RT Report T1 Raising ambition, accelerating action: Towards enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions for forests A1 United Nations Environment Programme, K1 forest K1 forest conservation K1 forest biodiversity K1 environmental financing PB United Nations Environment Programme SN 978-92-807-4162-9 YR 2024 FD 2024-06 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/45627 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/45627 NO Pledges to reduce deforestation and pledges to financially support this transition from developed countries, are insufficient to halt deforestation by 2030. This report finds that commitments within the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) from the twenty countries with the highest emissions from tropical deforestation are not enough to meet the goal. Only eight countries include explicit quantified targets to reduce deforestation. All fall short of global ambition to halt deforestation by 2030. The report provides recommendations to strengthen and enhance forest-based targets in NDCs and other policies; and scale up immediate and substantive financial and technical support for forest-rich countries.
