How do we turn forest carbon potential into real climate finance? The answer may lie in stronger “nesting” frameworks, aligning project-level activities with national REDD+ systems to ensure credibility, scale, and investment readiness.

At a high-level dialogue in Jakarta, leaders emphasized that clarity, transparency, and alignment are key to unlocking private investment and delivering real impact for forests and communities.

💬 Indonesia’s Ministry of Forestry highlighted a clear ambition: to create predictable financial pathways that support communities while advancing climate goals.

💡 Why this matters:

  • Stronger nesting = more credible carbon markets
  • Clear frameworks = increased investor confidence
  • Inclusive systems = better outcomes for people & forests

With initiatives like FOLU Net Sink 2030 and growing examples from provinces like Riau, Indonesia is positioning itself as a global leader in jurisdictional REDD+ action.

Through the UN-REDD Programme, efforts are underway to move from readiness to full implementation, building scalable, high-integrity forest carbon markets.
