Declaración de Nueva York sobre los Bosques

The New York Declaration on Forests establishes a global framework to reduce natural forest loss by half by 2020 and end it by 2030. It targets the elimination of deforestation in commodity production (soy, palm oil, beef, and paper) and sets ambitious restoration goals for degraded lands. The declaration emphasizes the role of forests in sequestering carbon, supporting 1.6 billion people, and protecting 80% of terrestrial biodiversity, estimating that achieving these goals could reduce annual emissions by 4.5 to 8.8 billion tonnes by 2030.

• Forests are critical for human survival and biodiversity, supporting over 1.6 billion people and housing approximately 80% of terrestrial biodiversity, yet an average of 13 million hectares of forest are lost annually.
• Commodity production—specifically soy, palm oil, beef, and paper—accounts for roughly half of global deforestation, with other contributors including infrastructure, urban expansion, energy, mining, and fuelwood collection.
• The declaration sets specific quantitative targets for forest loss and restoration: reducing the rate of natural forest loss by at least half by 2020 and ending it by 2030, while restoring 150 million hectares of degraded land by 2020 and at least 200 million additional hectares by 2030.
• The agreement aims to align forest management with global climate goals to limit warming to 2°C, estimating that the successful implementation of these results could reduce annual emissions by 4.5 to 8.8 billion tonnes by 2030.
• The framework emphasizes the necessity of strengthening forest governance, transparency, and the rule of law, specifically recognizing the land and resource rights of indigenous peoples.
