Podcasts.

A way to share technical knowledge.

‘Forests: African realities’. This podcast was recorded following a report produced by Europe et Globe for DG INTPA (European Commission). A series that explores today's world and changes our perspective on tomorrow's challenges.

Why not talk about the impact of the products we consume every day on forests? 🌳

You drink your morning coffee, enjoy a piece of chocolate, scribble in your notebook or use your favourite beauty products... Have you ever thought about what all these products have in common? The answer is simple: they can all contribute to deforestation.

The first episode focuses on the EU Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR) and its impact on African forests. The other episodes cover cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, beef/soya and leather, as well as wood and wood products (furniture, paper pulp and charcoal).

These episodes are free and available everywhere (EN/FR):
• On Our Youtube Channel
