Evaluación de la Declaración sobre los Bosques

The 2022 Forest Declaration Assessment finds that the world is not on track to meet its 2030 forest goals. While some regional progress exists, global deforestation rates decreased only modestly in 2021, and financial investments for forest protection remain less than 1% of the required annual amount. The report highlights a critical gap between ambitious government pledges and actual policy implementation, noting that voluntary corporate commitments have failed to significantly alter the trajectory of forest loss. It emphasizes the vital but underfunded role of Indigenous peoples and local communities in forest stewardship and calls for a radical transformation in economic flows, governance, and legal mandates to avoid catastrophic climate and biodiversity loss.

• Global indicators show the world is not on track to stop forest loss and degradation or restore 350 million hectares of landscapes by 2030. To reach the goal of zero deforestation by 2030, an annual reduction of 10% is required, but global rates decreased by only 6.3% in 2021 compared to the 2018-20 baseline.
• Tropical Asia is the only region currently on track to stop deforestation by 2030, while reductions in Latin American and African tropics remain insufficient.
• The private sector is failing to meet the 2025 goal of eliminating deforestation from agricultural supply chains. Only 25% of the world's leading companies in the sector have clear, comprehensive, and ambitious policies to end deforestation in their supply chains.
• There is a massive funding gap for forest protection and restoration. While the estimated annual cost is up to $460 billion, current national and international funding for forest mitigation averages $2.3 billion per year, which is less than 1% of the total needed.
• Indigenous peoples and local communities are the most effective forest stewards but are severely underfunded. Only 1.4% of total public climate finance in 2019-20 was directed toward their needs, and only 3% of their annual financial needs for transformational reform are being met.
• Forest governance remains insufficient to meet 2030 targets. While some countries like Indonesia, Ghana, and Brazil saw reductions using tools like moratoria and law enforcement, some of these gains have been reversed, particularly in Brazil.
• Land tenure insecurity persists, with at least 50% of lands and territories held by Indigenous peoples and local communities lacking legal recognition.
