Implementation of the EUDR in Argentina: reduction of deforestation or greenwashing?
Argentina is lobbying the EU to be labelled “low risk” under the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) – despite continuing forest loss in the Chaco region, one of the world’s deforestation hotspots. A new analysis by REDAF warns that the country’s Monitoring, Reporting and Verification system, steered by powerful agribusiness interests, could underestimate deforestation in native forests, overstate soy and beef compliance, and obscure widespread human rights violations. With limited participation of local communities and mounting pressure to ease trade with Europe, the current approach risks masking the true environmental and social costs of Argentina’s agricultural expansion.
