Mobilizing finance is essential to meeting global forest commitments. The 2030 Global Forest Vision: Priority Actions for Deforestation- and Conversion-Free Finance sets out the critical steps that policymakers, financial regulators, and financial institutions must take to align capital flows with deforestation- and conversion-free land use. These actions include integrating DCF criteria into policy and regulation, requiring disclosure and risk management, and embedding DCF standards in investment and lending. Developed through broad stakeholder engagement and endorsed by leading organizations across finance and civil society, this call-to-action provides a roadmap for transforming financial flows ahead of COP30 in Belém.

This publication was developed collaboratively by the DCF Finance Advisory Group (coordinated by The Nature Conservancy, WWF, and the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions) and the Forest Declaration Assessment Partners (coordinated by Climate Focus).
