🚨 New Paper Alert - Supply Chain/EUDR 🛰 🌳

Thrilled to share the latest research led by the amazing Vivian Ribeiro, "Leveraging Remote Sensing for Transparency and Accountability in Amazonian Commodity Supply Chains." Our study highlights the essential role of #satelliteimagery in monitoring #deforestation, promoting transparency within #supplychains tied to the #Amazon's agricultural #commodities, and addressing key challenges related to #EUDR and others supply chain traceablity frameworks. 🌍 🌳 🛰️.

Stopping deforestation and degradation linked to commodity supply chains is vital to Amazonian #biodiversity and #climate protection. The paper emphasizes that in addition to remote sensing monitoring, supply chain transparency and #traceability are key to preventing deforestation-linked products from reaching the market.

High-resolution imagery provides the detail needed to support accurate #mapping of commodity, helping us distinguish between actual natural forest and tree-crop #commodities like coffee. By combining #multiple datasets, rather than relying on a single source, we improve the accuracy of deforestation and degradation alerts, ensuring they reliably target areas of true concern without mistakenly flagging sustainable land uses. This multi-layered approach is essential for effective, responsible monitoring.

With urgency around #EUDR at an all-time high, it’s crucial that in the trialogue the amendments are rejected. In light of increasing climate impacts and the ongoing #COP29, supporting these amendments would signal a setback in deforestation prevention and erode trust in EU policy-making during a critical climate moment.

This research is a collaboration with colleagues: Vivian Ribeiro, myself, Chandrakant Singh and Robert Heilmayr.
