Jonas Gahr Støre utroper den reduserte avskogingen i Brasil til årets viktigste klimanyhet. Vi kunne ikke vært mer enige! 🌍💚Synd at Norge likevel ikke finner midler til å oppskalere regnskogsatsingen nå som vi virkelig begynner å se resultater.

"Norway's PM Jonas Gahr Støre today hailed Brazil's reduced deforestation as "the biggest climate news of the year". We couldn't agree more! Now that Brazil has invited Norway to join the G20 meeting next year, we expect a stong collaboration to bring nature to the core of G20.

While almost all REDD+ projects in #Colombia are in #IndigenousPeoples territories, the lack of regulation, transparency and consultations leaves many communities in the dark about the projects, says Julia Naime senior advisor Rainforest Foundation Norway (RFN).

Happy to contribute to this important story by Mongabay. As the #IPLC pledge is on track, but direct funding moving slow, we also need to discuss how to improve the indirect funding, to make sure more of that funding reach the ground. Do you agree, former chair Kevin Currey?

Countries COP28 UAE commit to triple renewable energy and doubling of energy efficiency by 2030 with a hope that this will replace oil, coal, and gas. COP28 also emphasizes the importance of increased efforts to halting deforestation by 2030. Our take on the deal👇

For the first time, a UN negotiation decision was made on enhanced efforts to halt deforestation by 2030. This is a crucial message as all countries shall deliver their plans for the protection of nature over the next year as part of the Global Biodiversity Framework

Klimaforhandlingene i Dubai COP28 UAE ber for første gang verden om å erstatte fossil energi med fornybar energi og energieffektivisering, men unnlater å tidfeste dette. De viser for første gang til viktigheten av å stanse avskogingen innen 2030. Dette mener vi om avtalen👇

Great story by SONAM and Latoya in Mongabay Latam on our new online tool The Path to Scale Dashboard, that we have developed with RRI - Rights and Resources Initiative, tracking funding to Indigenous, Afro-descendant and local communities. news.mongabay.com/2024/04/new-on…

Climate Home News The story cites our new Path to Scale dashboard and funding brief, which shows that while funding for Indigenous and local communities rose with 36% since 2020, there is no evidence of a systematic shift towards direct funding. Check it out: dashboard.pathtoscale.org
