GCRF Trade, Development and the Environment Hub

Lead Research Organisation: World Conservation Monitoring Cen WCMC
Department Name: Science Unit

Abstract

Our GCRF TRADE Hub addresses a global challenge that has led to dramatic decline in biodiversity and ecosystem resilience in the past century, and if not addressed will significantly imperil the development of lower income nations. Trade in wildlife and agricultural commodities from low and middle income to higher income countries has increased rapidly over the last decades, and is projected to expand rapidly into the future to meet demands. Although trade is vital for national development, it also can carry heavy environmental and social costs, particularly for poor rural people in DAC countries, mainly because there is a great imbalance of power within the decision-making system and the most affected people are relatively powerless and voiceless in the decision-making process. The development of these trades over the past decades have has also resulted in considerable impacts on natural systems, threatening with extinction thousands of species globally. Addressing the issue of balancing the positives of ever-expanding trade with its costs is essential to addressing several of the SDGs, to protect and promote livelihoods within vulnerable communities in DAC countries, and is important for the UK in terms of negotiating sustainable trade deals that also meet other environmental and social development commitments.

The Hub will work on a number of key trade flows that are particularly important to our focal developing countries and the UK, and where we have existing strengths that will allow us to have real impact in the lifetime of the Hub. This will include trade that has a direct impact on biodiversity - for example the global trade in wildlife for a range of uses, including the regional and national trade in wild meat. It will also include agricultural commodity trades that have indirect impacts on biodiversity through conversion or degradation of habitats. Its strong international and interdisciplinary research team, including economists, trade modellers, political scientists, ecologists and development scientists, will produce novel, impact-orientated research. Through involving companies, UN-related trade bodies and governments, the project will be embedded in the needs of the economy and development at large.

We have ten work packages: During the project design phase WP0 will further elaborate a detailed theory of change and mapping exercise leading to the co-design of the research programme with critical stakeholders (private sector actors, trade organisations and NGOs). This will lead into the delivery of eight interlinked work packages: WP1: Understanding wildlife trade from DAC countries (live animals, skins, non-timber products, wildmeat) at the supply end; volumes and characteristics of local and export trade, and impacts on biodiversity and resource users; WP2: Understanding supply to demand-end agricultural commodity trade pathways, volumes and characteristics, within and exported from DAC countries; WP3: Determining the magnitude and spatial-temporal distribution of social benefits and costs for selected wildlife and commodity supply chains from the supply to demand ends; WP4: Understanding how trade and economic policies impact on wild-sourced and agricultural commodity trades and their impact on people and nature; WP5: Modelling the implementation of different scenarios of trade policy and corporate decision making; WP6: Developing solutions and building capacity through engagement with the private sector (large corporations and investors); WP7: Developing solutions and building capacity, through engaging with trade public sector rule-setting agencies and national policy makers; WP8: Outreach and Technology Solutions. We also have a cross-cutting WP9: building DAC partner capacity to ensure ongoing, sustainable research-led solutions to TRADE's intractable challenge. We involved DAC countries, corporations, investment bodies, and UN-linked trade agencies in the co-design of this Hub from the outset.

Planned Impact

Impact activities constitute a large proportion of the work plan. These activities have been co-designed with impact partners ranging from international government-led trade bodies, local to international NGOs, global research and outreach organisations, and major corporations and investment bodies. We have developed a detailed theory of change with the partnership, and this has been reviewed and verified as credible by our impact partners. It includes an assessment of assumptions and risks that need to be managed. This Theory of Change and the associated Logical Framework will guide our impact work and will be elaborated at project start.

In the private sector, we have already obtained written commitments to work with the hub from some of the world largest companies: Mars, Kering, Asda, Ingredion and AB Agri. A further array of other international companies have also indicated interest to be involved to help maximize the Hubs impact ranging from commodity traders to financial institutions. Our academic partners, WCMC, and our NGO partners (WRI, WWF and TRAFFIC) all have further active programmes with companies that we can build upon as the Hub starts. We have also secured support from membership organizations that count multi-nationals and investment banks among their members, as convened by the UN Environment's Finance Initiative.

Among trade and policy related bodies, we have core team members from UN Environment's Environment and Trade Hub, Chatham House, and commitment to participate from the UNEP Finance Initiative. Other agencies, such as CITES, the World Economic Forum, Food and Agriculture Organisation, and the Organisation for Economic and Commercial Development have also stated their interest. When the TRADE Hub is operational we believe that more of these highly influential bodies will join the work.

