“DEFORESTATION FREE” POLICY FOR PALM OIL CAUSE WIDER GLOBAL DEFORESTATION 2023

The European Union (EU), the United States (USA), and the United Kingdom (UK) have formulated a “deforestation-free” policy as part of a trade policy for products and commodities related to deforestation. The ban on palm oil consumption as a result of these policies has led to consumption shifting to other vegetable oils, such as rapeseed oil. The increase in consumption of rapeseed oil leads to greater land expansion, considering that the productivity of the oil is lower than palm oil. This shows that these policies expands global deforestation.

“NO PALM OIL EFFECT” UNI EROPA PERBESAR DEFORESTASI DAN EMISI DUNIA 2023

Kehadiran minyak sawit di Uni Eropa sering dikaitkan dengan isu deforestasi (Vijay et al., 2016; European Union, 2013), biodiversity loss (Fitzherber et al., 2009; Foster et al., 2011; Koh dan Wilcove, 2008; Savilaakso et al., 2014; Austin et al., 2019), emisi GHG dan isu lingkungan lainnya.
