PROGRESSO DA DECLARAÇÃO DE NOVA YORK SOBRE FLORESTAS

The 2020 NYDF progress assessment finds that natural forest loss has increased since 2014, with infrastructure and extractive industries posing growing threats. While some governments and companies have adopted sustainability policies, implementation is slow, transparency is limited, and environmental protections are being reversed in some regions. The report highlights a significant power imbalance that marginalizes indigenous peoples and local communities, and notes that financial flows for poverty reduction and deforestation prevention remain minimal compared to non-forest-aligned investments.

• Natural forest loss has increased since 2014, contradicting the NYDF goal to halve the rate of loss.
• Infrastructure development and extractive industries are increasing in tropical forest regions, driven by rising demand for fossil fuels, metals, and ores.
• Government progress is hindered by slow implementation of policies, a lack of political will, and the reversal of environmental protections, some of which were accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Corporate transparency in the extractive sector remains very low; only 23 out of 225 invited companies disclosed data in 2019 and 2020.
• Indigenous peoples and local communities have successfully used international alliances to delay or cancel large-scale projects and have demonstrated the viability of community-led forest management.
• Financial institutions and donors lack transparency regarding high-forest-risk investments, and funding for poverty reduction and deforestation prevention is minimal compared to non-aligned investments.
• The extractive sector is linked to significant environmental conflicts and was associated with the highest number of environmental defender murders in 2019.
• REDD+ initiatives have mobilized at least US$ 7.6 billion in public funding, but many programs remain in early stages due to complex reforms and donor-imposed conditions.