At the end of the project we expect to have delivered a number of tangible outcomes and impacts: a) co-developed, with impact partners in the UK, international bodies and DAC countries, realistic scenarios of policy options for the development of global trade to alleviate poverty without reducing biodiversity; b) enhanced the evidence base, traceability and transparency for key commodity and wildlife trade flows and their impacts; c) developed new ways to show how biodiversity-impacting trade flows from hub countries to other parts of the world, and within these countries, affects natural capital and social development, and proposed an action plan to tackle emerging challenges now and into the future; d) identified and promoted local solutions to trade-related sustainability issues affecting wildlife and vulnerable people; e) defined pathways toward positive changes in biodiversity impacts, within multiple trade flows and with concrete implementation of demonstration projects on the ground in at least one country; f) thereby prompted a change in trade decisions from at least one developing country and for at least one key trade flow between the developing world and the developed world (including the UK); g) catalysed a measurable change in the way global trade is conducted in at least three major business operations and changed how trade benefits and impacts are measured and accounted for by governments and business; h) built capacity in developing countries, enabling sustainable and growing networks supporting interdisciplinary research excellence and policy influence on trade-related issues.

Our approach to impact also aims to ensure the sustainability of the work of the TRADE Hub. By involving an array of permanent agencies, we plan to embed the work within these agencies to allow the thrust of the work to continue long after the funding ends. We will also spend time towards the end of the funded Hub period on activities related to fundraising, ensuring continuation and legacy of the work, and keeping the most productive elements working on these issues.

Title Bending the Curve - Museum Exhibition 
Description An exhibition between Senckenberg and the Frankfurter Kunstverein and the Frankfurt Zoo. Without biodiversity, human existence on planet Earth is not possible. However, biodiversity has been declining for too long. And at an alarming pace. This insight unites the team of curators at the Frankfurter Kunstverein, who have invited the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Center and the Frankfurt Zoo to join forces in an interdisciplinary collaboration. The result is the new exhibition Bending the Curve - Knowledge, Action, Care for Biodiversity, the title of which alludes to the concept "Bending the Curve of Biodiversity Loss". The question is how the negative trend can be stopped or even reversed. And it's about positive narratives. This is what the positions from art and science collected in the show deal with. They illustrate ways and ideas for action to recover ecosystems and serve the goal of reversing the tide of the biodiversity crisis.

Title FSC Rubber Certification 
Description A film aimed at companies and consumers to highlight the need for rubber certification 
Type Of Art Film/Video/Animation 
Year Produced 2022 
Impact Natural rubber can be found in almost every industry. Despite the sustainability potential, the rubber supply chain has been opaque, often contributing to deforestation and human rights abuses. FSC, by contrast, has been on a quest to give smallholders, brands and stakeholders throughout the supply chain an opportunity to overcome these challenges. But what exactly does this mean at the forest level? Through exclusive interviews with nearly a dozen smallholder rubber farmers from several certified groups throughout Thailand, learn how FSC forest stewardship standards are delivering environmental, social and economic impacts for individuals and how you can get involved in sustainable natural rubber.

Year Produced 2022 
Impact In recent weeks, the Cerrado Network has drawn up the Charter for the Peoples of the Cerrado, addressed to the European Union. The main objective is to include our biome in the regulation that requires zero deforestation for the importation of agricultural products. A necessary request, since the Cerrado is a Brazilian biome that covers a territory equivalent to the combined surfaces of France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Denmark, Holland and Belgium, where more than 25 million people live. It is an extremely biodiverse biome recognized as a planetary hotspot, which includes more than 5% of the world's biodiversity, with more than 12,000 species of native plants and a high level of endemism. The Cerrado has important contributions to the regional and global climate balance due to its carbon stocks. And, therefore, we expect the support of the members of the Council, Commission and Parliament of the European Union in this fight to care for the people who protect the fauna and flora of our collective home, which is the Earth.

Description The TRADE Hub's efforts have led to significant advancements in promoting sustainability and biodiversity conservation across global agricultural supply chains. The project has delivered around 1000 outputs that have built capacity, enhanced scientific understanding, and delivered impact at international, national and local levels.

We have contributed to changes in policies, laws and public programmes in the EU, UK, Brazil, Gabon, DRC, Tanzania and national scales. We have influenced multilateral environment, climate change and trade agreements affecting all nations on earth. We have created an understanding of the challenges faced by small holder farmers and how their needs can be better met. And we have worked with business involved in supply chains to help them better address social and environmental risks and dependencies in their supply chains, with 100s of companies already applying some of the work we have delivered.

As we enter the final year of the project we are synthesizing the impact delivered, the scientific learning achieved, and proposing the best ways forward for a more sustainable trade in wildmeat and agricultural commodities.
Some examples of what has been achieved in terms of impact includes:

In Brazil, for example, the hub mapped existing sustainability policy instruments, pinpointing gaps and inefficiencies in addressing broader social and environmental sustainability issues associated with soy production. These findings spurred private sector actors to propose innovative solutions, such as initiatives aimed at improving education and job creation to combat deforestation.
Similarly, in the rubber industry, the hub's efforts resulted in the formulation of sustainability standards and certification programs, prompting major tire companies like Michelin and Bridgestone to adopt strategies aimed at reducing their carbon footprint and preserving biodiversity. Furthermore, the promotion of bamboo as a substitute for plastic led to the drafting of global action plans, influencing policy dialogues, and gaining support from international forums like BRICS and the WTO.

