Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSSs): An overview of their characteristics, effectiveness, and scalability for reducing deforestation and enhancing forest conservation and regeneration.
This webinar explored novel and existing mechanisms used in international trade policy to encourage forest conservation and reduce deforestation associated with forest commodities such as cocoa, palm oil, soybeans, and timber. The discussion focused on the characteristics, effectiveness, and scalability of voluntary sustainability standards as market-based instruments, as well as the opportunities and limitations of other environmental provisions included in international trade agreements.
