Forest Finance (Theme 3) - Forest Declaration Assessment

The Forest Declaration Assessment report examines the alignment of global public and private finance with international forest goals, highlighting the significant funding gap for restoration and the prevalence of harmful agricultural subsidies.

• The Forest Declaration Assessment Partners estimate that protecting and restoring forests globally, including reducing deforestation and implementing sustainable forest management, will require annual investments of up to USD 460 billion.
• Addressing deforestation requires both an increase in 'green' finance for protection and restoration and a reduction in 'gray' finance, which refers to investments in harmful activities. Public gray finance, specifically agricultural subsidies from governments, is estimated to range between USD 378 billion and USD 635 billion annually.
