Resumo para Formuladores de Políticas: Avaliação da Declaração Florestal de 2024

The 2024 Forest Declaration Assessment finds that the world is far from meeting its 2030 goals to stop deforestation and degradation. In 2023, 6.37 million hectares of forest were permanently lost, with tropical Asia and Africa seeing significant increases. The report highlights that unsustainable production of agricultural commodities and minerals remains the primary driver of loss, often impacting Indigenous Peoples and local communities. While some progress is noted in Brazil and Indonesia, and through new EU regulations like the EUDR, global efforts are hampered by a massive gap between 'green' and 'grey' financing, with trillions in harmful subsidies continuing to incentivize forest destruction.

• Global progress toward 2030 forest goals is insufficient, with 6.37 million hectares of forest permanently lost in 2023. Most tropical regions failed to meet their deforestation targets, with tropical Asia seeing a spike to 1.83 million hectares in 2023.
• Tropical humid primary forests are being destroyed at rates 38% higher than required to stay on track for the 2030 goal. Additionally, forest degradation is widespread; in 2022, 62 million hectares of forest shifted to a lower ecological integrity category.
• Commodity production is the primary driver of global deforestation. Seven agricultural commodities accounted for 57% of all deforestation between 2001 and 2018, while mining volumes in humid tropical forests doubled between 2000 and 2019.
• There is a severe imbalance between sustainable 'green' financing and harmful 'grey' financing. Governments spent only US$ 2.4 billion annually on green forest finance since 2010, compared to up to US$ 1 trillion annually in grey financing.
• Indigenous Peoples and local communities face significant violence and land rights violations. In 2023, 196 land and environmental defenders were killed, and 34% of all environmental conflicts involve Indigenous Peoples.
• While some governance gains were made, such as the EU Nature Restoration Law and increased protected areas in Japan, Bhutan, and Brazil, setbacks occurred in India and Canada regarding forest protection laws and definitions of degradation.
