DECLARACIÓN DE NUEVA YORK SOBRE LOS BOSQUES

The report evaluates the five-year progress of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF), concluding that while localized successes exist, global efforts are not on track to meet 2020 and 2030 goals. It identifies eight core lessons, emphasizing that political will, strong governance, and secure land tenure for indigenous peoples are critical for success. The document highlights a significant gap between high-level commitments and ground-level implementation, noting that deforestation has accelerated by up to 44% since 2014. It calls for a paradigm shift in financing, moving from 'grey' to 'green' finance, and a stronger integration of nature-based solutions into national climate agendas.

• Global progress toward NYDF goals is insufficient, with tropical primary forest loss increasing by 44% compared to the 2002-2013 baseline, rising from 3.0 to 4.3 million hectares annually.
• There is a critical disconnect between high-level commitments and actual implementation; many companies are unlikely to meet their 2020 zero-deforestation supply chain goals.
• Strong governance and political will are identified as both the primary enabling conditions and the most significant obstacles to forest protection.
• Land tenure insecurity is a major driver of forest conflict; while indigenous peoples and local communities manage over 50% of the world's land, only 10% of these lands are legally recognized by national laws.
• Current financial flows are heavily skewed toward activities that drive deforestation; since 2010, $777 billion was spent on deforestation-causing activities, compared to only $20 billion for protection and restoration.
• Nature-based solutions are under-valued in economic models, with only 2% of public climate mitigation funding currently allocated to forests and land management.
• The report identifies a systemic failure in supply chain transparency, particularly for beef, palm oil, soy, paper, coffee, cocoa, and rubber, which hinders accountability.
• Indigenous peoples face increasing violence and criminalization while defending their territories, which discourages their participation in forest protection efforts.
