Governments 2025

The 'Governments 2025' briefing outlines eight priority actions for governments to implement by COP30 in Belém to align climate, trade, and land-use policies with global forest protection goals.

• Governments are urged to implement eight specific actions by COP30 in Belém to restore progress on forest protection, as there are only five years remaining to meet global forest commitments.
• The briefing advocates for systemic changes rather than 'piecemeal fixes,' specifically calling for the securing of Indigenous land rights, the repurposing of harmful subsidies, the strengthening of governance, and the scaling up of forest finance.
• The priority actions were created through consultations with researchers, civil society, and governments, with coordinating authors from Climate Focus, WWF, and Swansea University.
