Kemajuan Deklarasi Hutan New York Melindungi dan Merestorasi Hutan
Summary
The 2019 executive summary reports that the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) is unlikely to meet its 2020 targets, as tropical deforestation continues at an unsustainable rate. While political will for restoration has increased, implementation is slow and often occurs outside natural forests. The report highlights that agricultural expansion remains the primary driver of forest loss, and that current financial and policy interventions are insufficient to catalyze systemic change.
Key insights
- The 2020 targets of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) are nearly impossible to achieve, as tropical deforestation has continued at an unsustainable pace since 2014.
- Agricultural commodity expansion is the leading cause of deforestation, with over 90% of global deforestation linked to agricultural commodities and urbanization in tropical regions.
- Loss of primary tropical rainforests increased by 44% compared to the 2002–2013 baseline, rising from 3.0 to 4.3 million hectares per year.
- Indonesia saw a significant slowdown in primary forest loss in 2017 and 2018, decreasing by more than 30% compared to the 2002–2016 average, though severe forest fires have recurred since 2015.
- Forest restoration efforts are lagging; as of April 2019, only 18% of the 2020 restoration goals (26.7 million hectares since 2000) have been evidenced in forests, despite 170.6 million hectares of combined commitments for 2020 and 2030 via the Bonn Challenge.
- Corporate commitments to eliminate deforestation are stagnating, with only 8% of companies having 'zero deforestation' commitments that cover all operations and supply chains.
- Green financing for forests is insufficient at USD 22 billion, and investments to stop deforestation in tropical countries represent less than 1.5% (USD 3.2 billion) of the USD 256 billion promised by multilateral institutions and donor countries for climate change mitigation since 2010.
- In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, shifting agriculture accounts for 70% of total tree cover loss and affects more than a quarter of forested land.
