Progresso na Declaração de Nova Iorque sobre Florestas

This executive summary evaluates progress toward Goal 10 of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF), focusing on forest governance, the rule of law, and the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities. It concludes that while some progress has been made in transparency and international cooperation, governance improvements are too slow to measurably reduce deforestation, which continues at an alarming rate.

• Global natural forest loss accelerated following the 2014 adoption of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF). Between 2014 and 2017, the average annual rate of natural forest loss was 42% higher than in the previous decade.
• Weak forest governance results in significant economic and ecological losses, with estimated annual costs exceeding USD 17 billion due to tax evasion, loss of ecosystem functions, and conflicts with forest communities caused by commercial agriculture.
• Deforestation is frequently illegal, particularly in areas driven by commercial agriculture. In two-thirds of the top timber-producing countries and all major tropical producers of beef, soy, and palm oil, there is a significant risk that one or more forest-related laws are being violated.
• International cooperation among enforcement agencies has successfully combated illegal timber trade, resulting in the seizure of USD 1.5 billion worth of timber since 2012.
• Emerging Asian economies, specifically China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, and Vietnam, have introduced regulatory demand measures to ban the sale and import of illegally harvested timber, though enforcement mechanisms remain weak.
• Transparency in the forest sector remains low, and corporate reporting on deforestation-free supply chains is often vague or incomplete. While some companies like Nestlé and Unilever have begun sharing supply chain data for palm oil, most corporate information is embedded in sustainability reports, limiting its utility.
• Gender inequality persists in forest governance; women are 24% less likely than men to be actively involved in the decision-making or implementation of REDD+ projects.
• Legal recognition of indigenous and local community land rights is a more effective protection against forest degradation than legally protected areas. Between 2002 and 2017, the share of forest area with legally recognized rights for these groups increased from nearly 11% to over 15% across 41 countries. However, in 14 evaluated countries, between 33% and 39% of lands used by these communities remain unrecognized.
