During COP30, the ART team was grateful for the chance to connect in person with so many governments, Indigenous Peoples and Local Community representatives, civil society partners, and private sector allies working to scale forest carbon finance.
During both Pre-COP events and the two weeks in Belém, the ART team had a full schedule of meetings on jurisdictional REDD+ (JREDD+) and the role of high-integrity credits in ambitious climate action. These conversations – formal and informal – are essential to making sure we continue to provide jurisdictions with a robust, practical pathway to mobilize finance at scale for protecting and restoring tropical forests. Following below is a gallery of photos from some of the meetings.
