The 39 jurisdictions assessed in the new EII-CIFOR-GCF global assessment of jurisdictional sustainability include 28 percent of the world’s tropical forests. All are striving to tackle tropical deforestation. Forests around the world Challenge 1: Corporate deforestation pledges abound but few companies are partnering with tropical forest governments that have made pledges to slow deforestation The last decade has seen hundreds of commitments by companies, governments and non-governmental organizations to do their part to slow deforestation. The most conspicuous pledges have been those by large corporations that have committed to remove deforestation from their supplies of commodities whose production can drive deforestation.
Of the 473 companies committed to supply chains of major agricultural commodities, 155 have made specific commitments to achieve that goal by 2020 and 49 (10 percent) companies have report 75 percent or greater progress toward achieving their goals (see table below).

Data on company commitments from Supply Change (supply-change.org, Forest Trends) Less conspicuous are the pledges by 35 tropical forest governments to slow deforestation 80 percent by 2020, if they line up sufficient finance and market partnerships. These pledges are particularly important because they come from the governments who have their hands on most of the levers that can be pulled or adjusted to slow deforestation across nearly one-third of the world’s remaining tropical forests.
