The Forest Declaration Dashboard is an online monitoring tool developed by the Climate Focus-led team as part of the New York Declaration on Forests. It tracks progress towards the 2030 goals of halting and reversing deforestation, providing a comprehensive overview of global and regional efforts to address deforestation.

The tool is designed for policymakers, researchers, finance professionals, and organisations working in sustainability and forest management. Its primary focus is to offer transparent and actionable data on forest conservation, restoration, and sustainable land use.

The dashboard features key metrics such as deforestation rates, finance flows for forest protection, and progress in corporate commitments. These metrics are categorised by themes including conservation, sustainable development, and governance. Users can explore trends and benchmarks across countries and regions, with access to detailed datasets and visualisations.

For finance professionals, the Forest Declaration Dashboard is particularly useful in evaluating the impact of investments on forest outcomes. It highlights gaps in funding, enabling alignment of finance with global deforestation targets. The tool also supports risk assessment by identifying regions where deforestation poses operational or reputational challenges.

By offering data-driven insights, the dashboard enables finance professionals to integrate deforestation considerations into lending, investment, and reporting processes. This is increasingly relevant for meeting ESG requirements, ensuring responsible investment, and supporting sustainable development goals.
