KEMAJUAN DEKLARASI HUTAN NEW YORK

This executive summary evaluates progress toward Goals 3 and 4 of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF), focusing on reducing deforestation caused by extractive industries and infrastructure, and supporting sustainable livelihoods. The report finds that natural forest loss has increased since 2014, failing the 2020 target of a 50% reduction. While some governments and companies have adopted policies and commitments, progress is hindered by a widespread lack of transparency, weak enforcement, and a continued economic reliance on resource extraction.

• The global community failed to meet the 2020 target for Goal 1 of the New York Declaration on Forests; instead of reducing the rate of natural forest loss by half since 2014, the rate has increased.
• Forests face increasing risks due to the acceleration of large-scale infrastructure development and natural resource extraction in tropical forests, driven by rising demand for minerals, metals, and fossil fuels.
• Government progress is characterized by a gap between policy and implementation. While nearly 18% of global forests are protected areas and many countries have national forest strategies or REDD+ policies, enforcement is often weak, and some environmental protections have been weakened, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Corporate transparency regarding forest impacts remains limited. Although 78% of assessed mining companies committed to stopping biodiversity loss, only 23 out of 225 invited companies disclosed information in 2019 and 2020.
• Grassroots movements, including indigenous peoples and local communities, have successfully used international alliances to delay or cancel large-scale infrastructure projects and have demonstrated the viability of community-based resource management.
• Financial institutions and international donors lack transparency in how they avoid high-forest-risk investments. While REDD+ has mobilized at least 7.6 billion USD in public funds, many programs are still in early stages and funding for poverty alleviation linked to deforestation reduction remains small compared to non-aligned investments.
• Significant barriers to progress include a lack of independent verification of corporate data, power imbalances that marginalize indigenous peoples, and an increase in repression and violence against environmental defenders, particularly in the extractive sector.
