<p>The UK Government is committed to taking bold action to tackle the twin crises
of climate change and biodiversity loss. However, we are clear that countries cannot
tackle environmental and climate crises alone; we need a concerted global effort.
The Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use is an unprecedented commitment
from 142 countries, covering over 91% of global forests, to halt and reverse forest
loss and land degradation by 2030. It’s underpinned by almost $20bn of public and
private finance, by sustainable trade and by support for indigenous peoples’ rights.
We will work with other countries that endorsed the Declaration to convert this political
commitment into strong action on forests and land use. This will include working through
multilateral events in 2022 such as meetings of the G7 and G20, and at COP15 of the
Convention on Biological Diversity.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>All Parties to
the Paris Agreement must report on their progress towards its goals via nationally
determined contributions - which cover every emitting sector including forests and
land use. At COP26, as part of the Glasgow Climate Pact, countries agreed to revisit
and strengthen their current emissions targets to 2030 in 2022.</p><p> </p>
