This is a decisive decade for climate action. The world needs to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions while helping people adapt to the climate change that is already occurring. Together with its partners, the Rainforest Alliance is committed to accelerating climate adaptation and mitigation. We do this by focusing on locally led and nature-based solutions, including forest protection, restoration, and improved land management practices to increase carbon storage, avoid greenhouse gas emissions, and build resilience to climate impacts.
This COP we are:
Many government, civil society, and corporate leaders at the CBD in Cali will also join the UNFCCC in Baku, UNCCD in Riyadh, and the G20 Summit. Coordinated action across the 2024 COPs is essential if we want to builld a sustainable future for people and nature.
We are developing solutions with farming and forest communities that address the climate crisis while improving livelihoods, advancing human rights, and conserving forests and biodiversity. This white paper provides an overview of our climate work.
How the Rainforest Alliance is promoting locally-led and nature-based climate action across farms, forests, rural landscapes, and supply chains.
For nearly 40 years we have helped farmers adapt to climate impacts and build sustainable livelihoods while supporting companies to achieve their decarbonization goals. Here’s how.
We asked Celia Harvey and Duncan Williamson, our climate experts, for their insights from the most recent COP and to weigh in on the state of global climate action as we head into the second half of this decade.... Continue Reading
For farmers, sustainability is a journey. The destination? Regenerative agriculture.... Continue Reading
In Carbon Brief’s analysis of how food, land, forests and nature featured during COP28, Leila Yassine, our global advocacy manager for nature, highlighted the value of nature-based solutions for both people and nature, and how that can often be overlooked during climate talks.
Experts at the COP28 climate talks emphasize the urgent need for nature-based solutions to address the climate crisis. These solutions could contribute significantly to greenhouse gas reduction, but increased funding and policy integration are crucial for success.
As the world gathers for the UN Climate Conference COP28, the Rainforest Alliance, an international non-profit organization, is reinforcing its commitment to locally led and nature-based solutions through its new climate strategy.
To mark the opening of COP28, the Rainforest Alliance calls for substantial funding increase from governments, financial institutions, and private sector in support of locally led and nature-based solutions.
