The 2022 Forest Declaration Assessment finds that no global indicator is currently on track to meet the 2030 targets for stopping forest loss and restoring 350 million hectares of ecosystems. While Tropical Asia is the only region on track to stop deforestation by 2030, global forest loss still exceeds gains, resulting in a net loss of 100 million hectares. The report highlights critical gaps in sustainable production, where commodity-driven tree cover loss decreased by only 6% in 2021, and in finance, where current annual funding of $2.3 billion is less than 1% of the estimated $460 billion needed. Governance remains a significant hurdle, with at least 50% of lands held by Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) lacking legal recognition. The document calls for a shift from voluntary corporate actions to mandatory regulations, a 200-fold increase in forest funding, and the strengthening of land tenure rights for IPLCs.

  • No global indicator is currently on track to meet the 2030 targets of ending forest loss and restoring 350 million hectares of forest ecosystems. To stop deforestation by 2030, a 10% annual reduction is required, but the global rate decreased by only 6.3% in 2021 compared to the 2018-2020 reference period.
  • Tropical Asia is the only region currently on track to stop deforestation by 2030. In contrast, reductions in Tropical Africa and Tropical Latin America in 2021 were insufficient to meet the 2030 goals.
  • Global forest cover has seen a net loss of 100 million hectares, as overall losses exceeded gains from afforestation and reforestation, despite 36 countries experiencing net gains in forest cover.
  • The private sector is not on track to eliminate deforestation from agricultural supply chains by 2025. Commodity-driven tree cover loss fell by 6% in 2021 compared to 2018-2020, but remains higher than any year before 2016 and far from the required 20% annual reduction trajectory.
  • There is a massive funding gap for forest protection and restoration. While the global scale of investment needed is estimated at $460 billion per year, current domestic and international mitigation funding averages only $2.3 billion annually, representing less than 1% of the requirement.
  • Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) are severely underfunded and lack legal security. Only 1.4% of total public climate finance in 2019-2020 was targeted toward IPLC needs, and at least 50% of lands held by IPLCs remain legally unrecognized.
  • Forest governance remains weak, though some countries have seen success with tools like moratoria and strengthened enforcement. Examples of significant deforestation reductions include Indonesia, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Guyana, and Brazil, although some gains, particularly in Brazil, have been reversed.
