Global Outlook 2026

The 2025 UN Conference of the Parties (COP) was held in Belém, Brazil, and has been labelled as “Nature COP” with its location near the Amazon rainforest highlighting the urgency of addressing nature loss and its implications for climate stability and economic resilience1. This emphasis on nature underscores the growing global focus on biodiversity and ecosystem preservation.

Brazil used COP30 to launch the Tropical Forests Forever Fund (TFFF)2, an innovative financing initiative aimed at supporting forest conservation in developing countries. Preserving tropical forests is critical: terrestrial ecosystems absorb an estimated 30% of human-induced CO₂ emissions (2010–2019)3, while sustaining biodiversity and providing essential ecosystem services that underpin agriculture, water cycles, and climate regulation.
