The report evaluates progress toward the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) and the Paris Agreement, concluding that current efforts are insufficient to end forest loss and greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. It argues that forest mitigation goals are fundamentally conflicted with an economic system based on unlimited production and consumption. To address this, the document outlines six key strategies for governments: strengthening land governance, securing indigenous and local community rights, aligning financial incentives, supporting multi-stakeholder collaboration, improving forest monitoring, and implementing demand-side measures in importing countries.

  • While the Paris Agreement has confirmed the importance of forests in the international climate agenda, overall progress toward ending forest loss and related greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 is inadequate, and emission trends across all sectors are moving in the wrong direction.
  • There are positive indicators of government initiative, including over 50 national-scale REDD+ programs and more than 100 national governments with mature forest monitoring systems, yet these are insufficient to counter the drivers of forest loss.
  • Forest mitigation goals are fundamentally opposed to global economic systems that prioritize unlimited consumption and production, which incentivize the exploitation of forests for minerals, metals, and agricultural land.
  • Many governments have included forests in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, but often lack quantitative targets or rely heavily on international finance.
  • Current financial flows for forest mitigation are a very small fraction of what is required; governments must increase domestic investment and 'green' existing 'grey' financing that negatively impacts forests.
  • Securing the land rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) is essential for forest protection and carbon sequestration, as these groups are disproportionately affected by deforestation.
  • Importing countries must take responsibility for their global forest footprint by implementing due diligence requirements, public procurement policies, and trade agreements aligned with the Paris Agreement to limit the entry of forest-risk commodities.