By advocating for alternatives like bamboo and facilitating dialogues among governments, businesses, and civil society, the hub has contributed to reducing plastic pollution and promoting sustainable practices in various industries. Additionally, its work has enhanced traceability and transparency in supply chains, empowering consumers to make informed choices and supporting initiatives for responsible sourcing and production.

Through tool development and research, we have empowered countries to make informed decisions regarding wildlife trade regulations and sustainable hunting practices. Collaborations with China, Tanzania, and other countries have led to policy improvements, such as enhanced labelling systems and updated wildlife trade laws, promoting sustainable trade practices.
Exploitation Route The outcomes of the funding are targeted at different user groups in specific ways. For example, the work on trade systems for agricultural commodities has been targeted at farmers, national governments, international agreements, UN agencies, and bodies such as the World Trade Organisation.

Policymakers can leverage the hub's findings to inform the design and implementation of regulations and agreements, ensuring that trade practices align with environmental and social objectives.

Businesses can adopt best practices and standards developed with support from the hub to enhance their sustainability credentials and meet consumer demand for ethically sourced products.

Continued collaboration with international organizations like the WTO and multilateral agreements such as the CBD can mainstream biodiversity considerations into global trade frameworks.

Moreover, the hub's tools and platforms, such as traceability systems and biodiversity metrics, can be further refined and adopted by industry actors to monitor and improve their supply chain practices.

Insights have been turned into tools, web-based platforms, policy papers for environmental agreements, and inputs into business facing guidance materials.

Each of our target audiences has been receptive to our inputs and there is much evidence of processes being influenced that affect all countries on earth, thousands of companies, and millions of producers and consumers.

We are confident that our synthesis work in the last year will pull research results together in even more accessible ways, and spin-off projects to be formed that build on our results from the GCRF funds.

Some examples to illustrate the above: The TRADE Hub has made a massive contribution by developing data sets (e.g. EII) and indicators (e.g. GEIC) for measuring the impact of trade on biodiversity. These data sets have been adopted by monitoring and reporting frameworks (e.g. CBD GBF, TNFD, SBTN) that are used by governments and large companies to assess and address the impact of their activities. TRADE Hub funding has been used to develop two key tools (CITES Wildlife TradeView and the NDF support tool) for Parties to the CITES convention, which allows civil servants to assess the volume of trade in protected species and set quotas for sustainable extraction. These tools can be put to use for governance and management purposes, as well as awareness raising.

Description The insights generated by the TRADE Hub have played a role in shaping policies, practices, and collaborations across various levels. 1. Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs): MEA negotiating governments and secretariats have directly used TRADE Hub supported materials on (for example) targets and indicators in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the decision making process of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, and the FACT dialogue of the UNFCCC COP26. We are working directly with the secretariats of the CITES and CBD conventions in our final year of operation to maximise impact, and have a similar close working relationship with WTO in Geneva. Insights from the project have also been incorporated into global assessments by esteemed bodies such as the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). Specifically, the project's research on sustainable species use significantly influenced the IPBES Sustainable Use of Species Assessment, garnering endorsement from 94 member countries. 2. Farmers/forest users: We have worked with farmers and farmer support organisations to generate empirical evidence to support decision making to address the challenges faced by farmers in developing countries. Our work has generated considerable insights that we have fed into business and policy facing discussions at national to global levels. 3. Hunters and Wildlife Trade: Our research has influenced policy changes in countries like the Congo Basin, Tanzania, Indonesia, and China, leading to the provision of alternatives to wild meat protein and initiating behavioral change campaigns. The full impact of these efforts is yet to be realized. 4. National policies : Our work on wildlife and wild meat trades has been taken up by governments in China (wild bird trade) and in Gabon, DR Congo and RO Congo in Africa on wildmeat trades, and Tanzania on hunting regulations. Indonesia and Brazil governments are considering how they will work with the EU deforestation free supply chains regulation, informed by TRADE Hub policy work directly with the EU. Moreover, the project's collaboration with China led to recommendations that were integrated into the revised Chinese Wildlife Protection Law, reflecting a tangible impact on national legislation. Similarly, in the UK, research findings informed parliamentary debates on proposed legislation regarding hunting trophies, ultimately shaping policy decisions. 5. Business: TRADE Hub teams are taking insights from the field and working with business facing networks developing guidance, often aligned to the Target 15 of the Global Biodiversity Framework and EU and UK laws on deforestation free trade. These networks - especially the Science Based Targets for Nature and the Task Force for Nature Related Financial Disclosure - have developed guidance for companies and financial bodies. It is expected that these will have major impacts on the business sector.

Description Camera trapping training for Tanzania
Geographic Reach National 
Policy Influence Type Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact The training produced a detailed document about a suitable field protocol for camera trapping in western Tanzania. The objective of camera trapping in the TRADE project was to generate baseline information on the density of key wildlife species in bushmeat hunting and trade across different conservation landscapes. The camera traps captured species preferred by both unauthorised and legal subsistence hunters. We believe that once fully analysed and reported this information would inform wild meat trade policy in Tanzania, especially the recently introduced game meat selling scheme (bushmeat butcheries) in 2020 through Government Notice No. 84 published on 07 July 2020, and the resident hunting scheme, so wildlife losses through consumptive use would not be intensified in the country.

