President @vonderleyen: Delaying the #EUDR would be a disaster for global forests and for the EU’s reputation. Environmental policy must not be determined by business self-interest. It’s time to fully implement the #EUDR!

#DefendEUDR

[Fern @Fern_NGO]

Across the world, forest destruction is increasing, fuelling the climate crisis and collapsing ecosystems. The #EUDR is the beginning of the forest fightback. President @vonderleyen: #DefendEUDR by ensuring timely & full implementation.

[Fern @Fern_NGO]

Indonesian NGOs urged the @EU_Commission Commission to assess the risks of delaying action on the EU #Deforestation Regulation.

It's time for the EU to listen to watchdogs in producer countries & increase efforts to implement the #EUDR.

The Netherlands' transposition of the #RenewableEnergyDirective bans all #biomass subsidies for electricity & limits #Bioenergy with Carbon Capture & Storage (#BECCS).

Other #EU states should follow this ambitious, science-informed policy!

The US government has asked the @EU_Commission to delay the EU #deforestation Regulation, influenced by paper company lobbying.

@WhatsNYourPapr exposes this push & outlines why this destructive industry must not be exempt from the #EUDR.

A study published in @NatureComms confirmed that tree harvesting is the main driver of European forest disturbances.

The #EU must base its forest policies on such studies & redirect subsidies to policies like the #NatureRestorationLaw.

⚠️Forests are in danger, and so is the EU law that protects them.

In 2023, @Europarl_EN and EU countries endorsed the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

Now, some conservative leaders want to delay the deforestation law and water it down.

Why we need this law:🧵

[Fern @Fern_NGO]

Compliance with the EU anti-deforestation regulation (#EUDR) is a significant challenge for Indonesian companies & farmers, and requires a collaborative approach between the EU, local government & civil society.
