Governments

Inaction over the last decade has shown that voluntary measures alone are not enough to halt deforestation. For change at the speed and scale necessary, we need regulation. Over the last few years Global Canopy has actively campaigned for effective due diligence legislation. We regularly speak to politicians at events in the EU and the UK Parliaments and have provided evidence and feedback to both the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the UK Environment Act.

We work with other not-for-profit organisations to keep pressure on politicians to act. We are part of the NGO Forest Coalition helping organise the All Party Parliamentary Group on Global Deforestation in the UK. Trase has also worked with Global Witness highlighting the damage caused to tropical forests because of a lack of progress on the US Forest Act.
