RESUMEN EJECUTIVO: EVALUACIÓN DE LA DECLARACIÓN SOBRE LOS BOSQUES DE 2023

This executive summary evaluates global progress toward the 2030 goals of stopping and reversing deforestation and degradation. It highlights a critical gap between current financial investments and the scale of the crisis, noting that while some countries and companies show leadership, global trends remain alarming, with significant losses in primary tropical forests and a lack of transparency in restoration and corporate reporting.

• Global deforestation rates in 2022 remained significantly above the levels required to meet 2030 targets. Gross global deforestation reached 6.6 million hectares, which is 21% higher than the rate needed to eliminate deforestation by 2030. Specifically, the loss of primary tropical forests was 4.1 million hectares, exceeding the necessary rate to stop such losses by 33%.
• There is a severe lack of public funding for forests compared to other global investments. Only 2.2 billion USD in public funds are channeled to forests annually, a sum the document compares to the cost of individual sports stadiums, such as the Tottenham Hotspur stadium (1.1 billion USD) and the Camp Nou renovation (1.6 billion USD).
• Private financial institutions continue to fund high-risk activities. In 2022, private financial institutions allocated 6.1 trillion USD to companies with a high risk of driving tropical deforestation through agricultural commodity production. Most of these institutions lack forest risk policies covering their loans and investments.
• While some regions and countries show progress—such as Indonesia and Malaysia in tropical Asia, and Brazil's 2023 shift toward law enforcement in the Amazon—overall progress is hindered by the 'outsourcing' of raw material production and a systemic lack of transparent data on forest degradation and restoration.
• Indigenous Peoples (PIs) and local communities (CLs) are identified as the most effective forest managers, yet they receive only a fraction of the necessary funding and face ongoing violence and criminalization when protecting their lands.
