KEMAJUAN DEKLARASI HUTAN NEW YORK
Summary
The 2020 assessment of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) finds that progress toward reducing deforestation from extractive sectors and infrastructure is slow. Despite some national policies and corporate commitments, a lack of transparency, weak enforcement, and a continued reliance on top-down extractive economic models hinder success. The report emphasizes that ending natural forest loss by 2030 requires a paradigm shift toward valuing forests and supporting community-led sustainable development.
Key insights
- Natural forest loss rates have increased since 2014, failing to meet the NYDF Goal 1 target of reducing the rate by half by 2020.
- Forests face increasing risks from the acceleration of large-scale infrastructure development and natural resource extraction, driven by rising demand for minerals, metals, and fossil fuels.
- While many forest nations have established protected areas—covering nearly 18 percent of global forests—and adopted environmental impact assessments, enforcement is often weak and some protections have been rolled back, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Corporate transparency in the extractive sector remains low; although 78 percent of assessed mining companies committed to stopping biodiversity loss, only 23 out of 225 invited companies disclosed data in 2019 and 2020.
- Indigenous peoples and local communities have successfully used international alliances and legal victories to delay large-scale projects and promote community-based forest management, though they face increasing repression and violence.
- International financial institutions and donors lack transparency regarding forest risks in their investments, and funding for poverty alleviation linked to deforestation reduction is minimal compared to non-aligned investments.
- The REDD+ initiative has mobilized at least 7.6 billion USD in public funds, but many programs remain in early stages due to capacity constraints and restrictive donor conditions.
