Amazon Regional Fund

The UK is partnering with Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana and Peru, under the Amazon Regional Fund (ARF) to address key drivers of deforestation, by accelerating action on climate change and sustainable growth through the UK PACT Programme.

To deliver on climate and nature objectives, UK PACT funding has been prioritised for the Amazon biome with the objective of halting and reversing forest loss and land degradation by 2030. 

The fund currently works in Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana and Peru to address key drivers of deforestation, by delivering projects which are climate change mitigation-focused and also demonstrate climate change resilience/ adaptation co-benefits where relevant.

In the coming years, the Amazon Regional Fund will be looking to expand into other countries, addressing more key sectors to accelerate climate transitions, such as renewable energies and green finance.
