DECLARAÇÃO DE NOVA YORK SOBRE FLORESTAS (NYDF) RELATÓRIO DE PERSPECTIVAS DOS SIGNATÁRIOS

The report finds that despite widespread commitments, global progress toward the NYDF goals is insufficient, with tropical deforestation increasing by 44% since 2014. Through consultations with 84 signatories, the document identifies eight key lessons, emphasizing that high-level political will, secure land tenure for indigenous peoples, and a shift from 'grey' to 'green' finance are critical for success. While some localized successes in REDD+ and sustainable supply chains are noted, systemic barriers—including corruption, lack of transparency in agricultural commodities, and the criminalization of forest defenders—continue to hinder large-scale implementation.

• Global forest loss has worsened since the 2014 signing of the NYDF, with tropical deforestation increasing by 44%. The annual loss of forest area is now equivalent to the size of the United Kingdom, which equals the total 2017 emissions of the European Union.
• The implementation of 'zero deforestation' commitments by governments and companies is slow due to systemic barriers. These include distorted forest valuation based on short-term profit, continued subsidies for deforestation, and a lack of alignment between high-level commitments and operational institutional frameworks.
• Strong governance and political will are identified as both the primary enabling conditions and the primary barriers to progress. Weak rule of law, corruption, and the lack of policy continuity during government transitions significantly hinder forest protection.
• Secure land tenure is a fundamental prerequisite for sustainable forest management and conflict resolution. Indigenous peoples and local communities manage a quarter of the world's natural carbon reserve and over 50% of the world's land, yet much of this is not formally recognized by national laws.
• There is a severe imbalance in financial flows: since 2010, the world spent US$ 777 billion on drivers of forest loss compared to only US$ 20 billion on protection, restoration, and sustainable development. Only 2% of climate mitigation funding is currently directed toward forest conservation.
• Corporate signatories face significant technical challenges in tracking and reporting complex supply chains, particularly for commodities like beef, palm oil, soy, paper, coffee, cocoa, and rubber. Many companies cite concerns over competitiveness and reputation as barriers to full data transparency.
• Indigenous peoples and local communities face increasing violence, criminalization, and land invasions. They advocate for the implementation of Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) and a shift in the narrative to view forests as 'forests for life' rather than 'forests for profit'.
