EU Deforestation Rule Under Fire

Human Rights Watch

The EU deforestation-free products regulation (EUDR) is a flagship achievement of the European Green Deal. It is a world-first in the fight against deforestation, forest degradation and associated human rights impacts, which are driven by European production and consumption of products like beef, leather, palm oil, coffee, cocoa, timber, rubber, and soy.

With 225 other organisations from 42 countries, we call on the European Parliament and all EU governments to reject the European Commission's proposal to delay by twelve months the application of the EUDR.
