Re the TFFF: that Tropical Forests Forever Facility meant to be launched at COP30 - it is based on ‘blended finance’:

https://maxalexandermatthey.substack.com/p/the-tropical-forest-forever-facility-b6b 

'TFIF and its asset managers then invest this $125bn of capital into a mixed portfolio of investments, including public and corporate market bonds, but excluding those with a significant environmental impact. (In a joint letter, issued in October, advocacy and research groups called for a more detailed exclusion criteria.)

Income from these investments, in turn, will be used to pay investors first, then interest to donor countries and, finally, to pay participating forest countries. The payments to participating countries will be roughly $4 per hectare of standing forest (subject to annual adjustment for inflation), as verified by satellite imagery.’
