Answer: United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
Notes: Recently, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) released the first State of Finance for Forests 2025 report. The report provides a global overview of public and private forest finance in 2023. It finds a forest finance gap of US$ 216 billion annually between current flows and investment needed to meet global forest goals by 2030. Annual investment must triple to US$ 300 billion by 2030 and increase sixfold by 2050 from US$ 84 billion in 2023. Governments were the main source, providing 91% of forest funding in 2023. Expanding nature-based solutions by 1 billion hectares by 2030 and 1.8 billion by 2050 is essential for climate and biodiversity goals.
