The October 2022 Executive Summary of the Forest Declaration Assessment evaluates global progress toward the 2030 goals of ending natural forest loss and degradation and restoring 350 million hectares of degraded forest land. The report concludes that no global indicator is currently on track to meet these targets, highlighting significant gaps in financing, corporate accountability, and governance.

  • Global progress toward 2030 forest goals is insufficient, with no single global indicator on track to stop forest loss or restore 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. While deforestation rates in Tropical Africa and Tropical Latin America decreased in 2021 relative to 2018-2020, these reductions are inadequate to meet the 2030 targets.
  • 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 this is far below the 20% annual reduction needed. Only 25% of large global companies in the sector have clear, comprehensive, and ambitious policies to remove deforestation from their supply chains.
  • There is a massive gap in forest financing. Protecting, restoring, and enhancing forests globally requires an estimated 460 billion USD annually, yet current domestic and international mitigation financing averages only 2.3 billion USD per year, which is less than 1% of the total needed.
  • Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) are severely underfunded despite being effective forest stewards. Only 1.4% of total public climate finance in 2019-2020 was targeted toward IPLC needs, and only 3% of the annual financing required for transformational land tenure reform is met.
  • Forest governance remains weak and insufficient to limit deforestation. While some countries saw reductions in deforestation since 2004 due to tools like moratoria and strengthened enforcement, these gains have been reversed in some places, notably Brazil. Additionally, at least 50% of lands held by IPLCs remain legally unrecognized.
