»Die Welt ist weit vom Ziel entfernt, die Entwaldung bis 2030 zu stoppen«

The world is increasingly off track to meet the goals of halting and reversing deforestation and degradation by 2030. All actors and sectors must intensify efforts to regain lost ground and accelerate progress in the coming years. With less than six years remaining until 2030, immediate action to protect forests is essential. And leaders cannot become complacent after short-term success. One year’s or even one decade’s reduction in deforestation does not imply that long-term goals have been achieved. Curbing deforestation and degradation is an ongoing effort, not a one-time achievement. Accelerated progress is possible – if governments, financial actors, and corporations step up to the challenge.

All leaders must unite and prioritize forest protection and restoration. The world cannot sustain its “business-as-usual” exploitation and destruction of forests and other natural ecosystems. Without a widespread, transformative embrace of alternative economic models, the world will not meet its ambitious goals for sustainable development, climate, and nature.
