Canada announces initial contribution of up to C$560 million (about US$390 million) over four years to the Tropical Forest Forever Facility, unveiled by Carney in Manila
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on November 15, during a meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on the margins of the ASEAN Summit in Manila, Philippines, that Canada will make an initial contribution of up to C$560 million (about US$390 million) over four years to the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF).
Co-led by Brazil and Norway, the TFFF is a financing mechanism mobilising public and private investment to protect tropical forests, preserve biodiversity and support the communities that depend on these ecosystems. The facility was launched in November 2025, during the COP30 Leaders' Summit in Belém, Brazil, and Canada joined 65 other countries in endorsing the declaration on its launch.
The Prime Minister's Office release also noted that Canada launched a $3.8 billion nature-protection strategy earlier this year and committed nearly $6 billion in international climate finance in the Spring Economic Update 2026, bringing Canada's climate finance goal for developing countries to over $13 billion by 2031.
