PROGRESSO DA DECLARAÇÃO DE NOVA YORK SOBRE FLORESTAS

This executive summary from the NYDF Assessment Partners evaluates progress toward Goals 3 and 4 of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF), focusing on reducing deforestation from infrastructure and extractive industries while promoting sustainable livelihoods. The report finds that natural forest loss has increased since 2014, and progress toward these goals is slow due to systemic barriers, lack of transparency, and a continued global economic reliance on resource extraction.

• Since 2014, the rate of natural forest loss has increased rather than decreasing by half as intended, necessitating a paradigm shift to prioritize forest protection and value forests for their essential benefits to meet 2030 goals.
• Large-scale infrastructure development and natural resource extraction are increasing in tropical forest regions, driven by growing demand for fossil fuels, metals, and minerals, which threatens high-biodiversity forests.
• While nearly 18% of global forests are protected areas and many countries have developed national forest strategies, implementation is slow and some environmental protections are being reversed, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Corporate transparency in the extractive sector remains very low; for example, only 23 out of 225 companies invited to disclose data in 2019 and 2020 did so, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of biodiversity commitments.
• Indigenous peoples and local communities have successfully used international alliances to delay or cancel large-scale infrastructure projects and have demonstrated that community-led forest management increases autonomy and reduces deforestation.
• Financial institutions and donors lack transparency regarding high-forest-risk investments, and funding for poverty reduction linked to deforestation is minimal compared to non-forest-aligned investments, despite REDD+ mobilizing at least US$ 7.6 billion in public funding.
• The extractive sector is linked to a high number of environmental conflicts and was associated with the highest number of murders of environmental defenders in 2019.
