Policy brief: Combatting imported deforestation – challenges for science

Bioeconomy

This Policy Brief is written by experts of the SCAR Strategic Working Groups (SWGs) ARCH and FOREST, and based on inputs from a virtual expert workshop jointly organised by the two SWGs between 2nd and 3rd February 2022.

The brief primarily targets R&I policymakers and funders in the European Commission and national ministries. The objective of this policy brief is to provide guidance on existing knowledge gaps and how these gaps can be addressed in the design of research programs to combat imported deforestation. It is also intended to provide advice to researchers and their institutions in conducting research in this field.
