deforestation

The EUDR is the most important instrument against deforestation and forest degradation that we have and we need an effective implementation now, with EU Member states taking responsibility. Deforestation rates are skyrocketing with the equivalent of losing almost 10 football (soccer) fields of forest per minute. Moreover, deforestation is the second biggest driver of greenhouse gas emissions.
