Civil society representatives from Brazil and Argentina will share new evidence and insights on the impacts of the EUDR. A new factsheet by REDAF (Red Agroforestal Chaco Argentina) warns that the Regulations implementation in Argentina may underestimate the high risk of deforestation in the Chaco region and obscure violations of the human rights of communities living in these forests. The presentation will also highlight ways to strengthen the EUDR’s implementation to ensure full alignment with the Regulations requirements.
We will also hear from Jessica Siviero, Climate Justice Specialist at ActionAid Brazil, and discuss how the EUDR interacts with the weakening of environmental legislation in Brazil, the upcoming COP30 in Belém, and the ratification of the EU-Mercosur trade agreement.
Together we will explore how civil society in Latin America and Europe can work to ensure that the EUDR strengthens rather than undermines climate justice and human rights.
Join on Monday 29 September for a discussion on the EUDR, its implications for producer countries in Latin America, and the broader context of environmental politics and trade relations!
