"By turning these standing forests into a protected asset, the Tropical Forest Forever Facility, as the new financial instrument is called, seeks to monetize their value as a global public good and give forested nations financial incentives to not destroy them."
Brazil propose a new fund (TFFF) that would pay countries to keep forests standing.

I don't know if this fund is perfect, but I know that it is important to protect tropical forests with their invaluable biodiversity, indigenous people and high storage of carbon 💚

This is what deindustrialization in a carbon shock therapy setting looks like. If the state doesn’t do the planning and redistribute any remaining surpluses downward, private equity will do the planning and redistribute any remaining surpluses upward (and out of country).
