On Friday 20 October 2017, the launch ceremony of the Forestry and Climate Change Fund (FCFF) will be held at the Banque et caisse d’épargne de l’État premises in Luxembourg-ville.

The FCCF is a fund which will finance pioneering forest management models for secondary and degraded forests in the tropical regions of Central America. The fund will therefore contribute to the fight against climate change along with the implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement.

The founding shareholders of the FCFF are the Luxembourg State, represented by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure, as well as the BCEE, the Banque international à Luxembourg (BIL) and the Foyer.

The launch ceremony of the fund planned for this Friday will take place in the presence of Luxembourg Finance Minister Pierre Gramegna and Minister of the Environment Carole Dieschbourg.
