| About the Talk The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (ISFL) support over 22 countries with large scale climate--smart land--use programs and 54 countries with REDD+ readiness support or projects. With over $2.3 billion in combined capital, these funds help countries implement sustainable forest management land use programs with the opportunity for results--based payments for verified emission reductions.
