Resumen
Descripción
Over the last two decades, consumers have grown more aware of the environmental and social impacts of commodity production. Many companies have started to address those concerns by adopting codes of conduct or making public commitments to improve their business and sourcing practices. Some countries have complemented this voluntary approach with regulatory frameworks to strengthen and accelerate changes in business practices and ensure positive outcomes at scale. Obligations for due diligence, including rules on transparency and disclosure, have been imposed on supply chain actors. There has been a special focus on the risk of deforestation associated with the production of specific agricultural commodities that are traded internationally. The paper starts out by providing more background on relevant regulations. It then lays out the geospatial data needs, including an assessment framework, and provides information on how current country capacities can support emerging requirements. Finally, the paper identifies initial lessons learned from applying the assessment framework.This paper was developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) through the AIM4Forests: Accelerating Innovative Monitoring for Forests programme, thanks to the financial support from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
