Land Gap Forest Gap

Under the first Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement, all parties agreed to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030. We reviewed country pledges related to this target in submissions to the UNFCCC as part of national climate action plans, compared to data on current global rates of deforestation and forest degradation.

Forest protection commitments in country climate pledges

% reduction of deforestation in 2030
compared to current levels of 7.8 million hectares per year (decadal average)

% reduction of forest degradation in 2030
compared to current levels of 18.2 million hectares per year (decadal average)

% of countries with new NDCs (Jan-24 - Oct-25)

25Pledges to halt and reduce deforestation

5Pledges to halt and reduce forest degradation

13Countries with pledges to halt and reduce both degradation and deforestation

Review of pledges included all NDCs and long-term strategies submitted to the UNFCCC up until the end of October 2025.

The map below shows current and future deforestation and forest degradation rates in each country. Countries with commitments to reduce and.or halt deforestation and forest degradation are highlighted. Historical rates of deforestation and forest degradation are sourced from Global Forest Watch tree cover loss data (10-year average annual rate). Countries in grey have no data.

The table can be sorted by: 1) country 2) annual deforestation and forest degradation rates (10-year average) 3) 2030 rates of deforestation and forest degradation in line with pledges 4) total forest area, 5) percentage of degraded forest, and 6) whether countries have explicit pledges. Use the filters to focus on specific regions or pledge commitments.

Deforestation and forest degradation data represents annual rates averaged over 2015-2024. Where countries do not include a quantifiable pledge within their climate commitments, a continuation of the average 10-year rate is assumed. The % degraded forest is sourced from the Forest Landscape Integrity Index (2019), forested lands with 'low' or 'medium' integrity are considered degraded.

Data current as of October 31, 2025.
