Summary
The 2022 Forest Declaration Assessment is a civil society-led independent evaluation of progress toward global goals to stop deforestation and restore 350 million hectares of degraded land by 2030. The report concludes that the world is not currently on track to meet these targets, highlighting significant gaps in funding, governance, and corporate action across the agricultural, extractive, and infrastructure sectors.
Key insights
- Tropical Asia is currently the only region on track to stop deforestation by 2030. In contrast, while deforestation rates in tropical Latin America and Africa decreased in 2021 relative to the 2018-20 baseline, the reductions remain insufficient to meet the 2030 target.
- There is a massive funding gap for forest protection and restoration. While an estimated $460 billion is needed annually, current domestic and international mitigation funding averages only $2.3 billion per year, which is less than 1% of the required total. To meet 2030 goals, funding needs to increase by up to 200 times.
