Prospects and challenges for policy convergence between the EU and China to address imported deforestation

The EU and China are major importers of ‘forest-risk’ commodities and thus play a pivotal role in shaping the sustainability of those commodities supply chains. The EU recently introduced a regulation mandating due diligence by companies to ensure commodities are not sourced from recently deforested land. However, even if eventually successful in eliminating ‘imported’ deforestation to Europe, the regulation risks creating leakage to China and other markets.

Assessing the water footprint of Belgium’s agricultural commodity supply chains

Trase (SEI York and Global Canopy) was commissioned by Belgium’s Federal Public Service for Heath, Food Chain Safety and Environment (FPS Public Health) to provide an assessment of Belgium’s water footprint via its trade and consumption of imported agricultural commodities. The main aim is to provide a detailed understanding of country and commodity-specific water consumption and the associated water-related environmental pressures to identify hotspots of potential commodity water risk which warrant further investigation.
