  • The world is not on track to meet the 2030 goals of halting forest loss and degradation or restoring 350 million hectares of forest landscape, as no single global indicator is currently meeting the required trajectory.
  • To completely stop deforestation by 2030, an annual reduction of 10% is required; however, global deforestation rates in 2021 fell by only 6.3% compared to the 2018-2020 baseline, and irreplaceable primary forest loss in humid tropics decreased by only 3.1%.
  • Tropical Asia is the only region currently on track to stop deforestation by 2030, while reductions in Tropical Latin America and Africa remain insufficient.
  • The private sector is not on track to eliminate deforestation from agricultural supply chains by 2025; commodity-driven tree cover loss decreased by 6% in 2021 relative to 2018-2020, but this is far from the 20% annual reduction needed.
  • Global forest finance is severely underfunded, with current national and international mitigation finance averaging US$ 2.3 billion per year—less than 1% of the estimated US$ 460 billion needed annually to protect and restore forests at scale.
  • Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPs and CLs) are severely underfunded, receiving only 1.4% of total public climate finance in 2019-2020, and at least 50% of their lands and territories remain legally unrecognized.
  • Forest governance remains insufficient to stop deforestation, although tools like moratoria and enhanced enforcement have historically worked in countries such as Indonesia, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Guyana, and Brazil, though some gains in Brazil have been reversed.
