COP30 Day 8

At COP30 Day 8, countries and partners showed a clear shift from promises to implementation by placing nature at the center of climate action. Major advances included the operationalization of the Tropical Forest Forever Facility—the largest forest-finance mechanism ever created—alongside new IPLC-informed governance models, record progress on land-tenure rights, and renewed donor commitments that exceeded the $1.7B IPLC Pledge ahead of schedule. Additional initiatives such as the Global BioChallenge, the Scaling JREDD+ Coalition, and Brazil’s Earth Investment Engine, which mobilized over $10B for nature-based solutions, demonstrated how coordinated finance, community leadership, and nature-positive policies are accelerating forest protection, bioeconomy development, climate resilience, and multilateral cooperation.

Efforts to strengthen global adaptation and mitigation also advanced, including major new contributions to the Adaptation Fund, integrated fire management through the Global Fire Management Hub, and billions committed to regenerative agriculture and land restoration under the COP Action Agenda on Regenerative Landscapes. Youth and Indigenous leaders played a prominent role across COP30, sharing community-driven adaptation strategies and shaping high-level dialogues on implementation. Together, these developments underscore that valuing and protecting nature is now a practical foundation for climate ambition—driving resilient societies, stronger economies, and meaningful progress toward global climate goals.
