Huge volumes of sawn timber traded into the West through the Port of Hong Kong could be sourced from illegal and deforested forests, according to Forest Trends, which warns that the European Commission’s country classification list does little to end the trade of deforested products infiltrating European supply chains.

In October, a US-based NGO, Forest Trends, published a mining report that found several licenses overlap with Kwa and other protected areas. Mining in a proposed or protected area is illegal, under the National Forestry Reform Law, except for industrial mining, which must meet certain requirements.

“While China is a global leader in domestic reforestation and renewable energy, this report highlights a critical blind spot of the environmental cost of its imported agricultural and timber commodities,” said Kerstin Canby, a senior director with Forest Trends.

It’s official. The European Parliament has voted to postpone the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) for another 12 months, aligning with the position adopted by EU countries at the Council last week. The decision sets the stage for a swift agreement before Christmas, but also deepens uncertainty around one of Europe’s most significant environmental laws.

The fact is that despite three decades of pledges — and some notable areas of progress — global emissions continue to rise. Many companies set ambitious goals only to postpone or quietly abandon them once the real costs become clear. And more still don’t even do that. There is nothing to suggest that carbon credits are to […]

As global negotiators gather for COP30 in the heart of the Amazon, climate standards group Equitable Earth unveiled a new methodology aimed at reshaping how forest conservation projects earn and trade carbon credits. The framework, called M002, updates the REDD+ system for avoiding unplanned deforestation and degradation and is designed to streamline certification for community-led conservation.

As the host of COP30, Brazil has a unique opportunity to help shape the future of global carbon markets by leveraging its experience in nature-based solutions. The numerous practical frameworks that Brazil has created demonstrate that economic development and forest protection can co-exist and can serve as models for other countries. Brazil’s experience with Indigenous […]
