I am so glad that @sfiar has a team award, because my PhD was truly a team effort. The input, advice & support of Matthieu Stigler, @FeCammelli, @erasmuszu, @vivihrbr, Anna Garik, Holly Gibbs & Jake Munger of @GLUELab1, and especially my advisor @rach_garr made this work possible

[Sam Levy @samlevyforest]

Very happy to share that my PhD project won the 2023 @sfiar team award! In this project we mapped the coverage and extent of zero-deforestation supply chain commitments (ZDCs) in Brazil + identified & quantified these policies' impacts and limitations 🧵

[Sam Levy @samlevyforest]

My co-authors & I also studied the political narratives hindering zero-deforestation policies + quantified the impacts of implementation & adoption gaps in Brazilian ZDCs.🤞these will be published soon! Until then initial results are available in my thesis https://t.co/JYXpBYTZ7L
