Understanding Climate Finance
By Pablo Pacheco and Melissa PanholForest Trends’ Communities and Territorial Governance Initiative has launched Understanding Climate Finance, a new series of educational brochures designed to make complex climate finance concepts more accessible. It focuses on opportunities and challenges for Indigenous Peoples (IPs) and Local Communities (LCs), while providing real-world examples to illustrate how these mechanisms work in practice.

Topics include:
- Carbon and Climate Change
- Carbon Projects and REDD+
- Jurisdictional REDD+ programs (JREDD+)
- LEAF Coalition and ART TREES Standard

- Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC)
