The EU Deforestation Regulation, set to begin on Dec. 30, aims to ban forest-derived products unless companies can prove they aren't linked to deforestation.
Critics argue the regulation could discriminate against countries with forest resources, potentially harming their exports, while supporters assert it will aid in combating global forest degradation.
Environmental organizations support the EUDR, noting that it could significantly contribute to slowing global deforestation, which is responsible for a large portion of carbon emissions globally.
To comply with the EUDR, companies must ensure that products, including cocoa and palm oil, come from land free of deforestation since January 1, 2021.
