'BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes' is managed by the

The BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes is a multilateral fund managed by the **World Bank** that supports programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the land sector through sustainable land use and forest management. While the **United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)** is a tempting choice due to its leadership in global environmental policy and the UN-REDD programme, it does not manage this specific financial instrument. The core concept being tested is the identification of **international climate finance mechanisms** and the specific roles of multilateral development banks in administering carbon funds.
