The Coalition for Rainforest Nations is an intergovernmental organization focused on tropical rainforest sustainability. With a secretariat in New York City, it serves as a forum for participating countries, academia, and industry to align domestic and international policies governing rainforest management, biodiversity conservation, and climate stability. The organization emphasizes capacity building, policy development, and the establishment of standards and regulatory and reporting frameworks to support sustainable development and related market mechanisms. It also works to facilitate market access for carbon trading and certified forest products and to provide a platform for negotiations that connect developing nations with industrialized economies. Recent developments include the 2020 launch of a REDD+ carbon credits trading platform and registry, and its 2025 participation as an official negotiating bloc at COP30.
