Avanços da Declaração de Nova Iorque sobre Florestas

This executive summary, published in November 2015 by Climate Focus and partners, establishes a monitoring framework and provides an initial assessment of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF). Signed in September 2014, the NYDF consists of ten goals aimed at reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by 4.5-8.8 billion tonnes by 2030. The document reports that while new initiatives and commitments have emerged in the year following the declaration, overall progress remains slow.

• The New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) aims to reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 4.5-8.8 billion tonnes by 2030 through ten endorsed goals.
• Goal 1 of the NYDF seeks to eliminate natural forest loss by 2030, with a target of a 50% reduction by 2020. Initial assessments indicate that while global annual natural forest loss may be decreasing when accounting for regrowth, there are no signs that the annual rate of deforestation or cutting of natural forests is reducing.
• Regarding Goal 2 (eliminating deforestation from agricultural commodity supply chains), certified sustainable production for wood fiber for paper covers half of the forests, and certified sustainable palm oil grew by 18% in the global market. However, certified sustainable soy represents only 2% of the global market, and no information is available for meat production.
• Progress on Goal 4 (alternatives to deforestation caused by basic needs) is highlighted by the rapid acceleration of clean stove distribution, which nearly doubled annually between 2008 and 2013, with global investments peaking at USD 260 million in 2014.
• For Goal 5 (restoring degraded forest areas), commitments under the Bonn Challenge since 2011 total 62.59 million hectares, representing approximately 42% of the 2020 goal. Additionally, parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change committed to restoring, reforesting, or afforesting about 122 million hectares in their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), which is roughly 41% of the 2030 goal of 300 million hectares.
• Financial support for forest emission reductions (Goal 8) saw bilateral Official Development Assistance (ODA) to developing countries grow from an annual average of USD 365 million (2002-07) to USD 744 million (2008-13). Between 2008 and 2014, over USD 3 billion was committed for performance-based REDD+ payments, though actual disbursements were just above USD 1 million.
• Regarding Goal 10 (forest governance and indigenous rights), the proportion of total lands with recognized rights for indigenous peoples and local communities has grown by more than one-third since 2002, although the rate of recognition has declined in recent years. Forest communities still face threats of violence and land dispute deaths.
