Abstract:
The European Union (EU) has implemented the EUDR policy with the aim of reducing/eliminatingglobal deforestation and emissions by classifying palm oil as a forest risk commodity. Through duediligence, traceability and certification, it is expected that palm oil associated with deforestation willnot enter the EU market. However, the implementation of this policy actually has the potential toincrease deforestation, biodiversity loss, and global emissions due to the substitution of palm oil withother vegetable oils that are prone to excessive deforestation and emissions.

Abstract:
Global deforestation is not a major contributor to global GHG emissions, so it is not a majorcontributor to global warming and global climate change. The share of deforestation is smallercompared to the share of fossil energy in the increase of global GHG emissions. Therefore, linkingdeforestation to international commodity trade with argument of controlling global climate change,as done by the European Union in RED II or EUDR, does not have a strong scientific basis and data.

Tropical deforestation is historically one of the largest drivers of biodiversity loss and carbon emissions globally. The growing demand for food, fiber and biofuels along with market's globalization is expected to add further pressure on tropical deforestation in the coming decades. In this sense, a number of models have been proposed to explore future deforestation trends, particularly in the Amazon. However, none of these models plausibly captured the general trajectory of land cover change that has been observed in this region. This thesis provides evidence that previous modeling approache

Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), can significantly influence biodiversity conservation based on their design and implementation. While AfCFTA may encourage countries to strengthen environmental regulations in line with international agreements like the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and CITES, there are concerns that economic goals might overshadow ecological considerations. This could lead to industrial growth in agriculture and mining, risking deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution. Using a combination of qualitative

Abstract:
Global greenhouse gas emissions, combined with local deforestation and forest degradation, are pushing the Amazonian system closer to a tipping point. A large-scale Amazon tipping point may trigger the collapse of most forests and consequently: (1) accelerate global warming, hindering efforts to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement; (2) reduce moisture flow across South America, threatening water security for basic socioeconomic activities, such as agriculture; (3) increase temperatures across the Amazon region that may become unbearable for humans living in urban and rural areas; (4) caus

Abstract:
There is a growing wave of concern for the embodied carbon in traded goods. One manifestation of that concern is large economies such as the USA and the European Union enacting climate-related trade measures, including border carbon adjustment. This paper reviews more than ten climate-related trade measures that are currently enacted or under discussion globally and five initiatives from large companies to source low-carbon inputs. It then assesses Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Perus vulnerability to trade restrictions, based on estimated greenhouse gas intensity of their exported goods (usi

Abstract:
There is considerable interest in projections of future productivity growth in agriculture. Whether one is interested in the outlook for global commodity markets, future patterns of international trade, or the interactions between land use, deforestation and ecological diversity, the rate of productivity growth in agriculture is an essential input. Yet solid projections for this variable have proven elusive – particularly on a global basis. This is due, in no small part, to the difficulty in measuring historical productivity growth. The purpose of this paper is to report the latest time series

Abstract:
The Amazon biome, despite its resilience, is being pushed by unsustainable economic drivers towards an ecological tipping point where restoration to its previous state may no longer possible. This is the result of self-reinforcing interactions between deforestation, climate change and fire. In this paper, we develop scenarios that represent movement towards an Amazon tipping point and strategies to avert one. We assess the economic, natural capital and ecosystem services impacts of these scenarios using the Integrated Economic-Environmental Modeling (IEEM) Platform linked with high resolution
