#26 Giulia Bondi: Unpacking the new EU Deforestation Regulation

Listen to Giulia Bondi, Senior EU Campaigner, lead for Forests at the investigatory organisation Global Witness.

In this episode, we invited Giulia Bondi to discuss the new EU Deforestation Regulation recently adopted and the role of businesses in saving the world's forests. Giulia is a Senior Advocate/ campaigner, lead for Forests at the investigatory organisation Global Witness. Giulia has been part of the European Union policy community for over ten years and is a leading voice on the matter. 

Tune in and take a deep dive on: 

  • The role and responsibility of global supply chains in the destruction of our forests, 
  • How companies can go deforestation-free, 
  • What the EU is doing about it and 
  • How the rest of the world can step up their efforts to protect biodiversity and local communities.

“We hope that other major markets can follow the example of the European Union. Yes, the regulation is not perfect. The gaps are major gaps. But it's a blueprint indeed. The European Union can not stop deforestation alone. So it's important that other countries also step up their efforts.”