Impact This scientific research contributes to the understanding of the interaction between multiple targets in biodiversity and ecosystem services, considering the cost-benefit of nature restoration and conservation actions. We know the importance of publishing the results as soon as possible and our human resources are focused on this topic. However, the funding cut news delayed the hire of new collaborators and added multi-tasks for our researchers, which postpone the completion of some outputs and may generate anxiety for the dissemination of the results to partners.

Title Social Risk Register Tool 
Description The python data tool described in this technical brief presents the operationalization of the Social Risk Register (SRR) methodology developed in cooperation with the TRADE Hub project. It builds on initial research conducted within a master's thesis by T. Hilber (2022). The purpose of the social risk register methodology is to visualize and assess the spatial patterns of agricultural production, risk factors and well-being. It was developed in the context of soy production and well-being in the Brazilian Cerrado. The development of the SRR tool was the culmination of research on the creation and application of a social risk register methodology related to soy production in the Brazilian Cerrado. This lead to an adaptable methodology that can be further refined to take other statistical calculations and analyses into account or to focus on specific location, or context specific, aspects depending on the use-case. The tool is basic but easy-to use and has the potential to be adapted to other, thematic issues and contexts in its applications. It does not involve a complicated installation process or any coding knowledge to run. With more time the tool could be refined to offer even more valuable insights into how patterns of production are in a spatial relation to patterns of well-being.

Impact By identifying areas where of high levels of agricultural production coincide with areas with high social susceptibility due to weak well-being indicators, the register can help to pinpoint the most vulnerable and affected communities. Moreover, the social risk register can provide new insights into the spatial dynamics of social impacts, which might not be easily detected by conventional statistical analysis. This information can then be used to inform further research into spatial patterns, ensuring resources are allocated where they're needed most.

PI Contribution consortium is lead by IIASA
Collaborator Contribution Research and NGO partners (including many TRADE-HUB partners) contribute to the research design & work as well as to the outreach activities
Impact The Bending The Curve initiative set out to advance quantitative modelling techniques towards ambitious scenarios for biodiversity. A proof of concept analysis was initiated in 2010 to explore the action space towards bending the global loss of biodiversity from land use change, by linking global land use models to global models of biodiversity. The analysis resulted in an academic article in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, released jointly with WWF's 2020 Living Planet Report (joint release). The analysis was also central to IPBES's Global Assessment Report and CBD's 5th Global Biodiversity Outlook. An additional contribution to the 30 by 30 report was made by the land-use modelers involved in the bending the curve initiative and proof of concept analysis, currently being written as article manuscript. Further activities are in the design phase.

PI Contribution Silvia led a successful funding application to the a UCL Grand Challenge of Human Wellbeing small grant. The co-applicant is professor Lorenzo Lotti from UCL Bartlett School of Environment, Energy & Resources. Silvia proposed the idea, refined it together with professor Lotti and wrote the proposal.
Collaborator Contribution The collaborator helps with refining the research question and designing the survey according to behavioural economics research practices. He contributed to writing the proposal and contributes to running the research activities.
Impact Behavioural economics can provide useful insights on behaviours and decision-making related to the environment. For example, it can provide insights on individuals' willingness to pay for environmental benefits that are produced at large-scale and therefore are less tangible and immediate than local benefits. This question is very relevant to understand consumers' willingness-to-pay for premium prices for products with lower environmental impacts and how does that vary with distance from production country. This study is also relevant to understand the feasibility of payment transfers between countries for biodiversity conservation. We plan to run a survey to test how Londoners' willingness to pay changes with the scale at which environmental benefits are expected to be experienced. This is a small, pilot project that will result in a publication and a workshop bringing together ecologists and economists at UCL. Hopefully, further interdisciplinary research around this question will be encouraged by the workshop.

The workshop will include both TRADE Hub partners such as Amanda Palazzo from IIASA and Calum Maney from WCMC, and collaborators from outside the TRADE Hub such as David Williams from University of Leeds and David Kleijn from Wageningen University. The workshop is scheduled for 20-22 March 2024.
Collaborator Contribution The external partners will bring valuable perspectives on ecosystem services provided by biodiversity at local scale and on cross-scale challenges to biodiversity conservation in farmlands.
Impact The workshop brings together large-scale (global) and small-scale (local) perspectives on how biodiversity can be preserved most effectively while producing sufficient food for human societies. The goal is to produce a perspective paper on reconciling research taking place at different scales and, potentially, to develop a future research proposal to fund the creation of a model reconciling the global and local perspectives on biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.

