Background Research in Support of NYDF Assessment Report 2020

The New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) is a voluntary and non-binding international declaration calling for action to halt global forest loss. Since it was first endorsed at the United Nations Climate Summit in 2014, support for the NYDF has grown to include national and subnational governments, multinational companies, indigenous organizations, and nongovernmental organizations around the world. NYDF produces an annual Assessment Report to monitor progress towards its ten goals. This project will conduct research on progress related to Goals 3&4, in preparation of the NYDF Assessment Report 2020.
