Problem Overview
Over 100 countries have committed to eradicating deforestation by 2030. The EU has taken one of the first major steps in achieving this goal by publishing a law banning the importation of 7 commodities linked to deforestation
Legislation has been applied on coffee, cocoa, cattle, soy beans, palm oil, rubber, and timber.
The main objective of the regulation is to ensure that products placed on the EU market or exported from the EU are produced in a way that does not contribute to deforestation and forest degradation.