PI Contribution The meeting, which was held in the margins of the WTO Committee on Trade and Environment in March 2022, was co-organized by UNEP and the WTO, with the participation of the Convention on Biological Diversity. In this meeting, UNEP presented key insights of its policy brief on "Nature-positive trade for sustainable development" and convened WTO delegations who explored opportunities and possible next steps for trade policy and trade cooperation to support the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework implementation and forge a mutually supportive vision for trade, biodiversity and sustainable development.
Collaborator Contribution Co-lead organizer of the meeting
Impact The WTO Secretariat acknowledged this was the first time a nature-positive trade discussion was held at the WTO, and issued a communication about the meeting on their website. The discussions underscored that all biodiversity targets can be addressed by trade and support development. The implementation of the GBF therefore necessitates a holistic and comprehensive approach towards biodiversity that encompasses all relevant trade areas. Several suggestions were made to enhance synergies and cooperation across biodiversity, trade, and sustainable development at the WTO: At the CTE, regular strategic discussions on biodiversity could take place and an annual review of trade's contribution to biodiversity could be built in. At the TESSD, biodiversity could be discussed in a systematic manner at the working groups on environmental goods and services and on subsidies. This would be an opportunity to identify best practices, explore voluntary actions, and seek partnerships aimed at improving supply chain sustainability within key sectors. At the DPP, work could support the delivery of the biodiversity target linked to reducing pollution, including plastic pollution in marine ecosystems, and eliminating discharge of plastic waste. It can also contribute to achieving the target on curbing unsustainable consumption. At the FFSR, discussions could provide an avenue to identify and address the environment impacts and trade effects of subsidies harmful for biodiversity. The meeting discussions also highlighted the key role of multilateral cooperation and dialogue for trade to help advance the global biodiversity and sustainable development agendas.

PI Contribution I am a partner on a successful funding application to Adaption Research Alliance Microgrants. The proposal is inspired by a previous funding application with the same partners that was led by me. For the current project, I contributed in defining the scope and research questions and in writing the proposal. I will participate remotely in the activities of the project.
Collaborator Contribution The project is led by the collaborator at University of Antananarivo.
Impact This project will bring together multiple stakeholders to identify the most effective climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices in the south and western Madagascar's contexts and address critical knowledge gaps on key enablers and barriers to CSA adoption. This will involve a series of workshops, starting with farmers in rural villages, then a larger group bringing other regional stakeholders to the same rural setting. Knowledge co-produced from these workshops will feed into a third hybrid workshop attended by international researchers. These workshops will aim to advance our understanding of the challenges faced by farmers, and the potential for CSA adoption in Madagascar, by identifying i) what works and is cost effective in a given context, ii) the factors influencing the dissemination and adoption of CSA techniques. This information will be used to support the scaling of cost-effective CSA techniques in drought-prone regions to enhance livelihoods and food security of smallholder farmers in Madagascar.

Results and Impact Since the advent of agriculture, natural forests and habitats have been cleared to engage in crop and animal production as well as other emerging types of industrial activities throughout the ages. The UNFCCC defines "land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF)" as a "greenhouse gas inventory sector that covers emissions and removals of greenhouse gases resulting from direct human-induced land use such as settlements and commercial uses, land-use change, and forestry activities. Over the past two decades, the global forest cover loss has almost doubled (i.e. 13.2 Mha in 2001 and 24.0 Mha in 2019), with plantation/natural forest harvesting and agricultural farming as the top two causes. In Sub-Saharan Africa, land coverage is mostly agricultural land, growing by 4 percent from 1990 to 2018, and forest area declining by the same percentage. Forest tampering has the potential to trigger both warming (deforestation) and cooling effects on the atmosphere (reforestation/afforestation) because it affects the ecosystem. But international trade has the potential to shift land use displacement to countries with more efficient "environmentally friendly" production systems. Moreover, experts have argued that trade policy can support and accelerate climate action, with special measures. This webinar discussed the mechanisms through which trade affects land use change and how trade policy can mitigate the adverse impacts of land use change on carbon emissions. It went further to discuss how trade can affect access to technologies that can limit the impacts of trade in products that would otherwise have large land use change impacts e.g. seeds, fertilizers, knowledge of land management practices etc. It also discussed domestic (and regional) policy responses which seek to mitigate the economic damage, especially in developing countries.

Results and Impact Article in the Financial Times re: CBD CoP15 and Nature Positive.
Professor EJ Milner-Gulland, professor of biodiversity and head of the department of zoology at the University of Oxford, said some of the targets lacked concrete language.
"You look at the detail for the targets, which are for 2030, they'll tend to have quite generic words like 'enhance' biodiversity, or 'ensure that it's sustainable', and that kind of stuff is quite slippery," said Milner-Gulland. "It's really hard for countries to say - well, what am I going to do by 2030?"
She added that while the so-called "30 by 30" commitments were "good", they would "not solve the problem".
"It's very, very clear from scientific evidence that the only way to actually halt and reverse biodiversity loss is to tackle the underlying drivers of biodiversity loss . . . and those are unsustainable consumption, damaging supply chains and overconsumption by wealthy countries," Milner-Gulland said.

