 简报：美国在世界领导人关于森林和土地使用活动上的数项宣布
 
2021年11月2日，世界领导人聚会承诺，为针对森林和其他生态系统的减排和加强碳封存采取强有力行动。这一行动对在2050年实现净零排放十分重要。
美国正在通过在联邦政府机构、州、部落、非政府组织以及私人土地所有者之间的合作，采取强有力行动，在国内保护和恢复自然生态系统。美国已超越它的2020年《波恩挑战》（2020 Bonn Challenge）目标，有2000多万公顷森林土地正在得到恢复。拜登-哈里斯政府发起了 “美丽美国”（America the Beautiful）十年挑战，致力于在全国开展由地方领导的志愿行动，保护、连接和恢复土地、水域和野生动植物，并且制定出到2030年使我们30%的土地和水域得到保护的目标。 
为支持这些努力和在全球采取强有力行动，美国在11月2日自豪地：
1）宣布保护全球森林计划：重要碳汇。这项为时十年的全政府计划阐明美国的方针，即通过一系列外交、决策和金融手段保护地球陆地碳汇。这项美国政府的首创计划致力于激发全球为保护和恢复森林和其他有重要碳汇功能的生态系统作出努力。它包含四个主要目标：1）激励对森林和生态系统及森林地貌的保护与恢复；2）促动私人行业对保护关键碳汇的投资、融资和行动；3）建设长期能力并支持加强问责的数据和系统；4）扩大气候和环保行动的雄心。一旦获得国会拨款，美国计划到2030年为我们的国际气候资金投入多达90亿美元，用于支持上述目标。 
2）成立森林投资俱乐部。这是包含主要的政府和私人金融机构和其他投资者的关系网，有17个创始成员，旨在为支持在土地业取得可持续和有利气候的成果而启动和加大投资。这些金融机构和网络合作伙伴（Network Partners）致力于扩大对环保、恢复、可持续农业和林业以及绿色基础设施的投资规模和地理范畴。
3）成立森林金融风险集团（Forest Finance Risk Consortium，FFRC）。它将汇聚金融机构和专家力量，致力于森林监测和使气候融资公开化，以便更好地评估和披露投资组合中所涉与森林相关的排放。FFRC将根据现有和正在形成的气候融资披露指南，对披露与森林有关的气候风险作出改进，从而降低金融市场的未来风险，并帮助金融机构消除投资组合中的气候风险。
4）与英国和10个主要农业贸易方协作，制定共同路线图，以便使企业目标和供应链的行动与1.5摄氏度的路线保持一致。据此作出的承诺将扩大合作和贯彻有利环境的决策，提高针对范围3（非能源的非直接）排放和非直接供应链的透明度，并且给农民生计带来改善。
5）支持《格拉斯哥领导人关于森林和土地使用的宣言》（Glasgow Leaders Declaration on Forests and Land Use），承诺通过集体努力，到2030年停止和扭转森林消失和土壤退化，同时带来可持续发展，并促进包容性的农村转型。
6）与其他11个捐助方联合宣布《全球森林融资承诺》（Global Forest Finance Pledge），准备在2021年到2025年间共同为与森林相关的气候融资提供120亿美元。
7）加入《COP26刚果盆地捐助方联合声明》（COP26 Congo Basin Joint Donors’ Statement），宣布第一步集体承诺，融资至少15亿美元，从2021年至2025年支持为实现对刚果盆地的森林、泥炭地和其他重要地球碳汇的保护和保持作出强有力的努力。
8）支持《COP26关于原住民和地方社区森林保有权联合声明》（COP26 Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) Forest Tenure Joint Statement），宣布17亿美元的第一步集体承诺资金，从2021年至2025年支持增进原住民和地方社区的森林保有权，并对他们作为森林和自然守护者的作用给予更大的肯定和奖励。

OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON
NOVEMBER 3, 2021
On November 2, 2021, world leaders gathered to commit to ambitious action to reduce emissions and enhance carbon sequestration from forests and other ecosystems.  This action is critical to reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
The United States is taking ambitious action to conserve and restore natural ecosystems at home, through partnerships among federal government agencies, states, tribes, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and private landowners.  The United States has exceeded its 2020 Bonn Challenge goal, with more than 20 million hectares of forest land under restoration to date.  The Biden-Harris Administration launched “America the Beautiful,” a decade-long challenge to pursue locally led, voluntary nationwide efforts to conserve, connect, and restore the lands, waters, and wildlife, and set out the goal of conserving 30 percent of our lands and waters by 2030.
To complement these efforts and support ambitious action globally, on November 2 the United States proudly:
1)  Announced the Plan to Conserve Global Forests: Critical Carbon Sinks. This decade-long, whole-of government Plan sets forth the U.S. approach to conserving critical global terrestrial carbon sinks by deploying a range of diplomatic, policy, and financing tools.  The first-of-its-kind plan for the U.S. government seeks to catalyze the global effort to conserve and restore the forests and other ecosystems that serve as critical carbon sinks.  The Plan has four key objectives:  1) Incentivize forest and ecosystem conservation and forest landscape restoration; 2) Catalyze private sector investment, finance and action to conserve critical carbon sinks; 3) Build long-term capacity and support the data and systems that enhance accountability; and 4) Increase ambition for climate and conservation action.  Subject to Congressional appropriations, by 2030 the United States intends to dedicate up to $9 billion of our international climate funding to support these objectives.
2) Launched the Forest Investor Club.  This network of leading public and private financial institutions and other investors, with 17 founding members, aims to unlock and scale up investments that support sustainable, climate-aligned outcomes in the land sector. These financial institutions and Network Partners are committed to increasing the scale and geographic scope of investment in conservation, restoration, sustainable agriculture and forestry, and green infrastructure.
3) Established the Forest Finance Risk Consortium (FFRC).The Consortium will bring together financial institutions and experts in forest monitoring and climate finance disclosure to better assess and disclose exposure to forest-related emissions in investment portfolios.  The FFRC will improve disclosure of forest-related climate risk in line with existing and emerging climate finance disclosure guidance, decreasing future risks to financial markets and helping financial institutions eliminate climate risks from their portfolios.
4) Worked with the United Kingdom and 10 leading agricultural traders to develop a shared roadmap to align corporate goals and supply chain action with a 1.5 degrees Celsius pathway. The resulting commitments will increase collaboration and implementation in enabling policy environments, promoting transparency on scope 3 (non-energy indirect) emissions and indirect supply chains, and improving livelihoods for farmers.
5) Supported the Glasgow Leaders Declaration on Forests and Land Use, committing to working collectively to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030 while delivering sustainable development and promoting an inclusive rural transformation.
6) Joined 11 other donors in issuing the Global Forest Finance Pledge, announcing our intention to collectively provide $12 billion for forest-related climate finance from 2021 to 2025.
7) Joined the COP26 Congo Basin Joint Donors’ Statement, announcing an initial collective pledge of at least $1.5 billion of financing, from 2021 to 2025, to support ambitious efforts and results in the region to conserve and maintain the Congo Basin forests, peatlands, and other critical global carbon sinks. 8) Supported the COP26 Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) Forest Tenure Joint Statement, announcing an initial, collective pledge of $1.7 billion of financing, from 2021 to 2025, to support the advancement of Indigenous Peoples’ and local communities’ forest tenure rights and greater recognition and rewards for their role as guardians of forests and nature.
