AFoCO’s Blended Finance Report for Climate Action Plan 2025–2034 charts a practical pathway to mobilize private sector capital for forest and climate action across its member countries. Blended finance—strategically combining public and private resources—serves as a powerful tool to unlock new financial flows, reduce investment risks, and accelerate project implementation. By making forest and climate projects more investable and scalable, it helps bridge the persistent financing gap in sustainable development.

The report lays out AFoCO’s strategic direction on blended finance under the Climate Action Plan. It highlights key investment pathways, defines the roles of public and private actors, and provides actionable recommendations to scale up forest-based climate investments. Through these efforts, AFoCO aims to de-risk investment, align incentives, and pave the way for long-term, sustainable forest financing across Asia.
