Situation
Last year, the world lost 10 football pitches of tropical forest per minute, despite international pledges to end and reverse deforestation. Forests are cleared to produce commodities like beef, soy and palm oil that end up in the products we buy. This is exacerbating the climate crisis, destroying biodiversity and threatening the lives and livelihoods of local communities. And knowingly or unknowingly, we’re all part of the problem, through our food, fashion and finance.
Solution
We create system-wide change for nature, forests and people by driving business and finance to take urgent action to remove deforestation from their supply chains and investment portfolios. Our open access data improves transparency and accountability by revealing who and what is driving tropical forest loss. Our deforestation-free guidance shows the finance sector the actions needed for positive change. These are essential to meet global climate targets.
