INDICATOR 1: FOREST RESTORATION PLEDGES UNDER THE BONN CHALLENGE

• Since 2011, countries, regions and organizations have committed to restore 62.6 million ha of forest landscapes under the Bonn Challenge—approximately 42% of the 2020 restoration target. To meet the 2020 target, restoration pledges will need to be made at a greater rate to cover the remaining 90 million ha.

INDICATOR 2: AFFORESTATION, RESTORATION AND REFORESTATION COMMITMENTS IN INDCS OF PARTIES TO THE UNFCCC

• Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have committed to restore, reforest, and/or afforest about 122 million ha as part of their land-sector Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs)—approximately 35% of the 350-million hectare 2030 restoration target.


The Forest Declaration Assessment tracks progress to enable accountability to meet the world's 2030 forest goals.
