As the anti-coup government and international community seek to hasten the return of democracy in Myanmar, changes to the jade industry are urgently needed to break the links between jade and conflict once and for all.

#ICYMI here’s a blog from our Head of EU Campaigns @rachelowens on why the EU’s 🇪🇺 new #climate plan is ambitious, but still not ambitious enough: https://t.co/OuewyOfteC

Our @Jcblackman on why we welcome that the 🇬🇧 is considering a new law to tackle its role in global #deforestation. But also we want this law to:

🌍 Protect forest defenders
🌽Make supply chains sustainable
💸 Cut money flowing from UK banks to forest destruction

[Global Witness @Global_Witness]

In May we revealed more than $170m in investment from a UK hedge fund to Brazilian soy producer SLC Agricola, which has cleared >30,000 hectares of the Cerrado.

Now, in part thanks to NGO pressure, SLC has announced it will end the cycle of #deforestation https://t.co/Fux6TRwtqd

With Brazil 🇧🇷 due to speak first at #UNGA today, a reminder that the destruction of the #Amazon is not just Bolsonaro's problem - it's all of our problem.

Protecting the Amazon 🌳 = protecting the #climate 🌎

As the #climatecrisis unfolds around us with worsening wildfires & hurricanes, the fossil fuel industry does what it knows best: put profits over people.

It has gotten COVID bailouts, laid off workers, and given big bonuses to CEOs. See how 👉https://t.co/KTfsWuVO2N

Changes we want to see in the UK's proposed anti-#deforestation laws 🌳

1. Get the UK out of all forest destruction - not just 'illegal' deforestation
2. Make sure the law works for forest defenders
3. Tackle the role of finance in deforestation

🌳🔥 Forest fires aren’t *entirely* natural or random. Deforestation makes forest fires more likely to occur, and potentially more destructive when they do happen.
