This report by the Forest Declaration Assessment evaluates national actions for climate mitigation in the forestry sector, specifically regarding Goal 7 of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF). It argues that while some progress has been made in monitoring and policy formation, current efforts are insufficient to end forest loss and greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The document provides a comprehensive set of recommendations for governments to increase ambition, align financing, and implement six core strategies to protect and restore forests.

• The New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) Goal 7 has been achieved in that the Paris Agreement has confirmed the essential role of forests in the international climate agenda. However, overall progress toward ending forest loss and related greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 is inadequate, and emission trends across all sectors, including forestry, 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. Despite this, these initiatives are undermined by an economic system based on unlimited production and consumption, where forests are exploited for minerals, metals, and agricultural land to benefit wealthy populations in the Global North and new elites in developing nations.
• Many governments have included forests in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, but often lack quantitative targets. The report recommends that countries set specific, measurable, and time-bound forestry targets within their NDCs and utilize Articles 6.2 and 6.8 of the Paris Agreement for bilateral or non-market cooperation to accelerate mitigation.
• Current financial flows for forest mitigation are a small fraction of what is required. Governments are urged to 'green' grey financing by reforming subsidies that drive deforestation and requiring both public and private financial actors to disclose forest risks and benefits for investments in infrastructure, mining, and high-risk commodities.
• The report outlines six essential strategies for governments to implement: strengthening land and forest governance; securing the rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs); aligning incentives with mitigation goals; supporting multi-stakeholder collaboration via jurisdictional approaches; ensuring mature forest accounting and monitoring; and expanding demand-side actions for governments importing forest-risk commodities.
• Securing the land rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) is identified as a critical mitigation tool. The report recommends that governments prioritize the registration and certification of indigenous lands, enforce Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), and repeal legislation that undermines IPLC rights.
• Consumer nations importing forest-risk commodities should integrate their global forest footprint into their NDCs. Recommended actions include implementing due diligence requirements to block products causing deforestation, adopting public procurement policies that limit illegal commodities, and aligning free trade agreements with the Paris Agreement.
