Recently, the EU policy landscape has been the source of much debate, acclaim, critique, confusion, and of course its fair share of controversy. The new EUDR, banning the import of goods linked to deforestation, has been hailed by some as a “breakthrough for forests”. Others have been highly critical of the legislation, particularly around the issues of farmer data privacy. An Indonesian Ambassador even asked if the EUDR constitutes a new form of colonization.
In this session, we’ll take a deep dive into this critical piece of EU legislation. We’ll assess the global implications for business and actors on the ground, and hold a frank discussion on:
- How will evolving legislation within the EU fit into the global legislative landscape, specifically in producer countries?
- What policies and practices must business have in place to remain compliant and keep ahead of the legislative curve?
- How will the EUDR impact EU and non-EU businesses? And how will it impact the farmers, local communities and on-the-ground actors at the very start of supply chains?
- The possible unintended consequences of incoming policy, and how these can best be addressed
