Summary
The UK government is introducing new legislation to ensure that products bought in the UK do not harm the world's forests. This includes palm oil, cocoa, beef, leather, and soy, among others, which are often linked to illegal deforestation. The legislation will require businesses with a global annual turnover of over u00a350 million and using over 500 tonnes of these commodities to report on their supply chains and demonstrate due diligence. This aims to protect the world's forests, which are crucial for tackling climate change and biodiversity loss.
Additionally, the government has announced further measures to protect the environment, including:
A new map showing areas that could contribute to the 30% target of protected land and sea by 2030
Funding to restore marine biodiversity and support the blue economy
Support for nature recovery across protected landscapes and temperate rainforests
A new Rainforest Strategy to protect delicate and globally rare habitats
* Launch of the Projects for Nature platform to match corporate donations to nature recovery projects
These measures aim to strengthen the UK's leadership on nature and climate change, building on commitments made at COP26 and COP15.
