Floresta 250 – Pecuária, relatório que apresenta o novo conjunto de dados da Global Canopy, revela que grandes empresas e instituições financeiras estão falhando na definição e implementação de políticas de combate ao desmatamento relacionado às suas cadeias de suprimentos.

A pecuária é a atividade que mais causa desmatamento no mundo, e o Brasil é o país responsável por quase 60% do desmatamento global causado por pastagens.

O relatório avalia as 175 empresas e 75 instituições financeiras com maior influência no desmatamento impulsionado pelas cadeias de suprimentos da pecuária no Brasil. Ele avalia as organizações com base na robustez e implementação de seus compromissos sobre desmatamento, conversão de ecossistemas e abusos de direitos humanos associados.

Este podcast é a versão editada em áudio do webinário de lançamento que revelou os principais achados da avaliação de base do Floresta 250, realizado em dezembro de 2024.

Floresta 250 – Cattle, a new Global Canopy dataset, reveals major companies and financial institutions are failing to set and implement policies to tackle deforestation linked to cattle supply chains in Brazil.

Cattle is the biggest agricultural driver of deforestation globally and Brazil is responsible for nearly 60% of global pasture-driven deforestation.

Floresta 250 - Cattle assesses the key players in cattle supply chains driving deforestation in Brazil. 175 companies and 75 financial institutions are assessed on the strength and implementation of their commitments on deforestation, ecosystem conversion and associated human rights abuses.

This podcast is taken from the launch webinar unveiling the baseline findings of the Floresta 250. Moderated by Cinthia Leone from Climainfo, you will also hear from Isadora Carvalho, Global Canopy’s Sustainable Finance Engagement Lead, Raoni Rajão, Director of Deforestation and Fire Control Policies at Brazil’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Jaciele Davi, Senior Conservation Analyst at WWF-Brasil and Alice Thuault, Executive Director at ICV.

Deforestation is intrinsically linked to human rights abuses. The agricultural expansion that drives over 90% of the destruction also impacts the 1.6 billion people who rely on tropical forests for their lives and livelihoods.

This podcast covers the launch of the latest Forest 500 human rights briefing called: The human rights blindspot on deforestation action. The latest data shows just 1% of the companies most exposed to deforestation have a policy that covers all of the human rights aspects that their commodities are exposed to.

The podcast focuses on free, prior and informed consent - or FPIC - one of the key human rights linked to deforestation.
