Chile turns its forests into economic opportunities for rural communities

Through the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), Chile has received a second payment of $15 million for more than 3 million tons of verified emission reductions. These resources are reaching communities across six regions, supporting forest management and restoration. 

Together with Chile’s Ministry of Agriculture and National Forest Corporation (CONAF), this work reflects a commitment sustained over many years, showing how public policy can turn environmental results into better livelihoods and lasting opportunities for rural communities.

A brighter future: Rejuvenating coffee production in Ethiopia

In Ethiopia’s Jimma region, thousands of farmers are rejuvenating aging coffee trees through sustainable farming practices that triple yields and restore degraded land.  

With support from the ISFL, about 1.5 million trees have been revived, resulting in rising incomes. This work demonstrates how climate-smart agriculture is helping coffee communities grow both resilience and hope.
