The report evaluates the early progress of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF), which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 4.5 to 8.8 billion tonnes by 2030. While it notes positive trends such as the inclusion of deforestation targets in the Sustainable Development Goals and increased funding for clean cookstoves, it highlights that overall progress remains slow. Key challenges include the lack of a coordinated effort to reduce non-agricultural deforestation, slow disbursement of REDD+ funds, and ongoing violence against forest-dependent communities.

  • The New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 4.5 to 8.8 billion tonnes by 2030 through ten goals, including halting natural forest loss by 2030 and reducing it by 50% by 2020.
  • Initial assessments show that while the annual rate of natural forest loss globally appears to be decreasing when regrowth is considered as an offset, there is no evidence of a slowdown in annual forest clearing and logging.
  • Progress in eliminating deforestation from agricultural supply chains varies by commodity: 50% of pulpwood forests are certified, sustainable palm oil grew to 18% of the global market, and sustainable soy represents only 2% of the global market, with no data available for beef.
  • Efforts to address deforestation from non-agricultural sectors—primarily infrastructure development, human settlement, and mining—currently lack a coordinated approach.
  • Global distribution of clean and efficient energy stoves nearly doubled annually from 2008 to 2013, with global investment peaking at US$ 260 million in 2014.
  • Forest restoration commitments under the Bonn Challenge since 2011 cover 62.59 million hectares (approximately 42% of the 2020 target), while UNFCCC parties have committed to restoring about 122 million hectares in their INDCs (approximately 41% of the 2030 target).
  • Financial support for reducing emissions from forestry has increased, with Official Development Assistance rising from US$ 200 million in the early 2000s to approximately US$ 1 billion currently. However, the utilization of US$ 1 billion in performance-based REDD+ payments has been slower than scheduled.
  • Despite improvements in forest governance, illegal logging remains prevalent, and forest-dependent communities continue to face violence and land dispute killings.
