Norway donates about R$350 million to Brazil's Amazon Fund as deforestation falls to 3,335 sq km, lowest since monitoring began in 1988
Norway announced on November 9, during COP31, a donation of about 600 million Norwegian kroner — roughly R$350 million (about $63.58 million) — to Brazil's Amazon Fund. The Norwegian embassy in Brasilia said the contribution is payment for Brazil's verified deforestation reductions in August 2024 to August 2025 and is expected to be transferred by the end of 2026, subject to final verification.
According to Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE), deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell to 3,335 square kilometres between August 2025 and July 2026, the lowest annual level since satellite monitoring began in 1988. Norway's Climate and Environment Minister Sigrun Aasland described Brazil's results as impressive.
The Amazon Fund was created in 2008 and is managed by the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES). It finances forest conservation, environmental monitoring, sustainable economic activities and action against illegal deforestation. Norway is the fund's largest donor, having contributed approximately R$3.8 billion since its establishment.
