In 2022, global deforestation increased by 4% over 2021 to 6.6 million hectares, with emissions rising 6% to 4 billion metric tons of CO2 equivalent. While Tropical Asia showed some progress against baseline levels, Tropical Latin America and the Caribbean were significantly off track for 2030 goals. Despite exponential growth in tropical forest regrowth, the report highlights a critical lack of transparent data on global restoration efforts.

The Forest Finance 2023 report assesses the alignment of global public and private finance with forest goals, highlighting a significant gap between current funding and the investment required to halt and reverse deforestation by 2030.

The 2023 Forest Declaration Assessment executive summary reports that global gross deforestation in 2022 exceeded the trajectory required to eliminate deforestation by 2030, despite progress in over 50 countries and specific reductions in Indonesia and Malaysia.

This report examines the state of global forest governance, highlighting the critical link between strong legal frameworks and the ability to curb deforestation. It evaluates progress across protected areas, national policy reforms, industrial logging practices in developed nations, trade regulations, and the legal recognition of Indigenous Peoples' and local communities' land rights.

The report finds that the world is off track to meet 2030 forest goals and 2025 private sector deforestation targets, driven by global demand for food, timber, and minerals. It highlights unsustainable logging in primary forests, insufficient government funding and prioritization, and limited impact from a small group of leading companies. While Indigenous Peoples and local communities are recognized as critical safeguards for ecosystems, they lack adequate funding and legal protections.

This document provides the technical annexes for the 2023 Forest Declaration Assessment, detailing the definitions, regional aggregations, and methodologies used to track forest loss, degradation, restoration, and biodiversity.

This document consists of annexes to the 2023 Forest Declaration Assessment, detailing sustainability schemes in the mining sector, sources and estimates of forest-related finance, and the implementation of green budgeting and risk assessment tools in the public sector.

This document consists of three annexes to the 2023 Forest Declaration Assessment. It details sustainability schemes in the mining sector, provides estimates for green and 'gray' forest finance, and discusses the implementation of green budgeting and risk assessment tools in the public sector.

The 2023 Forest Declaration Assessment executive summary reports that the world is off track to stop and reverse deforestation and degradation by 2030, despite some individual national successes. It highlights a critical gap in funding, a lack of corporate and financial accountability, and the need for a radical transformation of economic models to value standing forests over short-term extraction.

This executive summary evaluates global progress toward the 2030 goals of ending and reversing deforestation and forest degradation. It reports that global gross deforestation in 2022 exceeded the necessary trajectory for 2030 targets, highlighting a critical gap between ambitious commitments and actual financial and political action.

This executive summary evaluates global progress toward the 2030 goals of halting and reversing deforestation and forest degradation. It reports that the world is currently off track, with significant gross deforestation and primary forest loss in 2022, despite some regional successes and an increase in tropical reforestation. The document highlights a critical gap in funding, a lack of transparency in data, and the need for a radical transformation of economic models to prioritize long-term forest value over short-term gains from extraction.
