Organizers: The Science Panel for the Amazon & WWF

The Science Panel for the Amazon (SPA) and WWF will convene “From Pledges to Action: A Roadmap to End Deforestation in the Amazon” as an official side event of the 21st United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF21), bringing together science, policy, and civil society to accelerate progress toward zero deforestation. The session will present new evidence from the Amazon Footprint Report on deforestation drivers and value chains, alongside a Science–Policy Interface discussion led by SPA on how scientific knowledge can more effectively inform decision-making. A high-level dialogue will engage governments, civil society, and multilateral actors on translating commitments into implementation, complemented by a civil society call to action that underscores the urgency of coordinated, rights-based approaches. Together, these elements aim to help close the gap between global pledges and concrete action in one of the world’s most critical forest ecosystems.

Join the SDSN for the global online launch of the Sustainable Development Report 2026 (SDR 2026), its flagship annual assessment of countries’ progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The report presents the latest SDG Index and Dashboards covering all UN Member States, alongside updated analysis of support for UN-based multilateralism and new survey findings on government efforts through 2030 and beyond. Taking place at a pivotal moment marked by rising geopolitical tensions, slowing SDG progress, and the lead-up to post-2030 agenda discussions in 2027, the webinar will feature key findings from the report — including its lead policy chapter on accelerating SDG implementation — followed by a high-level panel on global priorities and multilateral cooperation.

Science Day 2026 will convene the science community, policymakers, and societal actors at a critical juncture for multilateral cooperation. As the 2030 Agenda enters its final implementation phase, this HLPF side event will provide a focused space to examine how scientific knowledge is being used within multilateral processes to accelerate delivery, where it is falling short, and what is required for science-policy collaboration to remain credible and effective under current global conditions.
