Declaración de Nueva York sobre los Bosques

The New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) is a statement of commitment to end the loss and degradation of natural forests by 2030. It identifies the conversion of forests for commodities—such as soy, palm oil, beef, and paper—as accounting for approximately half of global deforestation. The declaration sets specific targets for the private sector to eliminate deforestation from agricultural production and for the restoration of 350 million hectares of degraded landscapes and forests by 2030. It emphasizes that achieving these goals could reduce over 7 billion tonnes of annual CO2e emissions by 2030 and stresses the central role of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities in forest protection.

• Global forests are critical for biodiversity and climate regulation, housing up to 80% of terrestrial biodiversity and acting as natural carbon sinks, yet an average of 10 million hectares of forest are lost annually.
• Approximately half of global deforestation is caused by the permanent conversion of forests to produce commodities, specifically soy, palm oil, beef, and paper, while infrastructure, urban expansion, energy, and mining further accelerate forest degradation.
• The signatories commit to several specific targets by 2030, including ending the loss and degradation of natural forests, restoring 350 million hectares of degraded landscapes and forests, and reducing emissions from deforestation to align with the 1.5 °C warming limit of the Paris Agreement.
• The document asserts that Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities are the most effective protectors of forests and must be central to the solutions for addressing deforestation.
• Successful implementation of the declaration's results could lead to a reduction of more than 7 billion tonnes of annual CO2e emissions by 2030.
