Saving the Tropical Forest (Forever Facility): Reflections on a meeting in Oslo
Economists Max Matthey and Aidan Hollis are among the foremost critics of the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF), launched by Brazil at COP30 and supported with USD 3 billion by the government of Norway. They argue that the fund as it is currently structured will not generate the promised resources for forest countries, and they say that Norway is uniquely positioned to guide the mechanism toward a more stable, transparent, and credible design.
