Executive Summary - Commodities and Forests Agenda 2020: Ten Priorities to Remove Tropical Deforestation from Commodity Supply Chains

September 2017
Commodities and Forests Agenda 2020
This executive summary written by TFA 2020 and the World Economic Forum outlines 10 priorities to remove tropical deforestation from commodity supply chains in an effort to mitigate global climate change. This executive summary comes from the Commodities and Forests Agenda 2020: Ten Priorities to Remove Tropical Deforestation from Commodity Supply Chains report. The 10 priorities for action are:
  • Eliminating illegality from supply chains
  • Growing and strengthening palm oil certification
  • Scaling up pilot programs of sustainable intensification of cattle grazing
  • Sustainably increasing smallholder yields in palm oil and cocoa
  • Achieving sustainable soy production
  • Accelerating the implementation of jurisdictional programs
  • Addressing land conflicts, tenure security and land rights
  • Mobilizing demand for deforestation-free commodities in emerging markets
  • Redirecting finance towards deforestation-free supply chains
  • Improving the quality and availability of deforestation and supply chain data
The summary concludes that concrete action plans will need to be designed for the local context and incorporate national and regional priorities to eliminate deforestation from global agricultural supply chains.
