The report explores the pivotal role of re.green, a Brazilian reforestation startup, in advancing climate action through large-scale ecological restoration projects. With a mission to restore one million hectares of degraded land in the Amazon and Atlantic forests, the project aims to capture 15 million tons of carbon annually while conserving biodiversity and empowering local communities.
These initiatives align with the United Nations' broader efforts to combat climate change, particularly through the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF). Brazil's commitment of $1 billion to the TFFF, announced during a UN event, underscores the nation's dedication to forest conservation and climate resilience. Collaborations between re.green and the UN, exemplified by the Floresta+ Amazon Project, demonstrate a synergistic approach to forest conservation. The project supports farmers in conserving native forests by providing direct payments for environmental services, thereby promoting sustainable land use and reducing deforestation.
By aligning with UN-led initiatives and securing diverse funding sources, re.green not only addresses immediate environmental challenges but also sets a precedent for scalable, community-driven conservation efforts worldwide.
