AVALIAÇÃO DO PROGRESSO DA DECLARAÇÃO DE NOVA IORQUE SOBRE FLORESTAS

This October 2021 report evaluates progress toward Goal 7 of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF), focusing on national climate actions for forests. While it acknowledges that the Paris Agreement confirmed the role of forests in the international climate agenda, the report concludes that current efforts are insufficient to end forest loss and associated greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. It provides a comprehensive set of recommendations for governments to improve forest climate mitigation through six key strategies: strengthening land-use governance, securing Indigenous peoples and local communities' rights, aligning financial incentives, promoting multi-stakeholder collaboration, ensuring robust monitoring, and expanding demand-side measures for forest-risk commodities.

• The report concludes that while Goal 7 of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) was achieved via the Paris Agreement's recognition of forests, overall progress toward ending forest loss by 2030 is insufficient. Current emission trends across all sectors, including forests, are moving in the wrong direction, and the reductions required to meet the 2030 goal are described as highly improbable in the short term.
• Governments have shown some progress in forest mitigation, with over 50 national-scale REDD+ programs and more than 100 national governments implementing robust forest monitoring systems. Additionally, some major consumers of forest-risk commodities have introduced legislation to control the import of products resulting from deforestation.
• Forest mitigation goals are fundamentally hindered by a global economic system based on infinite production and consumption. This system drives the exploitation of forests for minerals, metals, and agricultural land, benefiting wealthy populations in the Global North and emerging middle classes while pushing poor populations and vulnerable local communities further into forests or urban centers.
• The report identifies a lack of quantitative forest mitigation targets within many Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. It recommends that countries establish specific, measurable, and time-bound forest goals and conduct research to identify viable mitigation potential using both national and global spatial data.
• Current financial flows for forest mitigation are described as a tiny fraction of what is required. The report urges governments to 'green' gray financing by reforming subsidies that encourage deforestation and requiring public and private financial agents to disclose forest risks associated with investments in infrastructure, mining, and commodities.
• The report emphasizes that recognizing and securing the land rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (PICLs) is central to climate mitigation. It recommends prioritizing the titling of customary lands and implementing Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) processes to protect these communities from violence and illegal activities.
• To address the drivers of deforestation, the report suggests that importing governments must take shared responsibility for their global forest footprints. Recommended actions include restricting the entry of products caused by deforestation, implementing public procurement policies that exclude illegal commodities, and aligning free trade agreements with Paris Agreement goals.
