Tomorrow, #EU ambassadors are expected to give the green light to the European Commission’s proposal to delay the application of the EU deforestation-free products regulation (#EUDR) by twelve months. 225 civil society organisations from over 40 countries have issued a joint statement, calling on all national EU governments and the European Parliament to reject the Commission’s proposal. The EUDR is the flagship achievement of the #EuropeanGreenDeal. It is a world-first in the fight against #deforestation, #forest degradation and associated #HumanRights impacts, which are driven by European production and consumption of products like beef, leather, palm oil, coffee, cocoa, timber, rubber, and soy. The world’s #forests urgently need the protection that the EUDR offers. By delaying its application and giving into the demands of vested interests, the European Commission is: 👉 significantly undermining the EU’s credibility as a global leader in the fight against #ClimateChange, #biodiversity loss and #HumanRights violations 👉 effectively rewarding those companies who are continuing to profit from environmental destruction  👉 penalising those who have already spent resources to comply with the EUDR 👉 weakening the overall integrity of EU policy-making 👉 putting the European Green Deal into question 👉 sending a signal to other major consuming countries that any regulatory measures to reach deforestation-free supply chains can wait #Forests are key to a liveable future. They must be protected. Members of the European Parliament and national EU governments: reject the European Commission’s proposal to delay the EUDR!

Indigenous Peoples have their own systems, cultures, and governance structures—long before nation-states existed. This video explores how legal recognition of collective rights can reshape the relationship between Indigenous communities and the states they live in.

During this New York Climate Week, FPP and the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact launched a new series of animations designed to help Indigenous Peoples and forest peoples navigate the risks and benefits of #CarbonMarkets and make self-determined decisions.    With the growing interest in their lands from carbon market actors, communities are questioning, “What are these markets?" and "How do they impact our rights, livelihoods, and ways of life?”   In the context of increasing attention to the human rights and environmental critiques of carbon markets as well as the the rise of 'high-integrity initiatives,' claiming to address these - the animations aim to support communities identify key questions to ask and consider to make their own self-determined decisions about carbon markets.   Watch the series of animations, and share it with others - https://lnkd.in/dq-KBppJ   #IndigenousPeoples #ClimateWeekNYC #CarbonMarkets #CarbonCredits #CarbonOffsets #ForPeopleAndNature Climate Group The Christensen Fund Rainforest Foundation US Rainforest Foundation UK Rainforest Foundation Norway International Land Coalition IWGIA - International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs Business & Human Rights Resource Centre Global Alliance of Territorial Communities Namati UNDP Climate UN Climate Change
