Declaração de Nova York sobre Florestas

The New York Declaration on Forests outlines goals to halve the rate of natural forest loss by 2020 and end it by 2030, while restoring hundreds of millions of hectares of degraded land. It emphasizes the role of forests in sequestering carbon to limit global warming to 2°C and targets the elimination of deforestation driven by commodity production such as soy, palm oil, and cattle.

• Forests are critical for climate preservation and biodiversity, supporting 80% of terrestrial biodiversity and providing essential resources for over 1.6 billion people, yet approximately 13 million hectares are lost annually.
• Commodity production—specifically soy, palm oil, livestock, and paper—accounts for an average of half of global deforestation.
• The declaration sets specific time-bound targets: reducing the rate of natural forest loss by at least half by 2020 and striving to end such loss by 2030.
• The agreement targets the restoration of 150 million hectares of degraded forest areas by 2020, with a further goal of recovering at least 200 million hectares by 2030.
• Achieving these objectives is estimated to reduce emissions by between 4.5 and 8.8 billion tonnes per year by 2030, supporting the goal of limiting global warming to 2°C.
