The UK\u2019s absence reduces that anchor effect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Private finance is no substitute (yet):<\/strong> While the UK emphasises mobilising private investment, private capital is typically slower, more risk-averse, and requires more conditions. Relying exclusively on private flows may delay the fund\u2019s impact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reputational risks for climate diplomacy:<\/strong> The UK had previously been seen as a forest-protection champion (e.g., at COP26) and its retreat may erode its global climate-leadership credentials \u2014 especially in nature-based solutions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forest protection is material to the UK:<\/strong> Although this fund is external, protecting tropical forests has implications for global climate stability, food security, biodiversity and global ecosystem services \u2014 all of which affect the UK indirectly.
