Brazilian coalition forms to boost REDD+ market and forest conservation investment

A new cross-sector coalition, announced by Aliança Brasil NBS, the GCF Task Force, and ABEMA, has formed in Brazil to strengthen the country's REDD+ market and attract investment into forest conservation. The initiative will act as a permanent forum to coordinate a common REDD+ agenda, improve dialogue with the federal government, and address regulatory barriers. The coalition aims to link forest protection with economic development, particularly in the Legal Amazon, by channelling private capital and supporting local livelihoods. Its agenda includes coordinating voluntary and regulated carbon markets, preventing double counting, and integrating jurisdictional programmes with private projects. This development occurs as Brazil progresses its emissions trading system and Article 6 implementation.
