Sustainability Concern|Deforestation
Why this criterion? Managing forests sustainably is considered a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) by the United Nations (SDG15) (United Nations, n.d.). The Target 1 put forward by the GBF (2025) implies close to zero deforestation by 2030.
Why this threshold? We interpret the target of near-zero deforestation as 0 Mha/year of deforestation in 2030.
Therefore, the lower threshold for deforestation is set to zero.
