BRB FC members have already allocated US$ 5.37 billion, more than half of the estimated amount by 2030
During an event at COP30 in Belém, the Brazil Restoration and Bioeconomy Finance Coalition announced it has already mobilized US$5.37 billion for forest restoration and bioeconomy projects in the country. This amount represents more than half of the US$ 10 billion to be mobilized by 2030 and will make it possible to restore 3.7 million hectares of Brazilian forests. The information was released during a panel at the Climate Conference, led by the Ministry of the Environment, which included Caitlin Clarke, Director of Policy and External Affairs at BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group, one of the members of BRB FC.
The term “mobilize” refers to the aggregation of investment commitments that BRB FC members intend to direct towards impact projects by 2030. These resources are already linked to concrete goals on the ground.
“Crossing the US$ 5 billion threshold shows that this coalition is not just setting targets on paper – it is building a real pipeline of investments that can reshape landscapes and local economies,” said Maria Netto, Executive Director at the Climate and Society Institute. “Reaching more than half of our 2030 goal in such a short period sends a strong signal that Brazil is ready to scale credible, high-impact finance for forests and bioeconomy.”
“This new milestone demonstrates that the momentum around forests and bioeconomy in Brazil is real – and growing,” said Mauricio Bianco, Vice President, Conservation International Brazil. “The next step is to ensure these commitments translate into high-quality projects that benefit communities, safeguard biodiversity, and strengthen Brazil’s contribution to global climate goals. That is an objective outcome we aim to see from COP30.”
“Hitting this milestone demonstrates that Brazil’s bioeconomy is moving from ambition to action,” said Thiago Picolo, CEO of re.green. “By fostering innovative business models and partnerships, we can scale restoration initiatives that are both economically viable and environmentally transformative, creating new opportunities for sustainable development across the country.”
