德國之聲介紹的Tropical Forest Forever Facility希望以投資收益獎勵保留熱帶森林的國家。基金計劃先在2026年底前取得100億美元政府種子資本,再吸引約400億美元私人資金;長期設想爲250億美元公共資金配合1,000億美元私人資本。目標規模不是已到賬金額。

報道時確認承諾約79億美元,距初期門檻仍有差額。挪威30億美元承諾附有年底總額到位條件;德國擬自2027年起十年投入約10億歐元,尚需議會批准。加拿大、中國、韓國和阿聯酋被列爲考慮投資者,不能寫成已承諾出資。

機制擬按每年每公頃4美元獎勵保存的森林,至少20%撥給原住民與當地社區,並用衛星資料覈查森林狀況。資金來自市場投資收益,因而涉及投資及治理風險;承諾、審批、到賬和實際保育付款是不同階段。
