Penilaian Deklarasi Hutan 2025
Summary
The 2025 Forest Declaration Assessment executive summary reports that global forests remain in crisis, with deforestation and degradation continuing at high levels despite international commitments. The document highlights a systemic failure to meet 2030 goals, driven by agricultural expansion and poor governance, while noting that current funding and corporate actions are insufficient to reverse the trend.
Key insights
- Global forests continue to face severe destruction, with approximately 8.1 million hectares lost permanently in 2024. Tropical forests were particularly affected, losing about 6.73 million hectares, which released 3.1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases. Destruction in Key Biodiversity Areas rose by 47% from the previous year, totaling 2.2 million hectares.
- Deforestation is primarily driven by permanent agriculture, accounting for an average of 86% of global deforestation over the last decade. Additionally, forest degradation is increasing; in 2024, 8.8 million hectares of tropical moist forests were degraded, which is more than double the annual rate required to stop degradation by 2030. The Amazon Basin is specifically noted for degradation caused by burning.
- Corporate action remains largely insufficient, with only 3% of companies assessed by Forest 500 meeting expectations for strong deforestation commitments. In 2024, these 500 large companies met an average of only 16.2% of the criteria for implementing deforestation-free commitments, and 34% made no public commitments at all.
- International public funding for forests increased to approximately US$5.7 billion (Rp94 trillion) for 2022-24, up from US$1.7 billion (Rp28 trillion) in 2018-20. However, this is only 1.4% of the US$409 billion (Rp6.700 trillion) allocated annually for environmentally harmful agricultural subsidies. Funding for land rights for Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant peoples, and local communities averaged US$728 million (Rp12 trillion) per year from 2021-24, falling short of the US$10 billion target for 2030.
- Governance is hindered by power imbalances and weak law enforcement. Between 61% and 94% of tropical deforestation for agriculture is estimated to be illegal. Environmental crimes, including illegal deforestation and wildlife trade, generate annual profits of US$281 billion (Rp4.600 trillion).
