Our work aims to impact deforestation in tropical forests.

To advance equitable and enduring solutions, Forests, People, Climate (FPC) focuses on ensuring funding flows to where it is most needed for success, in particular to Indigenous Peoples, Local Communities, and Afro-descendants in tropical forest countries. A broader network of organizations will efficiently move funding to local partners.

A Monitoring and Learning (M&L) Framework functions as a service to the field, so partners can assess progress of collective efforts in halting and reversing forest loss and securing just, sustainable development, harness critical data and knowledge, inform and strengthen their approaches, and ultimately, ensure success.
