Chile

Chile has an extensive and complex native forest resource that covers 14 million hectares or 23% of the country’s surface area. Direct drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in Chile include fuelwood production, the expansion of livestock and agricultural activities, urban expansion, and forest fires.

Chile's FCPF Carbon Fund Program
Program name: Chile’s Emission Reductions Program
Program location:

6 of the 16 administrative regions in the country 
Program area: 15.3 million ha
ERPA terms: Up to $26 million for reductions of 5.2 MtCO2e

The ER program in Chile supports the implementation of the country’s National Strategy for Climate Change and Vegetation Resources (ENCCRV), which aims to decrease the forest-related social, environmental, and economic vulnerability generated by climate change, desertification, land degradation, and loss of vegetation resources. The program focuses on helping Chile address its main drivers of deforestation through strategic activities such as preventive forest fire management and postfire restoration, sustainable forest management, forest and livestock management models, and sustainable use of vegetation resources, complemented with reforestation of priority areas with native species.
