Sustainable finance

RMFN–Asia will produce and highlight knowledge on actions that enable people to benefit economically from sustainably managed products and services from forest landscapes. We will support Model Forests to diversify local livelihoods, enhance financial and general management capacities, and promote innovation to improve economic efficiency.

RMFN–Asia and our partners will mobilize resources for Model Forests and strengthen the capacities of Model Forest stakeholders to access finance from development funds, corporate or philanthropic entities and public funds. We will seize opportunities from the carbon market and from conservation and climate finance, and will also work with Model Forests to explore other opportunities for stakeholders to generate income. We will ensure that robust mechanisms are in place for sharing benefits and for acquiring the free, prior and informed consent of people likely to be affected.
