Declaração de Nova Iorque sobre Florestas

The New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) establishes a framework for global action to end natural forest loss and degradation by 2030. It identifies commodity-driven deforestation as a primary driver and emphasizes the central role of indigenous peoples and local communities in forest protection. The declaration sets specific targets for the private sector to eliminate deforestation from commodity production and aims to restore 350 million hectares of degraded landscapes. Achieving these goals is presented as a critical component of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, with a potential mitigation impact of over 7 billion tonnes of CO2e per year by 2030.

• Global forests maintain 80% of terrestrial biodiversity and are critical for climate preservation through carbon sequestration and storage, yet approximately 10 million hectares are lost annually.
• Deforestation is primarily driven by commodity cultivation—specifically soy, palm oil, livestock, and paper—which accounts for an average of half of global deforestation, alongside infrastructure, urban expansion, energy, and mining.
• The declaration sets several specific targets for 2030, including the total cessation of natural forest loss and degradation, the restoration of 350 million hectares of degraded landscapes and forests, and the elimination of deforestation from agricultural commodity production by the private sector.
• Forest preservation is identified as one of the most cost-effective climate solutions available to limit global warming to 1.5°C, with the potential to mitigate over 7 billion tonnes of CO2e annually by 2030.
• The document asserts that centering indigenous peoples, local communities, and traditional knowledge is essential for achieving NYDF goals, as these groups are the primary defenders of forests.
