Évaluation de la Déclaration sur les forêts 2025

The 2025 Forest Declaration Assessment reports that global forests remain in crisis, with 8.07 million hectares lost in 2024 and a 63% gap relative to the 2030 zero-deforestation goal. While some national reforms in Brazil, Colombia, and Indonesia show promise, corporate action remains largely insufficient, and public finance for forests is dwarfed by harmful agricultural subsidies. The report emphasizes that current voluntary corporate commitments are inadequate and calls for mandatory regulations, inclusive governance for indigenous peoples, and a fundamental shift in the global financial system to prioritize forest stability over extractive production.

• Global forests continued to deteriorate in 2024, with 8.07 million hectares lost, leaving the world 63% behind its 2030 zero-deforestation target. Primary tropical forests were particularly affected, losing 6.73 million hectares and emitting 3.1 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases.
• Forest degradation is accelerating and remains a monitoring blind spot; in 2024, 8.8 million hectares of humid tropical forests were degraded, more than double the annual level required to stop degradation by 2030. The Amazon basin was notably impacted by fire-induced degradation.
• Corporate action against deforestation is largely insufficient, with only 3% of companies evaluated by Forest 500 meeting expectations for firm commitments. On average, these 500 large companies met only 16.2% of criteria for implementation and reporting of zero-deforestation commitments in 2024.
• International public financing for forests increased to approximately 5.7 billion USD (2022-2024) from 1.7 billion USD (2018-2020), yet this represents only 1.4% of the 409 billion USD spent annually on environmentally harmful agricultural subsidies.
• Funding for the land rights of indigenous peoples, Afro-descendants, and local communities averaged 728 million USD annually between 2021 and 2024, which is significantly below the 10 billion USD target set by civil society for 2030.
• Forest governance is compromised by power imbalances and illegality, with estimates suggesting 61% to 94% of tropical deforestation for agricultural purposes is illegal. Environmental crimes, including illegal logging and wildlife trafficking, generate up to 281 billion USD annually.
