WHY IT MATTERS

The European institutions are engaged in multilateral efforts to design legislation that promote sustainability. Farm to Fork and related sustainability strategies will affect the delicate balance between biodiversity and human activities. Industries and market players will be called to review and renew their business models this global challenge. But in order to get it some questions deserve more structural and rational (science based and non ideological) arguments:

What’s the current state of art of deforestation worldwide?
Which are the main drivers?
How can the legislation reduce deforestation and loss of biodiversity?
How can the EU engage global supply chains in this effort?
As a scientific-based research center, Competere is involved in promoting the international debate to provide a better understanding of the present in order to build a sustainable and innovative future. Last December, we have joined the Tropical Forest Alliance Manifesto calling for an EU policy action to address deforestation and we are highly committed in providing scientific evidences on the state of the emergency to favour wise European policies.

Join this Competere Virtual Conference to discuss which are the main causes and contributors to global deforestation and how to favor effective EU policies discouraging the phenomenon.
