OroVerde at COP 30 in Belém
We are delighted that a delegation from OroVerde – The Tropical Forest Foundation took part in COP30 in Belém.
Our team exchanged knowledge, established new partnerships, and highlighted the central role of tropical forests in the interaction between climate, biodiversity, and local communities. The conference provided valuable impetus for our future work and the international dialogue on the protection of tropical forests.
With these experiences, we are now looking ahead: we will continue to actively advocate for the protection of tropical forests and a socially just climate policy at future world climate conferences – especially with a view to the upcoming COP.
Hundreds of inspiring projects and initiatives showed that civil society around the world is fighting tirelessly against climate change. And they reminded us that climate protection affects people above all else.

Watching the TFFF unfold: Navigating the Future of Forests and Finance
German Pavilion, COP30 Blue Zone 3pm to 4pm BRT (Belém time) / 19:00 to 20:00 CET
Online via livestream
As we expect the TFFF to be launched at the High-Level Segment before the COP, the event will focus on next steps and how implementation has to look like. Given the venue for this event, the role of sponsor countries will be particularly in focus. There are still many open questions with regards to how the TFFF works and ways on how it can be improved. The role of board memebrs is considered in ensuring an ambitious implementation. The event will close by looking ahead and considering additional ways in which states are to protect bidiversity and forests and honour their commitment from Glasgow to reach zero deforestation by 2030.