For centuries, Indigenous Peoples have been deeply connected to their ancestral lands, which are home to natural resources valuable to spiritual and economic wellbeing. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected through global trade, we must uphold the rights of Indigenous Peoples to their lands, territories, and resources and to preserve their cultural heritage and economic livelihoods. The TRADE Hub has also found that closer attention to issues of fairness in trade, equity, and justice, and to the perspectives and solutions advanced by Indigenous Peoples also provide solutions to biodiversity loss.

Results and Impact This blog discusses the question of what is the responsibility of supply chain actors in addressing production level impacts?

As attention grows on the negative impacts of unsustainable production, responsibility is placed on all supply chains actors - producers, traders, retailers, brands, financiers - to manage production level impacts through what is known as 'chain liability'. Equally, public sector institutions regulating trade are facing pressure to include environmental and social safeguards, leading to the evolution of methods, indices, and policies to account for the embedded impacts of trade.

These statements are a culmination of the latest environment relevant initiatives at the WTO, namely 'TESSD', 'IDP' and 'ACCTS' (elaborated later in the article) and form part of a wider momentum in the international trade and environment discussions gearing towards a multilateral trade and environment agenda 2.0, one which keeps up with the realities of a world facing the triple planetary crises, while struggling to emerge from a global pandemic, in a manner that leaves no one behind.

Results and Impact Theodore Trefon's book, a core output of TRADE Hub work, that examines bushmeat has been reviewed and recommended by the highly influential New York Times in their yearly wrap-up of The Year in Climate.

Review: "This book from Trefon, a researcher steeped in Central African culture, explores deforestation, conservation, law enforcement and other topics tied to the bushmeat trade, a huge problem that through poaching and infectious diseases has ripple effects well beyond the areas where it happens. Foreign Affairs called the book an "excellent introduction" to a difficult subject."

Results and Impact Theodore Trefon's book, a core output of TRADE Hub work, that examines bushmeat has been reviewed and recommended by Foreign Affairs.

Review: "This excellent introduction to the cultural, economic, and health implications of bushmeat shows that eating a wide assortment of animals is a way of life in much of central Africa. People in this region grill, roast, stew, and smoke a variety of wild mammals, birds, and reptiles. For people outside the main cities, bushmeat provides an important source of calories and protein. But even city dwellers partake; Trefon argues that eating wildlife allows urbanites to renew ties to a sense of their origins, to assert kin, culture, and home. Trefon is sympathetic to the cultural appeal of bushmeat, but his book makes clear that current levels of consumption are unsustainable. As human populations rise and the forest recedes, finite supplies of bushmeat are fast being depleted. Trefon is deeply pessimistic that policies can be devised to protect wildlife as long as bushmeat remains an important source of nutrition; governments in the region have limited capacity to regulate the complex networks of actors who bring bushmeat from the forest to the dinner table."

Results and Impact In September 2019, UNEP-WCMC have facilitated a panel discussion on ""Biodiversity, Trade and Standards"" and launched the TRADE-hub project in Brazil.
The panel involved TRADE-hub partners (IIS and IMAFLORA), private sector representatives (Natura and Boticario) and a representative from a sustainability standard (UEBT). The panel discussed the current status and trends of biodiversity, civil society initiatives for strengthening biodiversity markets, the role of voluntary supply-chain standards, and initiatives led by the private sector (certifications and nature-based solutions).
The project launch occurred before the cocktail (first day), where the project video was displayed and answered questions from the audience (approx. 80 people).

In particular, it shared the results of a content analysis of proposals to amend the CITES Appendices between 2007 and 2022 to explicate the sort of information that the CITES Parties consider in listing decisions. It then discussed two theories of change for CITES: 1) based on the Convention's current design, which was used to critically evaluate the effectiveness of the treaty, and 2) a modified theory of change articulating how CITES could be more effective in the future. Finally, a second talk used African megafauna as a case study and examined the impact of CITES trade measures on such species and how the Convention does, and does not, facilitate the conservation of these species in diverse contexts and some of the reasons why, including the gaming of CITES by policy entrepreneurs. The talks generated many questions and points of discussion from Party representatives and observer organisations.

Results and Impact Another contentious issue was the lack of inclusion of "nature-positive", which many scientists said was important to get into the final text as a signal of the sort of ambition that should be agreed.
"Although the 2030 goal of 'take urgent action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss' is weaker than 'to halt and reverse', this is still a strong call to action," said the Oxford biology professor EJ Milner-Gulland.
"I think the main issue is that the can is being kicked down the road. as we are lacking clear targets and milestones for many of the most important things."
However, she said it was good to see concrete figures on the finance side. "I also just hope that we get some kind of deal that we can work with, even if it's imperfect - every deal is a compromise," she said.

