Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

The EU Faces Deforestation

Post by Anchor Moy »

Time to act before all the forests are gone. Who knows how much Cambodian forest land has been destroyed while the EU were busy making their report ?

To regulate or not to regulate? EU climate commitments face key test over global deforestation (commentary)
Commentary by Sam Lawson on 26 July 2019

European citizens overwhelmingly support government action to address deforestation. But it has been painfully slow in coming. Eleven years have passed since the EU first promised to act.
Meanwhile, EU imports of high-risk commodities like palm oil, beef, and soy from tropical countries have continued to rise, and deforestation to feed them has accelerated.
Europe’s new plan to address its role in driving rampant, often illegal deforestation through its consumption of commodities is finally ready. It has taken over 10 years to write. It runs to 21 pages. But just one short sentence really matters — and the future of the planet may hinge on how it is interpreted.
