World 'failing' on pledge to stop deforestation by 2030

BANGKOK: The world is 'failing' on a pledge to halt and reverse deforestation by 2030, with global losses increasing last year, a group of NGOs and researchers warned Tuesday.

In 2021, leaders from over 100 countries and territories — representing the vast majority of the world's forests — pledged to stop and reverse forest loss by 2030.
