Progress on the New York Declaration on Forests: An assessment framework and initial report

The 2015 NYDF Assessment report establishes a framework of indicators to monitor the ten goals of the New York Declaration on Forests, filling a previous methodological gap. While new initiatives and commitments have emerged in the first year, the report concludes that overall progress is slow and more urgent action is required.

• The 2015 NYDF Assessment report introduces a framework of indicators designed to monitor progress toward the ten goals of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF), addressing a lack of monitoring methodology in the original NYDF launch.
• One year after the NYDF's adoption, it is premature to determine progress in most areas, although new initiatives, commitments, and program implementations have started. Despite these steps, overall progress is characterized as slow, necessitating urgent further action.
