The Mobilising Finance for Forests programme officially launched in February 2021. It is funded with a £152 million commitment from the UK government. The Netherlands' Ministry of Foreign Affairs joined MFF as a second funder in 2024 with a $33.5 million commitment. FMO was chosen as the delivery partner, and with blended finance, will mobilize private capital to combat deforestation and other environmentally unsustainable land use practices that are contributing to global climate change. Working with both direct and indirect investments, the programme aims to create value from standing forests and from (new) business models that incorporate forest protection and restoration.
