“…These commitments have been identified as a factor in declining expansion of oil palm in Malaysia and Indonesia 21,22 , although low commodity prices have likely also contributed 21 . Such private supply chain initiatives like certification and zero-deforestation commitments may be most effective in reducing environmental impacts when leveraged with public and institutional support such as plantation moratoria for certain areas and national low-carbon rural development strategies 89 , as has been demonstrated, for example, in Brazilian soy production 90 .…”

“…Documented deforestation drivers in the Colombian Amazon include illicit crop cultivation, agriculture expansion, extensive cattle ranching, Communicated by Alta de Vos infrastructure development and wood extraction. Meanwhile, reported underlying drivers of deforestation include inadequate government policies, poverty, armed conflict, forced displacements and land grabbing (Armenteras et al 2006(Armenteras et al , 2013a(Armenteras et al , 2019Etter et al 2006b;Sánchez-Cuervo and Aide 2013a;Castro-Nunez et al 2017a;Murad and Pearse 2018;Hoffmann et al 2018;Landholm et al 2019;Negret et al 2019;Furumo and Lambin 2020).…”

The Amazon rainforest covers roughly 40% of Colombia’s territory and has important global ecological functions. For more than 50 years, an internal war in the country has shaped this region. Peace negotiations between the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) initiated in 2012 resulted in a progressive de-escalation of violence and a complete ceasefire in 2016. This study explores the role of different deforestation drivers including armed conflict variables, in explaining deforestation for three periods between 2001 and 2015. Iterative regression analyses were carried out for two spatial extents: the entire Colombian Amazon and a subset area which was most affected by deforestation. The results show that conflict variables have positive relationships with deforestation; yet, they are not among the main variables explaining deforestation. Accessibility and biophysical variables explain more variation. Nevertheless, conflict variables show divergent influence on deforestation depending on the period and scale of analysis. Based on these results, we develop deforestation risk maps to inform the design of forest conservation efforts in the post-conflict period.

“…Speaking directly to this issue, a study published by the Global Environmental Change looks at the rise of public and private zero‐deforestation commitments in the context of South America and how they are opening a new collaborative space in global forest governance (Furumo and Lambin, 2020). Governments around the world are aiming to reduce national greenhouse gas emissions by partnering with companies committed to eliminate deforestation from supply chains to protect and restore forests.…”

The COVID‐19 virus has caused a crisis for the world's economy and markets. The World Health Organization has declared the virus to be a global pandemic, meaning that it will have a sustained impact worldwide. In response to the shutdown of economies, governments across the world have implemented fiscal and monetary stimulus packages to counteract the disruption caused by the coronavirus. However, with many countries’ economies already slowing before the pandemic, the measures to combat the virus risk sending many countries into full scale recession for the first time since 2009, according to the European Commission. COVID‐19 has demonstrated the vulnerability of global supply chains and the need for more resilient infrastructures. Yet Europe cannot do this alone. The EU can only achieve this by strengthening ties and increasing trade cooperation with Asia and South America, in alignment with the values of sustainability. Prior to the COVID‐19 crisis, however, the EU has had major public disagreements around trade with both regions, essentially on environmental issues. By prioritising cooperation, the EU can work with developing countries in Asia and South America to take tangible steps towards environmentally sustainable production while boosting economic trade.