Agricultural supply chains deliver important impacts on biodiversity and can have positive or negative impacts on people in production areas. There is a clear dependency on nature for many supply chains of products widely used by people: over 50% of the world's total GDP is dependent on nature and its services. Dependency, however, needs to be better understood and reflected in the action-policy arena.

Primary Audience Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact As part of the CBI's current initiative to fight illegal trafficking of wildlife, we organized two training workshops on studying illegal pangolin trafficking using a recently-developed DNA analysis tool called 'Genoscape'. The Genoscape approach is based on sequencing and analysis of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), and it creates a map of genetic variation across a geographic distribution for a species, created using DNA from the individual samples. Genoscape is particularly suited to mapping and identifying the origins of illegally trafficked wild animals, so allowing scientists and wildlife protection agencies to understand exactly where vulnerable populations are, making conservation and protection efforts more efficient. Genoscape is also currently exploited in the ongoing UCLA's Bird Genoscape Project in order to map the population-specific migratory flyways of 100 species of Neotropical migratory birds.

The first workshop was a 2-day workshop (14-15 Oct 2019) targeted towards policy makers and environmental NGOs. 38 participants from 4 countries (Cameroon, Congo Republic, Gabon and the Democratic Republic of Congo) attended the first workshop. These participants included policy makers from Government forestry services and research institutes, NGO leaders and university dons.

The policy makers went through a review of laws on pangolin trade and use, as well as a review of historical and current pangolin trade. They were then exposed to the traditional tools for pangolin trade management and were called upon to reflect on the state of pangolin anti-trafficking efforts in Congo Basin. Finally, a general overview of the Genoscape method (How to build a Genoscape, from DNA to SNP Genotyping) and considerations when building the Genoscape. Additionally, some practical examples on how Genoscape can be used as a tool for Conservation purposes and on how to leverage this genomic approach to understand the pangolin illegal trade dynamics have been described.
The final phase of the workshop was a breakout session to decide on how the Genoscape could be used to combat pangolin trafficking.

Results and Impact Since the advent of agriculture, natural forests and habitats have been cleared to engage in crop and animal production as well as other emerging types of industrial activities throughout the ages. The UNFCCC defines "land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF)" as a "greenhouse gas inventory sector that covers emissions and removals of greenhouse gases resulting from direct human-induced land use such as settlements and commercial uses, land-use change, and forestry activities. Over the past two decades, the global forest cover loss has almost doubled (i.e. 13.2 Mha in 2001 and 24.0 Mha in 2019), with plantation/natural forest harvesting and agricultural farming as the top two causes. In Sub-Saharan Africa, land coverage is mostly agricultural land, growing by 4 percent from 1990 to 2018, and forest area declining by the same percentage. Forest tampering has the potential to trigger both warming (deforestation) and cooling effects on the atmosphere (reforestation/afforestation) because it affects the ecosystem. But international trade has the potential to shift land use displacement to countries with more efficient "environmentally friendly" production systems. Moreover, experts have argued that trade policy can support and accelerate climate action, with special measures. This webinar discussed the mechanisms through which trade affects land use change and how trade policy can mitigate the adverse impacts of land use change on carbon emissions. It went further to discuss how trade can affect access to technologies that can limit the impacts of trade in products that would otherwise have large land use change impacts e.g. seeds, fertilizers, knowledge of land management practices etc. It also discussed domestic (and regional) policy responses which seek to mitigate the economic damage, especially in developing countries.

Results and Impact Played a leading role as a speaker on the session: "The way forward - inter-regional exchange with Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean: knowledge, best practices, know-how and opportunities to advance a sustainable trade and agriculture, protecting biodiversity and promoting inclusive socio-economic development."

I contributed to the Reflections actions, opportunities, and challenges that Africa, particularly Cameroon, face to move toward more sustainable and inclusive agriculture and supply chains, and how can trade help to deliver this, and ended with 1 key enabler to build a mutually supportive vision between trade, sustainable agriculture, biodiversity and equitable inclusion of smallholders?

I presented the approach to a sustainable and inclusive supply chain as experienced in our work in Cameroon. Here, a sustainable trade is supposed to address the sustainability of the environment, the sustainability of the system, the sustainability of income, and benefit sharing along the supply chain, and also address the challenges faced by each actor at each link of the supply chains (e.g. the farmers). Many initiatives we participate in are being carried out inclusively. Inclusiveness is understood by including all the actors in the decision-making process. Inclusion of all the actors in the regulation-making process so that they can find themselves in the regulation and easily implement it. An aspect of inclusion that is also gender and vulnerable group inclusion when developing the supply chains. Inclusiveness is also important in terms of integrated supply chains where we have consumers who can talk to the producers and who can talk with other actors along the supply chain. Inclusiveness is also the interconnection of the links in the supply chains (for example, connecting the farmer to many other stakeholders). Some good examples presented are 1. The way the political dialogue between the European Union and the production countries was carried out, the development and implementation of the "sustainable cocoa platform in Cameroon"; and the initiative from the FODECC is a national organization for cacao development, a sort of platform that also brings all the stakeholders together to discuss and address some challenges in the links of supply chains. The FODECC created, for instance, the product producers' window where all the challenges are discussed with all the actors so that they can be solved inclusively, and the producers are part of it

