The #EUDR will increase supply chain carbon emissions by encouraging the replacement of value-added forest products with raw material imports. #supplychain #lumber https://t.co/GXHuDregg2

Are pine plantations the palm oil of southeast U.S. hardwood forests? #eudr https://t.co/apbSMOVZSF

@pgreenfielduk @CrisisReports The United States southeast lost more of its natural forest area than did Brazil or Indonesia (according to data from @globalforests). #eudr https://t.co/BnHkNXAKNj

@mpocHQ Why is there is such a big focus on deforestation-free EU imports from Indonesia when the United States southeast lost way more of its natural forest in 2022 (0.84%) than did Indonesia (0.25%)? #eudr https://t.co/BnHkNXAKNj

@Fern_NGO @FairTradeFTAO @ForestPeoplesP @Forests_CE @WWFEU @earthsight @StandMighty @EIA_News @RainforestNORW @RnfrstAlliance @SuedwindAustria The #EUDR is likely to increase carbon emissions of EU supply chains by incentivizing the import of raw materials over value added ones. https://t.co/GXHuDregg2

@castiml @EUClimateAction @EU_ENV Have you considered that this law will likely increase Europes supply chain carbon emissions? https://t.co/3VtDAghAnb

@ZSLSPOTT #EUDR compliance within the timber sector will be extremely low, especially for products from origins like the US where it’s estimated only 10% of hardwood lumber production can meet the requirements https://t.co/vAnIUavOgs

@franskoster070 Article 29 section 3 of the #eudr states: “The classification of low-risk and high-risk countries or parts thereof, pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be based on an objective and transparent assessment by the Commission…” Do you know where the EC is making this process transparent?

@StandMighty @ChristopheBechu @Teresaribera @SteffiLemke @Henkstaghouwer And increase EU supply chain CO2 in doing so #eudr https://t.co/GXHuDregg2

[Timber Risk Map ™ @TimberRiskMap]

@earthsight Does the United States fall into this category? https://t.co/1mokMJGMsk

[Timber Risk Map ™ @TimberRiskMap]

@earthsight The #eudr is a deeply flawed law. One of its design failures is that it will increase the CO2 emissions of EU supply chains and embodied carbon of EU imports. https://t.co/GXHuDregg2

[Timber Risk Map ™ @TimberRiskMap]

@HiiRobert @CHansenEU @SeanKellyMEP @larawoltersEU The #eudr encourages raw material trade at the expense of value-added products. By doing so, it will actually increase supply chain carbon emissions https://t.co/GXHuDregg2

@Carnstone @jadersaunders @WorldForestID Can @WorldForestID verify that a single U.S. lumber export consignment, originating from tens if not hundreds of timber harvest sites, is legal, and not from deforestation or forest degradation? If so , what’s the cost to an “operator” / company that wanted to do this? #eudr

@wrieurope @Europarl_EN *and estimated 10%

[Timber Risk Map ™ @TimberRiskMap]

@wrieurope @Europarl_EN How could the US follow suit and implement a law like the #eudr when only 10% of US hardwood production will be able to meet the #eudr geolocation requirement? Would the US import wood to replace all the non-compliant timber harvests in the US? https://t.co/jAFbWff4CE

@wrieurope @WorldResources @landcarbonlab @WURenvironment @rubenvalpue @kelsey_perlman @M_Herold_WUR @UMDResearch The US state of Georgia lost more of its natural forest in 2021 (1.0%) than did Brazil (0.6%) Indo, or Cameroon #eudr https://t.co/1mokMJGMsk

@ArthurNeslen @globalforests Have you looked at the other southeast states? Try Virginia, Alabama, South Carolina. Most US hardwood forests are in east US. So southeast US hardwood forest loss is not an insignificant matter.

[Timber Risk Map ™ @TimberRiskMap]

@ArthurNeslen @globalforests Understood. But why is the focus on tropical forests, when places like the US southeast states are losing more of their natural forest on a relative basis?
