Forest Resilience Bonds are now operational, funding projects that reduce wildfire risks in the western U.S.

These financial instruments have matured over a decade to support critical forest management and water supply enhancement, directly benefiting local economies by creating jobs and safeguarding natural resources against catastrophic wildfires.

The bonds help finance projects that clear out hazardous fuels from forests, improving both ecological health and community safety.

Long-term, these efforts aim to prevent severe wildfire outbreaks, preserving the integrity of watersheds and maintaining economic stability in rural areas.

What is the long-term climate outlook for this region?

With ongoing climate change increasing wildfire risks, Forest Resilience Bonds offer a proactive approach to mitigate these threats. They ensure continuous funding for forest health and water supply projects, crucial for adapting to drier conditions.

The outlook remains cautiously optimistic with continued investment.
