Summary

Navigating the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is crucial for balancing ethical goals with economic realities. From December 2024, the EUDR requires commodities like palm oil to be sourced from deforestation-free supply chains, presenting compliance challenges, especially for smallholders. However, aligning with certification schemes like Malaysia's MSPO can ease the path to EU recognition. The EUDR's risk-based classification streamlines compliance for low-risk nations. As implementation begins, collaboration and support mechanisms are key to successful adaptation. Are these regulations achieving their environmental aims without stifling economic activity?
