Core offering

The Forest & Climate Leaders' Partnership (FCLP) is an intergovernmental coalition of 41 countries plus the European Union that coordinates political action to halt and reverse forest loss by 2030. Its core offerings consist of voluntary action areas and initiatives that align public and private finance, strengthen Indigenous and community land rights, develop sustainable forest industries, and create accountability mechanisms through annual progress reviews. The coalition delivers country-led transformation programs, a Forest Finance Roadmap, jurisdictional REDD+ scaling, and land tenure commitments to its member governments.

Product overview

The Forest & Climate Leaders' Partnership (FCLP) is not a technology product company but an intergovernmental coalition of 41 countries plus the European Union launched at COP27 to halt and reverse forest loss by 2030. The partnership operates through six voluntary action areas delivered via multiple initiatives and workstreams: (1) Forest Finance Roadmap for Action providing strategic framework for mobilizing $66.8 billion in annual forest finance; (2) Scaling J-REDD+ Coalition enabling high-integrity carbon markets for forests; (3) Country Packages for Forests, Climate and Nature supporting country-led transformations; (4) Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities Platform advancing land tenure rights; (5) Greening Construction with Sustainable Wood promoting responsible timber use; and (6) Integrated Fire Management addressing wildfire resilience. The FCLP serves as a political coordination platform providing convening power, strategic direction, and accountability mechanisms rather than a software or technology product offering.

Products and services

• Forest Finance Roadmap for Action A six-point strategic plan developed in collaboration with Brazil and UNEP to mobilize and align public and private finance to halt and reverse deforestation by 2030. Sets out priority actions including innovative financial mechanisms, jurisdictional forest credits, forest bioeconomy, supply-chain finance, fiscal policies, and sovereign-debt instruments.
• Country Packages for Forests, Climate and Nature Country-led transformation programs that align policies, institutions, and investments toward climate, forest, and nature goals. Seven countries have launched packages (Colombia, DRC, Gabon, Ghana, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Republic of Congo) with coordinated cross-sectoral approaches to unlock financing and collaboration.
• Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities Platform A dedicated workstream and platform launched at COP28 to support participant countries' progress toward strengthening tenure rights and enhancing meaningful participation of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in climate and forest action. Coordinates joint efforts on tenure rights and forest climate action.
• Greening Construction with Sustainable Wood Initiative An initiative to accelerate leadership and investment in sustainably produced wood and bio-based materials in construction. Supports low carbon construction and increased use of wood from sustainably managed forests in the built environment by 2030.
• Intergovernmental Land Tenure Commitment The first global commitment dedicated to securing land tenure for Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant communities, and traditional communities. Target to collectively recognize and strengthen 160 million hectares of community lands by 2030. Co-led by Brazil, Norway, and Peru.
• Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) An innovative financial mechanism designed to provide long-term, predictable payments to countries that preserve tropical forests. Supports national forest strategies, strengthens forest monitoring, and ensures benefits flow directly to Indigenous Peoples and local communities (20% earmarked).
• Scaling J-REDD+ Coalition A collective action coalition incubated by FCLP to accelerate action and finance for forests by helping Jurisdictional REDD+ meet its full potential of delivering $3-6 billion per year by 2030. Includes governments, Indigenous Peoples, investors, intermediaries, standard setters, and civil society.
• Carbon Markets Workstream Workstream focused on scaling both supply and demand for high-integrity jurisdictional forest results and credits. Addresses demand-side constraints, supports market functioning, builds supply-side capacity, and strengthens market confidence.
• Integrated Fire Management Workstream Workstream to shift wildfires from reactive emergency to long-term political and policy priority, embedded in national forest, climate, and land-use frameworks. Focuses on prevention, preparedness, landscape management, and post-fire recovery. Co-led by Peru and Kenya.
• Unlocking Private Finance for Forest-Safe Value Chains Workstream Workstream to mobilize and redirect private capital toward forest-safe value chains. Addresses gap between improved visibility of forest risks and real investment flows. Co-led by Germany, Costa Rica, and Colombia.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• UN-REDD Programme: United Nations collaborative initiative on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation involving FAO, UNDP, and UNEP. Directly comparable as a forest-focused multi-stakeholder partnership, with deeper technical UN backing but narrower political mandate than FCLP.
• Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ): Coalition of financial institutions committed to net zero, similarly structured as a voluntary multi-stakeholder partnership convened post-Glasgow. Comparable in coalition model and political backing, though focused on private finance decarbonization rather than forests specifically.
• Tropical Forest Alliance: World Economic Forum-led multi-stakeholder partnership focused on removing deforestation from commodity supply chains. Comparable to FCLP as a forest-focused partnership, but operates primarily through private-sector supply chain engagement rather than intergovernmental convening.
• Coalition for Rainforest Nations: Intergovernmental coalition of rainforest countries that pioneered REDD+ at COP15 in Copenhagen and continues to advocate for forest nations in climate negotiations. Highly comparable to FCLP as a member-state coalition focused on tropical forest protection and finance, though narrower in scope and lacking FCLP's Global North/South bridge.

Others

• World Resources Institute (WRI): Global research organization that operates Global Forest Watch and provides technical inputs to forest finance and Country Package work. Comparable as a forest-knowledge and data ecosystem participant, but as an NGO research institute rather than an intergovernmental convener.
• World Wildlife Fund (WWF): International NGO providing technical support, financing, and implementation expertise for forest country programs aligned with FCLP priorities. Comparable as a forest-focused partner organization, but operates as a conservation NGO rather than an intergovernmental coalition.

Emerging players

• Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity (VCMI): Multi-stakeholder initiative providing integrity guidance for voluntary carbon markets including forest credits. Comparable as a coalition working on carbon market integrity that intersects with FCLP's Carbon Markets workstream and J-REDD+ agenda.
• Global Forest Coalition: An international NGO coalition of 100+ civil society and Indigenous Peoples' organizations focused on forest biodiversity and rights. Comparable as a forest-focused advocacy coalition, but operates as a civil society network rather than an intergovernmental partnership.

Broad incumbents

• UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change): The parent treaty framework under which FCLP operates through annual COP meetings. Comparable as the overarching international climate governance body, but far broader in mandate, covering all climate action beyond forests.
• UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme): FCLP's core partner on the Forest Finance Roadmap and the source of the $66.8B finance gap estimate. Comparable as a global environmental governance organization, but operates as a formal UN agency rather than a member-state coalition.
