The report concludes that while the Paris Agreement has confirmed the role of forests in the international climate agenda, global efforts remain insufficient to stop deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. It argues that current economic systems, driven by infinite production and consumption, contradict climate goals. To address this, the report proposes six core strategies: strengthening land governance, securing indigenous and local community rights, aligning fiscal incentives with mitigation, promoting multi-stakeholder collaboration, ensuring reliable forest monitoring, and implementing demand-side measures in importing countries.

• Goal 7 of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) has been achieved because the Paris Agreement formally recognized the critical role of forests in the global climate agenda.
• Despite some progress, such as the creation of over 50 national REDD+ programs and the establishment of robust monitoring systems by over a hundred governments, overall efforts are insufficient to meet 2030 targets for ending deforestation and associated greenhouse gas emissions.
• Forest mitigation goals are fundamentally undermined by a global economic system based on infinite production and consumption, which drives the exploitation of forests for minerals, metals, and agricultural land.
• Many governments lack quantitative forest mitigation targets in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, and those that exist are often not ambitious enough or are conditional on international funding.
• Current financial flows for forest mitigation are a tiny fraction of what is required; governments must increase national investment and reform 'grey' finance (subsidies with negative forest impacts) to make it 'green'.
• Securing the land rights of indigenous peoples and local communities is a critical mitigation strategy, as these groups traditionally protect forests, yet they are disproportionately affected by deforestation.
• Importing countries have a shared responsibility to reduce their global forest footprints by implementing due diligence requirements, restricting products linked to deforestation, and aligning free trade agreements with the Paris Agreement.
