Forest Declaration Assessment

A civil society-led assessment of progress toward the global goals of halting and reversing deforestation and forest degradation by 2030. The Forest Declaration Assessment annually publishes rigorously researched and peer-reviewed progress assessment reports on the state of global forests. Our critical, evidence-based analyses highlight the gaps and point to solutions to overcome inertia, countervailing economic forces, and other barriers to progress. In 2015 the NYDF Assessment Partners were formed as an independent civil society initiative to monitor progress towards the NYDF’s global goals through the NYDF Progress Assessment. What started as a coalition of six organizations has grown into a strong and diverse group of research organizations, think tanks, NGOs, and advocacy groups spanning the globe now known as the Forest Declaration Assessment Partners. The network also coordinates closely with external collaborators from academia, multilateral institutions, and governments. The information that the Forest Declaration Assessment collects and publishes every year supports planning to ensure that 2030 forests goals can be met through a coordinated and collaborative effort of governments, corporations, and civil society.
