This Roundtable is a direct follow-up to the first-ever REDD+ Investment Roundtable held in London in July 2025, which brought together jurisdictions and corporate buyers and began identifying practical pathways to high-integrity forest carbon deals.

While the London engagement focused on exploration, building trust, gauging interest, and identifying barriers, the Seoul event aims to deepen the dialogue through practical case studies and real-world applications. As jurisdictions such as Indonesia, Viet Nam, and Nepal move closer to implementing credit issuance, the emphasis shifts toward understanding the structuring of transactions: managing pricing risk, standardizing contracts, ensuring credit quality, and exploring pathways for private-sector participation.

Ultimately, this aims to support the broader objective of demonstrating that a clear and structured market is emerging. This evolving signal is expected to inform discussions leading into COP30, highlighting that jurisdictional REDD+ is progressing from a policy concept toward practical implementation.
