RT Report T1 Making Good on the Glasgow Climate Pact: A Call to Action to Achieve One Gigaton of Emissions Reductions from Forests by 2025 A1 United Nations Environment Programme, K1 forest K1 climate K1 carbon emission K1 financing K1 environmental financing K1 climate change mitigation K1 indigenous people SN 978-92-807-3988-6 YR 2022 FD 2022-11 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/41131 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/41131 NO The Glasgow commitments build upon numerous existing international initiatives on nature and climate. The Bonn Challenge and the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, which aim to accelerate action for restoration by 2030, are two such initiatives. The New York Declaration on Forests and the Lima Challenge endorsement of this Declaration are two more, that set out ten goals toend forest loss and degradation by 2030. The Forest Declaration Platform serves as a multi-stakeholder platform focused on ensuring global forest goals are achieved. The Leaders’ Pledge for Nature is another initiative that commits to reversing biodiversity loss by 2030. Although forests are widely recognized for their contributions to climate change mitigation, commitments and pledges to protect them need to be translated into action. Adequate finance and incentives for forest countries to act before it is too late are essential. A milestone to help track progress towards turning commitments into action and finance is needed to help ensure that 2030 goals remain within reach.
