Nations are not spending enough to ensure that the forests that cover nearly a third of the planet remain healthy, according to a new United Nations report.
To meet various international climate, biodiversity and land restoration goals, annual global spending needs to triple to $300 billion by 2030, the report found.
Forests are the “quintessential definition of a public good,” because of the benefits they provide, said Gabriel Labbate, who leads the climate mitigation unit at the UN Environmental Program and is one of the lead authors of the analysis.

Joel Rocamora and the Philippine Left
This column is about two books written by Joel Rocamora — “Impossible is Not So Easy: A Life in Politics” (Bughaw, 2019) and “Retrieving the Past: A Memoir” (Bughaw, 2024). Both are the stories of his life, especially his political life. At the same time, these are also the stories of the Philippine Left where Rocamora began as an active member of the National Democratic Front and later became a founding member of the Akbayan, the social democratic party which now counts Risa Hontiveros and Chel Diokno as its leaders. The author’s experience in civil society and governance with the National Anti Poverty Commission and the Center for Popular Democracy allows him to offer more than mere abstract theory.
