United Kingdom: Updates on UK's Draft Deforestation Legislation
On December 12, the Secretary of State (SOS) for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) Steve Barclay announced draft legislation to stop products from illegal deforestation from being sold in the United Kingdom (UK). Currently, the legislation covers palm oil, cocoa, beef, leather, and soy products. Additional statutory instruments (SIs) are required to implement the draft legislation. The scope of the draft deforestation legislation could expand if political party leadership changes following Parliamentary elections (expected in 2024).
