We are delighted to announce a joint presentation from the co-directors of Trase, Toby Gardner (Stockholm Environment Institute) and Helen Bellfield (Global Canopy).

Trase is a not-for-profit, collaborative initiative founded in 2015 to bring transparency to deforestation and agricultural commodity trade.

Over the past decade, Trase data and analyses have shone a light on the role of the global trade in beef, soybeans, oil palm, and cocoa - and the companies who trade these commodities - in driving deforestation and GHG emissions across the tropics. These data have advanced the scientific evidence-base behind international initiatives to combat deforestation, including the European Union Deforestation Regulation.

UCLouvain researchers have been long-time contributors to Trase, and we are delighted to have their leadership on home turf to share their reflections on what has been achieved and what challenges remain.
