We can only achieve the goals of the #ParisAgreement with a rapid & dramatic scaling up of tropical forest conservation. The #TFCI Guide provides principles for companies to follow when investing in tropical forest carbon credits to fight climate change ➡️ tfciguide.org

The DRC’s large forests are important carbon sinks, but they lost nearly half a million hectares of primary forest in 2021. Big changes are needed to curb persistently high rates of loss. Learn more on the #GlobalForestReview: ow.ly/63xF50IWG83

Europe needs to reduce its global footprint. Setting clear production and consumption standards that are good for people, climate and nature is critical to achieving this: ow.ly/ZvcZ50IEfyh

The EU has proposed an ambitious regulation to decouple commodity production from deforestation. @forestlegality shares 4️⃣ ways the draft regulation could be strengthened: ow.ly/6J7w50IEfop

There's good news and bad news for forests. Some #deforestation commitments are translating to results on the ground, but tropical forest loss remains persistent. WRI's @FrancesJSeymour lays it out in a new article ➡️ow.ly/rZVs50IIIjn

It’s important to prevent #deforestation, but it’s equally as important to protect forest integrity, meaning the health of forests that remain standing. GFW’s Forest Landscape Integrity Index tracks forest integrity globally for the first time. Read more:ow.ly/XqQw50IMZLO
