💨 Abstract

The European Commission has proposed a one-year delay in implementing a law banning the import of commodities linked to deforestation, due to concerns from industries and governments worldwide about its impact on small-scale farmers and supply chains. The law aims to address the EU's contribution to deforestation, a major cause of climate change, but critics say it is complex and potentially protectionist. The proposal needs the approval of the European Parliament and member states.
