Ny handelsavtale? De fleste vet kanskje ikke at i dag, 2. juni (for dere som er i Norge), skal Stortinget behandle (og trolig ratifisere) frihandelsavtalen mellom Efta og Mercosur.
EFTA kunne også krevd en slik modifikasjon som ville gitt økt motivasjon til skogvern heller enn avskoging. Vi har alt en troverdig forskningslitteratur som viser at handelsavtaler gir økt avskoging.

I point to security, the importance of independence of Russian gas, Norway’s relatively clean extraction technology, how it can be transferred to others,

Thx @Bapt_Langlois@LEXPRESS
When @FT & @simonmundy refer to:
-my criticism of forest financing plans
-why payments should be forest-linked loans
I'll add:
de Resende's concern about indebtedness is addressed since FLLs:
-can & will replace existing debt
-aren't supposed to be repaid
