ClientEarth Forests

To tackle the #climatecrisis, we need to stop #deforestation and protect our #forests. That's why we work with local communities and lawyers in Ghana, Liberia, Ivory Coast and the Republic of Congo to improve forests laws and implementation. #ForestsMatter #IntlForestsDay 🌳🌲

"Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity Happy #InternationalWomensDay2023

A report reveals that #palmoil industry has caused #deforestation and #peatland degradation covering an area of 440 thousand hectares (equivalent to seven times the area of Jakarta) during 2016-2021 in Indonesia theconversation.com/industri-sawit…

Our food systems have already taken up 40% of the world’s land surface—an area roughly the size of Asia. They drive 80% of all #deforestation & account for 70% of freshwater use. #LandUse-chiefly forestry & agriculture-releases up to one-third of global greenhouse-gas emissions.

From supporting #biodiversity to improving human health, trees benefit people and our planet. 🌍 🌱🏢🌴🏡🌲🏛🌳🏨🎋 @fao shows that trees and urban forests are critical for adapting to #ClimateChange in cities. .#ForNature

📢OUR EUTR NEWSLETTER IS OUT! Want to know more about last year's EUTR developments? For this edition, we review the EUTR and EU forest legislation in 2022, our involvement in it and give an analysis on the EUDR . Give it a read !🌲👇clientearth.org/latest/latest-…

The law can help make the change we urgently need, if we are to restore balance to the natural world. Here’s how it’s making a difference in countries across the world: fal.cn/3vxuJ

A new case of #deforestation in #Liberia clearly shows why international donors should make funding of government entities conditional on governance improvements. Read our new #ForestWatch: fern.org/publications-i…

Alarming news. #Liberia’s courts target officials trying to stop illegal timber exports. International NGOs call on #China, #US, #EU members & the President of Liberia @GeorgeWeahOff to act. frontpageafricaonline.com/news/liberian-…

10 million hectares of forests are lost annually, intensifying the triple planetary crisis. #GenerationRestoration efforts by faith-based organizations are key to addressing deforestation, restoring forests & achieving the #GlobalGoals. bit.ly/3k6VmTv

#NSTnation Malaysia, being a major commodity-producing country, is deeply concerned about the European Union's (EU) Deforestation-Free Products Regulation, which targets commodities such as palm oil, timber, cocoa and rubber. nst.com.my/news/nation/20…

Reglament EUTR: tot el que cal saber. El projecte Life Legal Wood publica uns vídeos curts sobre els principals conceptes d'aquesta regulacio, que s'afegeixen a diferents materials generats per facilitar la seva aplicació. eutr.info preferredbynature.org/es/newsroom/ya…

Despite tales of environmental doom and gloom, there is hope and positive climate action everywhere. Here are some of the big wins we achieved in 2022, with your help 🌍💚fal.cn/3uxWS

📢 In addition to the session in English, we will also be organising 2 additional #webinar sessions on EU #Deforestation Regulation in French & Spanish. Don't miss out! English 👉bit.ly/3HstuTH French 👉bit.ly/3FvNLFe Spanish 👉bit.ly/3hIf5rM

The #EU agreed on a historic first #DeforestationLaw banning import of products linked to #deforestation. This regulation addresses #globaldeforestation, & #forestdegradation, reducing #Ghg emissions and #biodiversity loss. But, what does this mean for #companies? A Thread 🧵⤵️

Last night, the EU concluded its #DeforestationRegulation - a law we've called for over 8 years. While it's an historic first, the EU has failed to include proper protections for #IndigenousPeoples' rights, despite many promises to do so. fern.org/publications-i…

Les negotiations sur le règlement de l'#UE aboutissent, mais la #France refuse de se conformer à ses obligations internationales et de protéger les peuples de #forêts. @EmmanuelMacron, gardez vos prommesses et protéger #DroitsFonciersMaintenant. forestpeoples.org/fr/article/202…

Today is a defining day in the fight against deforestation: EU leaders will agree on the final text of a law that could help save the world’s forests & protect communities that depend on them. To get this right, the law must respect Indigenous Peoples’ rights. #Together4Forests

Public support for the EU Deforestation-Free Law is more than DOUBLE the support for EU laws in general @CHansenEU @pcanfin @CZECHIAinEU @TimmermansEU @VSinkevicius @EUCouncil @Forests_CE #Together4Forests

The EU is about to pass a law that could be a turning point in the fight against deforestation. How? It will force companies to ensure that their products have not caused nature destruction if they want to sell them in European shops and supermarkets. clientearth.org/latest/latest-…

Recently published research found that letting #forests regrow naturally can absorb 23% of the world's CO2 emissions every year🌳 Discover the many forms of Assisted Natural Regeneration: 🌿wrld.bg/G33450L2ufT via:🍃 @restoreforward @thegef #GenerationRestoration #ForNature
