Summary
This review presents a synthesis of the multiple initiatives to promote sustainable supplies of some forest-risk commodities, and aims to make it easier to understand a vast and rapidly expanding literature. It was prepared on the basis of: (a) a workshop co-hosted by CIFOR and CIRAD in Montpellier, France, on 11 July 2019 and financed by the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA), (b) a literature review, (c) discussions during the FTA Science Conference (14-25 September 2020), (d) internal workshops (Montpellier in 2018 and Lima in July 2019) building an analytical framework and knowledge on the outcomes of zerodeforestation jurisdictional initiatives, and (e) participation in four webinars conducted from September to November 2020.1 By drawing on the published literature and recent discussions, the review highlights some of the outstanding challenges that urgently need to be addressed in order to achieve the targeted impacts.
