Declaración de Nueva York sobre los Bosques

The New York Declaration on Forests is a collective commitment by signatories to slow, stop, and reverse global forest loss by 2030. The document outlines the critical role of forests in biodiversity and climate protection, identifies primary drivers of deforestation, and sets specific targets for forest restoration and emission reductions to limit global warming to 1.5 °C.

• Forests are vital for human survival and the environment, supporting food, water, and medicine, while hosting up to 80% of terrestrial biodiversity and acting as natural carbon sinks. However, an average of 10 million hectares of forest are lost annually, with approximately half of global deforestation caused by the permanent conversion of forests for commodities such as soy, palm oil, beef, and paper.
• The signatories commit to several specific targets to be achieved by 2030, including ending the loss and degradation of natural forests and restoring and maintaining 350 million hectares of degraded forests and landscapes. They also aim to eliminate deforestation from agricultural production and significantly reduce deforestation caused by extractive industries and infrastructure development well before 2030.
• Reducing emissions from deforestation and increasing forest restoration are described as essential for limiting global warming to 1.5 °C. Achieving the goals of the declaration could reduce annual emissions by more than 7 billion tonnes of CO2e by 2030.
• The document emphasizes that strong forest governance and the central involvement of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities, as well as traditional knowledge, are essential for protecting and sustainably managing the world's forests.
