Emma Reynolds (Labour)
The UK has a leading role to play in supporting global efforts to tackle deforestation. Implementing an updated regime across the UK is critical to strengthen environmental protections, grow trade in sustainably produced commodities, and contribute to global efforts to halt deforestation—one of the most effective measures to address climate change and biodiversity loss.
This action also helps us deliver on the UK’s commitment under the Glasgow leaders’ declaration on forests and land use, agreed at COP26, to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030.
