"In this insightful book, Martin Hedemann-Robinson appraises the European Union's development of its legal framework to assist in combating one of the foremost challenges facing the international community: global deforestation. He provides an analytical overview of the evolving Union legislation, discussing its impact both within the single market as well as internationally. The book meticulously assesses the evolution of EU policy intervention regarding global deforestation, which commenced with the 2003 Forest Law, Enforcement, Governance and Trade Action Plan. Subsequent chapters discuss the development of voluntary partnership agreements forged with non-EU countries in tropical forested regions, as well as analyse the EU's 2010 Timber Regulation designed to exclude illegal timber from being sold on the single market. Hedemann-Robinson then examines most recent and more profound adjustments to the EU's policy framework, notably the 2023 Deforestation-Free Product Regulation (DFPR) which aims to phase in a ban on imports of certain agricultural produce which may have contributed to global deforestation. Finally, the book places these developments in a broader international context, considering the extent of political and legal co-operation across the globe. Comprehensive and precise, Combating Deforestation will prove an invaluable resource for students and scholars of law, geography, ecology and political science. It will also interest practitioners and policymakers involved in environmental protection, international public law and international trade"--

Minerals play a vital role in society, both in everyday life and in technologies required for a greener economic future. While circular economic approaches are developing fast, continued rising demand and the limitations of recycling mean mining for new raw materials is set to remain an important part of mineral production for the foreseeable future. As an industry, mining plays an important role in more than 80 countries worldwide and, when managed well, contributes to many of the global development goals. However, when managed poorly, the sector can lead to various negative social, environmental, and economic impacts potentially occurring across the mining life cycle. Change in the mining sector tends to be slow, with activity largely driven by long-term commodity price cycles and projects being conducted at increasingly larger scales. But when projects do occur, they can play a key role in the future development of an area. This report focuses on large-scale mining (LSM), with the stated outcome being the identification of good and bad practices and or enabling conditions related to promoting forest-smart LSM based on a series of case studies.
