Description

Description Launched at the UN Secretary-General’s Climate Summit in September 2014, the New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) outlines ten ambitious global targets to protect and restore forests and end natural forest loss by 2030. The NYDF combines goals expressed in the context of a number of individual pledges and agreements, including the Paris Agreement, the Sustainable Development Goals, the Bonn Challenge, the 2020 Strategic Plan on Biodiversity, climate and forest financing pledges, and supply chain commitments. If realized, these goals have the potential to reduce annual carbon emissions by 4.5 to 8.8 billion tonnes of CO2-equivalent per year, roughly equivalent to the annual emissions of the United States. The emissions reduction from deforestation together with enhanced carbon removals from forest restoration could provide 24-30% of the climate solution. The same as the Lima Challenge initiative.
Objectives 1. At least halve the rate of loss of natural forests globally by 2020 and strive to end natural forest loss by 2030.

2. Support and help meet the private-sector goal of eliminating deforestation from the production of agricultural commodities such as palm oil, soy, paper and beef products by no later than 2020, recognizing that many companies have even more ambitious targets. 3. Significantly reduce deforestation derived from other economic sectors by 2020. 4. Support alternatives to deforestation driven by basic needs (such as subsistence farming and reliance on fuel wood for energy) in ways that alleviate poverty and promote sustainable and equitable development. 5. Restore 150 million hectares of degraded landscapes and forestlands by 2020 and significantly increase the rate of global restoration thereafter, which would restore at least an additional 200 million hectares by 2030. 6. Include ambitious, quantitative forest conservation and restoration targets for 2030 in the post-2015 global development framework, as part of new international sustainable development goals. 7. Agree in 2015 to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation as part of a post-2020 global climate agreement, in accordance with internationally agreed rules and consistent with the goal of not exceeding 2°C warming. 8. Provide support for the development and implementation of strategies to reduce forest emissions. 9. Reward countries and jurisdictions that, by taking action, reduce forest emissions— particularly through public policies to scale-up payments for verified emission reductions and private-sector sourcing of commodities. 10. Strengthen forest governance, transparency and the rule of law, while also empowering communities and recognizing the rights of indigenous peoples, especially those pertaining to their lands and resources.

Comments on indicators and goals From the report: "Individual actors, collective initiatives and their impact on global greenhouse gas emissions", New Climate, PBL, and Yale 2018. This is building on the Bonn Challenge, restore an additional 200 million hectares of forest by 2030.
How will goals be achieved
Have you changed or strenghtened your goals
Progress towards the goals An independent progress assessment on the NYDF goals is done every year by the NYDF Progress Assessment Partners. Read the reports here: www.forestdeclaration.org
How are you tracking progress of your initiative The NYDF Platform collaborates closely with and is informed by the NYDF Progress Assessment (www.forestdeclaration.org), an independent multi-stakeholder monitoring and assessment effort coordinated by Climate Focus, while respecting the independence of that body of work.
