@CEEbill_NOW @CarolineLucas @jc4southsuffolk more info here. The people of Suffolk are so close to nature; everyone can see that climate change is real and it scares them. It really is time to step up and save the future.

My latest article with @ChathamHouse explores economic, legal and environmental factors that need to combine to support positive change in the fight for #sustainable global forestry practices. Read it here > https://t.co/i5YAiQiebq

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

Though the new UK legislation to tackle #illegaldeforestation is arguably world-leading, a holistic approach is needed to avoid the financial burden being passed to developing nations on the path towards greening supply chains.

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

The wonderful forum of @ChathamHouse gives a platform to explore & discuss key global deforestation issues as we work towards #Agenda2030. In this, I look at the new #UKlegislation which could with the right balance, both protect the environment & create positive economic change.

[Chatham House @ChathamHouse]

New UK government legislation to tackle illegal deforestation is in many ways genuinely world-leading.

But while such measures may tackle carbon emissions, they may also have unintended consequences for some of the poorest people in developing nations, writes Jade Saunders

French courts are failing to use the #loidevigilance to hold companies to account. The @EU_Commision must do better if legislating to #HoldBizAccountable. A meaningful implementation plan is key.

[Friends of the Earth Europe🌍 @foeeurope]

Big companies like @Total have wiped whole villages off the map in the name of profit 😱

They won’t stop unless WE stop them. Tell the @EU_Commision to 📢 #HoldBizAccountable & STOP corporations wrecking the planet!

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

Laws are only as good as the courts willing to make meaningful judgements. A year on 1st #loidevigilance case remains depressingly familiar. EU #bizhumanrights needs effective implementation not just impressive legislative text.

"The allegations against @Total are staggering."
#Humanrights violations are worsening in Uganda and Tanzania.
This afternoon the Versailles Appeal Court will issue its ruling.

@JBlankenbach @BMZ_Bund #LoideVigilance is great inspiration but French courts passed the first case to commercial arbitration. Inauspicious beginnings. We must learn lessons from this and #eutr weakness to increase chance of penalties for Mandatory #Humanrights and environmental #duediligence breaches.

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

Thanks to @tfa_Global and @Efeca_Forests for the chance to talk about lessons from timber #duediligence this week. Critical that mandatory #humanrights legislation proposed by @dreynders isn't just about filing paperwork or impossible litigation. New law needs to work smarter.

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

Regulatory movement on #deforestation in the US and environmental #duediligence in the EU are needed fast. Together they can be more than the sum of their parts. Cooperative enforcement has been critical to the impact of the #EUTR and #LaceyAct on the Timber Trade.

[Forest Trends @foresttrendsorg]

Voluntary action isn't enough to end #deforestation. Regulations force laggards to act & reward leaders. This yr Sen @brianschatz will introduce a law making it illegal to import products of illegal deforestation. See our latest @wef https://t.co/fJFuuXOQwj #WEF20 #ForestPositive

While the volume of Myanmar timber imports have not changed since 2017, ports of entry into the EU have been shifting dramatically. @foresttrendsorg (2/6)

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

Evidence of deliberate circumvention of Timber #duediligence in the EU, as noted in my presentation this week on @tfa_Global Panel discussion. EU #humanrights legislation needs to learn lessons.

[Forest Trends @foresttrendsorg]

Most recently, joint Dutch and Czech enforcement has been uncovering deliberate circumvention of the EUTR: Myanmar teak imported via the Czech Republic had already been pre-sold to buyers in the Netherlands. @foresttrendsorg (5/6)

A deep dive into EU enforcement of Timber Regulations and important lessons to learn for making Mandatory #HumanRights #duediligence in the EU meaningful.

[Forest Trends @foresttrendsorg]

The European Commission has an important role in consistent EUTR implementation and enforcement among Member States. Pilots, more effective checks on enforcement actions, and facilitating real-time data sharing will be critical. @foresttrendsorg (6/6)

hello @eventbritehelp I seem to have accrued multiple accounts, and have just booked a bunch of tickets that aren't all showing in one place. Can you merge them for me? Ive searched the help section but no dice.. thank you!

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

@tado this would be a reasonable response if you had been able to offer any support on saturday - but livechat and email both unresponsive/ inconclusive. Still no refund, still the wrong widgets and no info about how to get them replaced. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

@tado unpacked the box and 10 wrong widgets.. no returns info on website, no returns info in box. Requested returns advice from livechat.. said they would sort but 24hr later, nada... more totally cruddy service. Order no S0064053

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

Hello @tado , just checked, no refund for paypal payment 4715441935397674.. "as you have confirmed your case is being dealt with", except it (still) isn't and you are too arrogant, chaotic or understaffed to call or sort it. Epic customer service fail.

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

"As you have confirmed your case is being dealt with"... no @tado it is NOT; not by anyone with the smarts or information necessary to solve problems. Apparently intelligent heating but their customer service is anything but intelligent. God help me if I ever get the product...

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

@tado Do you really think it is professional to throw responsibility for your useless customer service back on your customers like this @tado. "Computer says no", does it? Heaven forbid you would ever phone someone to solve a problem. Does not inspire confidence in your product...

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

"As you have confirmed your case is being dealt with"... no @tado it is NOT; not by anyone with the smarts or information necessary to solve problems. Apparently intelligent heating but their customer service is anything but intelligent. God help me if I ever get the product...

[tado° @tado]

@jadersaunders Hello Jade,

We could find how you place an order twice, and what our colleagues want to confirm is that you want to cancel the one without a promotion price (as it's understandable you want to keep the one with promotion). As you have confirmed your case is being dealt with.

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

"you can always ask our colleagues to clarify them for you".. so kind of @tado to give me that option. Believe me I have done so, many times. Unfortunately their customer service staff are not able to do so. So where do we go from here?

[tado° @tado]

@jadersaunders Hello Jade,

If you have troubles understanding the responses you've received, you can always ask our colleagues to clarify them for you.

Best regards,
Your tadoº team

[Jade R Saunders @jadersaunders]

Baaaaaaad customer service from @tado again. Sigh. Just ask for clarification they say, from the numerous staff randomly chucking emails my way over a period of weeks, having clearly never read the case file. Have never experienced anything like it.

[tado° @tado]

@jadersaunders Hello Jade,

Any order cancellation or correction will be requested by mail. If you have any doubt about the answer you've received you can ask for clarification of the colleagues that are dealing with your request.

Best regards,
Your tadoº team
