How can the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) move from legal text to tangible transformation on the ground? Two open-access platforms now offer concrete answers: Climate & Company’s Financial Solutions Database and a growing repository of real-world case studies showcase how inclusive, deforestation-free agriculture can be financed and implemented across the globe.
The Financial Solutions Database provides a regularly updated tool showcasing real-world financial mechanisms that support deforestation-free, inclusive agriculture in line with the EUDR. With filters by region, commodity, and instrument type, users can explore and replicate models like blended finance, guarantees, or ecosystem payments. For instance, actors in Ecuador can search for financial solutions tailored to their context. The database has already enabled in-depth analyses—by commodity (see the briefing on coffee) and by finance type (e.g. blended finance, carbon crediting and NbS). It helps banks, donors, companies, and governments identify financial models and draw inspiration for EUDR-aligned solutions. SMEs and smallholders can also find financing opportunities. The database will continue to grow—anyone can contribute via the submission.
As the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) sets new standards for sustainability and traceability in global supply chains, many stakeholders are grappling with how to turn regulatory requirements into real, workable solutions. This living repository collects and showcases concrete case studies from around the world that demonstrate how companies, producer groups, national authorities, and local communities are responding to the challenge.
From the first pilot shipments of EUDR-compliant commodities to innovative traceability tools, smallholder inclusion programs, and enabling policy frameworks, the repository highlights a growing number of real-world efforts that are already underway. It offers a space to learn from what’s working (and what’s not), share practical lessons, and inspire others on the path toward deforestation-free supply chains.
The platform is now open to new contributions across sectors and geographies. The goal is to build an evolving, interactive tool that supports implementation and continuous improvement under the EUDR.
