Deforestation and human rights: why companies and financial institutions must act on both

Net-zero commitments cannot be met without action on deforestation and tackling the human rights abuses connected with it. But data released by the Forest 500 shows too few companies are incorporating human rights into their approach to deforestation – and financial institutions are even further behind.

This podcast explores the human rights abuses that are linked to commodity-driven deforestation, the latest data on corporate action - or inaction, and gives practical guidance to companies and financial institutions about the steps they must take.

Global Canopy's Darren Mckenzie is joined by Forest 500 lead Emma Thomson, Laura Dowley from Client Earth and Pedro Martins from Terra de Direitos.
