Déclaration de New York sur les Forêts

The New York Declaration on Forests is a collective commitment to halt natural forest loss and degradation by 2030, restore 350 million hectares of forest land, and reduce emissions to help limit global warming to 1.5°C.

• Forests are critical for human survival and biodiversity, with approximately 20% of people relying on them for food, water, fuel, medicine, and livelihoods, and nearly 80% of terrestrial biodiversity depending on them. They also serve as a primary climate protection mechanism by absorbing carbon.
• Global deforestation is driven largely by the permanent conversion of forests for commodities—specifically palm oil, soy, paper, and beef products—which account for about half of global deforestation. Other contributors include infrastructure, urban expansion, energy, mining, and in some socio-economic conditions, subsistence agriculture and fuelwood collection.
• The declaration sets several specific targets for 2030, including halting the loss and degradation of natural forests, restoring 350 million hectares of degraded forest land, and reducing emissions from deforestation to help limit global warming to 1.5°C. It also aims for the private sector to stop deforestation caused by agricultural production well before 2030.
• The document emphasizes the necessity of including indigenous peoples, local communities, women, and youth in decision-making processes and solutions to deforestation, while strengthening forest governance, transparency, and the rule of law.
