The document reports that the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) failed to meet its 2020 target of halving deforestation, with 10 million hectares of forest lost annually. It identifies drivers of loss including commodity agriculture, extractive industries, and a lack of deforestation policies in nearly two-thirds of the top 150 financial institutions. While noting progress through the Paris Agreement and demand-side measures in markets like the EU, US, UK, and China, it emphasizes the need for alternative development pathways and the inclusion of Indigenous peoples as forest stewards.

The New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) is a statement of commitment to protect global forests, citing their role in supporting 80% of terrestrial biodiversity and absorbing carbon. The declaration sets specific targets for 2030, including halting natural forest loss, restoring 350 million hectares of degraded land, and reducing emissions in line with the Paris Agreement. It emphasizes the necessity of including indigenous peoples and local communities in governance and solutions to achieve these goals, which could mitigate 7.8 to 11.0 billion tonnes of CO2e annually by 2030.

The document outlines the objectives of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDf), noting that the 2020 target to halve deforestation was not met. It identifies drivers of forest loss, such as global commodity demand and extractive industries, while highlighting the role of financial institutions and the necessity of empowering Indigenous peoples and local communities to achieve climate solutions.

The document outlines the objectives of the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF), noting that the goal to halve deforestation by 2020 was not met. It identifies key drivers of forest loss, such as large-scale infrastructure, extractive industries, and specific agricultural commodities, while highlighting the role of indigenous peoples as forest guardians. The text calls for urgent systemic change, increased financial transparency, and the implementation of alternative development models to protect forests as a climate solution.

The New York Declaration on Forests establishes a series of global targets to reduce natural forest loss by half by 2020 and end it by 2030, alongside goals for reforestation and the elimination of deforestation from commodity production.

The New York Declaration on Forests outlines goals to halve the rate of natural forest loss by 2020 and end it by 2030, while restoring hundreds of millions of hectares of degraded land. It emphasizes the role of forests in sequestering carbon to limit global warming to 2°C and targets the elimination of deforestation driven by commodity production such as soy, palm oil, and cattle.

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.

The New York Declaration on Forests outlines a global strategy to halve the rate of natural forest loss by 2020 and end it by 2030, while restoring 350 million hectares of land by 2030. It identifies commodity production—specifically soy, palm oil, beef, and paper—as accounting for roughly half of global deforestation and argues that forest conservation is a cost-effective solution for limiting global warming to 2°C. The declaration commits to reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, strengthening forest governance, and respecting the rights of indigenous peoples.

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.

The world is off track to meet its 2030 forest goals, with global deforestation increasing by 4% in 2022. While some non-tropical regions met their targets, all tropical regions missed theirs, with Tropical Latin America and the Caribbean being the farthest off track. Primary tropical forest loss and emissions from deforestation also increased, while biodiversity continues to decline at an alarming rate. Forest restoration efforts remain fragmented and lack transparency, and forest degradation continues to pose a significant threat globally.

The world is off track to meet 2025 and 2030 forest goals, with commodity-driven deforestation increasing by 5.6% in 2022. While some leading agricultural companies and governments (notably the EU) are taking action, overall impact is limited by low political priority, insufficient corporate transparency in extractives, and systemic risks to environmental defenders.

The world is off track to meet 2025 and 2030 forest goals, with commodity-driven deforestation increasing by 5.6% in 2022. While some leading agricultural companies and EU regulations show progress, most governments deprioritize forests in macroeconomic planning, and the mining sector lacks transparency. Indigenous Peoples and local communities have increased international awareness but face severe violence and funding gaps. Collaborative jurisdictional efforts are emerging but remain in early stages.
