The 2022 Forest Declaration Assessment finds that no global indicator is currently on track to meet the 2030 goals of halting forest loss and degradation or restoring 350 million hectares of landscape. While Tropical Asia is the only region on track to stop deforestation, global primary forest loss decreased by only 3.1% in humid tropics. Financial investment for forests is critically insufficient, with current mitigation funding at US$ 2.3 billion per year—less than 1% of the estimated US$ 460 billion needed annually. Corporate action to eliminate deforestation from agricultural supply chains by 2025 is lagging, and governance remains weak, with at least 50% of lands occupied by Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPCs and LCs) lacking legal recognition.

  • No global indicator is currently on track to meet the 2030 targets of halting forest loss and degradation or restoring 350 million hectares of forest landscape.
  • To completely stop deforestation by 2030, a 10% annual reduction is required; however, global deforestation rates fell by only 6.3% in 2021 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, but rates remain higher than any year prior to 2016.
  • Global forest finance is severely underfunded, with current annual mitigation funding of US$ 2.3 billion representing less than 1% of the estimated US$ 460 billion needed annually to protect and restore forests.
  • Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPCs and LCs) are severely underfunded, receiving only 1.4% of total public climate finance in 2019-2020, and at least 50% of their occupied lands and territories still lack legal recognition.
  • Forest governance remains insufficient to stop deforestation, though tools like moratoria and transparency have historically worked in countries such as Indonesia, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Guyana, and Brazil, though some gains in Brazil have been reversed.
  • The voluntary carbon market saw a significant increase in demand, with the volume of traded credits growing 89% in 2021, though the average price of forest carbon credits (US$ 4.7 to US$ 15 per tonne of CO2) remains too low to meet the 1.5 °C Paris Agreement goal.
