We invite you to our upcoming session “1+1=3: Approaches and benefits of public-private collaboration” where we will explore the benefits of public-private collaboration in the transition to deforestation-free and sustainable value chains in the context of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
Deforestation-free value chains are no longer a niche ambition; they are becoming “the new normal”. However, the transition to deforestation-free supply chains demands shared responsibility and coordinated action across the public and private sectors. Governments set frameworks through policy or regulation, while companies drive implementation through their sourcing practices and investments in sustainable production. Their decisions therefore significantly impact farmers’ livelihoods and the environment. Cooperation between public and private sector offers opportunities for risk mitigation and supports stable supply chains.
This 1.5-hour interactive webinar will bring together practitioners, public and private sector actors to discuss what works, which challenges remain, and how aligned roles create real impact.
