FLORESTAS EM FOCO

The document outlines the objectives of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDf), noting that the 2020 goal to halve deforestation was not met. It identifies key drivers of forest loss, including agricultural commodities and extractive industries, while highlighting the role of financial institutions and the importance of indigenous peoples in forest conservation. Despite challenges, it notes progress through the Paris Agreement and demand-side measures in major consumer markets.

• The New York Declaration on Forests (NYDf), established in 2014 by governments, companies, indigenous groups, and civil society, failed to meet its target of reducing deforestation by half by 2020.
• Global forest loss is estimated at 10 million hectares per year, an area comparable to Iceland.
• Seven specific agricultural commodities—cattle, palm oil, soy, cocoa, rubber, coffee, and wood fiber—are responsible for more than half of all tree cover loss.
• Financial institutions are a significant barrier to forest protection, with nearly two-thirds of the 150 largest financial institutions lacking deforestation policies despite channeling trillions of dollars to high-forest-risk companies.
• Extractive industries significantly impact intact tropical forests, with nearly 20% of these landscapes overlapping with mining, oil, and gas concessions.
