In this policy brief, organizations from Civil Society in Europe and Brazil aim to put forth an analysis of recent developments and key recommendations for the inclusive and successful implementation of sustainable global supply chain regulations (for example the European Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products, EUDR). Three crucial recommendations are outlined to ensure inclusivity, especially for smallholders and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries. Firstly, we stress the importance of fostering joint leadership and cooperation between countries’ upstream and downstream supply chains at a political, regulatory, financial, technical and Civil Society Organisation (CSO) level. Secondly, we advocate for facilitating easy-access and agile transition finance schemes for small farmers, indigenous and traditional communities as well as SMEs. Lastly, we highlight the importance of supporting the development of national traceability policies in producing countries to ensure deforestation-free supply chains for both upstream and downstream markets. These recommendations, when implemented collaboratively, will contribute to a more sustainable, equitable, and deforestation-free future. The G20 is uniquely positioned to act as key upstream and downstream countries that are most relevant for global trade flows are part of the Group.
