CMIA hosted Side Event titled ‘Leveraging private sector investment in REDD+

Description: The transition needed to halve emissions from the forest sector is estimated to cost US$17-33bn per year. To-date, less than $3bn has been deposited into REDD+ funds, leaving a sizeable funding gap. Yet it is estimated that the reallocation of just 1% of capital from the private sector investor segments would be enough to meet the conservation financing gap. As the GCF sets up its new pilot programme for REDD+, we reflect on the successes and failures in engaging the private sector to-date and to chart a way forward for leveraging private sector investment in REDD+.
