Progress by regional governments: New York Declaration on Forests Goal 3

In November 2020, the NYDF Assessment Partners published the Goal 3 and 4 Progress Report, Balancing forests and development: Addressing infrastructure and extractive industries, promoting sustainable livelihoods. Following the report, this briefing paper outlines the key findings collected through CDP’s forest module of the States and Regions questionnaire, which contributed to the 2020 progress assessment of the NYDF Goal 3. The findings showcase leading states and regions who are working to address the forest risks of mining and infrastructure – and where action is still lacking.

The paper was developed by the NYDF Assessment Partners in collabroation with CDP.
