Progrès suite à la Déclaration de New York sur les forêts

The report finds that while some progress has been made in forest transparency and the adoption of demand-side regulations, overall improvements in forest governance are too slow to effectively reduce deforestation. It highlights critical failures in granting land rights to indigenous peoples and local communities, rising violence against land defenders, and endemic corruption. The document emphasizes that strong governance is a necessary condition for forest protection, noting that illegal deforestation remains prevalent in major producers of palm oil, soy, and beef.

• Forest governance improvements are insufficient to curb deforestation, with the average annual rate of natural forest loss between 2014 and 2017 being 42% higher than the previous decade.
• Illegal deforestation is widespread, particularly in the two-thirds of the largest timber-producing countries and all major tropical producers of beef, soy, and palm oil.
• Corruption remains endemic and largely unchanged over the last five years, often undermining strict forest laws through poor enforcement and financial mismanagement of forest revenues.
• Emerging economies in Asia, including China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, and Vietnam, have introduced demand-side regulations banning the import and sale of illegally harvested timber, though enforcement mechanisms remain weak.
• Transparency in the forest sector remains low; while some countries like Colombia have proactive data systems, many governments restrict information based on 'national interest' and private companies often provide vague or incomplete supply chain data.
• Women face significant barriers to participation in forest decision-making, being 24% less likely than men to be actively involved in REDD+ projects.
• Legal recognition of land rights for indigenous peoples and local communities increased from 11% in 2002 to 17% in 2017 across 41 countries, yet 33-39% of their occupied lands remain unrecognized in 14 evaluated countries.
• Violence against land and forest defenders has increased annually since 2014, driven by land demand, lack of land tenure recognition, and failure to respect the principle of free, prior and informed consent.