Form Of Engagement Activity A talk or presentation

Geographic Reach International
Primary Audience Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact 'Nature positive' - defined as halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030 against a 2020 baseline ­- is increasingly discussed as a goal for organizations and more broadly society. Achieving nature positive goals is critical if we hope to recover threatened species, maintain ecosystem services, mitigate and minimize the impact of climate change, while simultaneously addressing global economic and environmental inequities. However, realizing a nature positive society by 2030 or succeeding at an organizational level appears aspirational at best, and generates multiple questions including: 1) what is nature positive in practice, 2) how scalable are nature positive approaches, 3) what is the global policy context and how this has been translated nationally, 4) how do we measure progress towards nature positive, and 5) how do we ensure nature positive outcomes support transformative change and increase equity across society. Mainstreaming nature positive practices while increasing earth justice and preventing greenwash requires sustained engagement from the conservation sector.

We use this symposium to discuss these issues, examine some of the criticisms of nature positive, and consider a research and practice agenda for the concept, to maximize its contribution to achieving sustainable development goals and the 2050 vision for biodiversity.

Results and Impact The meeting was held in London in November 2019. The meeting was intended to convene leading experts to discuss the state of knowledge, and scientific and policy needs to measure and mitigate the impacts of global agricultural commodity value chains on nature and people, especially in developing countries. These issues are of great relevance to the development of UK and international policy, especially related to the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Climate Agreement and the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework which will be themed around 'Ecological Civilization' and agreed in China in 2020. They are also of great relevance to the business and finance sectors, working to improve the footprint of their agricultural commodity trade activities.

Specific objectives included:
To identify and prioritise knowledge gaps and define where measurable impact can be made
To build greater understanding of the barriers to corporate and policy action for more sustainable trade and the science and policy needs that the Trade hub could support
To help drive greater coordination of efforts and foster partnerships to effect change

Results and Impact Since the advent of agriculture, natural forests and habitats have been cleared to engage in crop and animal production as well as other emerging types of industrial activities throughout the ages. The UNFCCC defines "land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF)" as a "greenhouse gas inventory sector that covers emissions and removals of greenhouse gases resulting from direct human-induced land use such as settlements and commercial uses, land-use change, and forestry activities. Over the past two decades, the global forest cover loss has almost doubled (i.e. 13.2 Mha in 2001 and 24.0 Mha in 2019), with plantation/natural forest harvesting and agricultural farming as the top two causes. In Sub-Saharan Africa, land coverage is mostly agricultural land, growing by 4 percent from 1990 to 2018, and forest area declining by the same percentage. Forest tampering has the potential to trigger both warming (deforestation) and cooling effects on the atmosphere (reforestation/afforestation) because it affects the ecosystem. But international trade has the potential to shift land use displacement to countries with more efficient "environmentally friendly" production systems. Moreover, experts have argued that trade policy can support and accelerate climate action, with special measures. This webinar discussed the mechanisms through which trade affects land use change and how trade policy can mitigate the adverse impacts of land use change on carbon emissions. It went further to discuss how trade can affect access to technologies that can limit the impacts of trade in products that would otherwise have large land use change impacts e.g. seeds, fertilizers, knowledge of land management practices etc. It also discussed domestic (and regional) policy responses which seek to mitigate the economic damage, especially in developing countries.

Sustainable agricultural commodity trade that ensures fair returns to farmers while reducing impacts on forests and biodiversity is a topic that's front and centre globally. However, the necessary transition is hampered by barriers in key areas: data, traceability and standards; awareness and technical capacity; collaboration and participatory approaches; and policy and regulatory incentives.

This workshop session was organized by the Trade, Development and the Environment Hub, funded by UK Research and Innovation, and TESS. They presented an original documentary filmed by the TRADE Hub, focused on cocoa and palm oil smallholders in Cameroon, as a case study for the workshop.

Results and Impact A webinar on minimum environmental standards: A way to avoid a fractured turn of trade policy that disadvantages producers from developing countries.

In light of rising global environmental challenges, the need to transition to a more sustainable global system of consumption and production lies at hand. However, the adoption of diverging policy responses raises challenges from a trade perspective and risks undermining producers from vulnerable developing and least-developed countries (LDCs).

In this context, this panel explores how a global environmental minimum standard at the WTO, similar to the Codex Alimentarius for Food Safety, could promote a sustainable trade system in an inclusive manner. Panelists explore the following questions: How could the development of environmental minimum standards at the WTO help minimize barriers to trade while supporting a transition to a sustainable global trade system? What opportunities and challenges arise particularly for vulnerable producers from developing countries and LDCs? And finally: What are the next steps to commencing such a process in an inclusive manner?

Results and Impact At Cop15, the general idea is to bend the curve on biodiversity loss so there will be more nature in 2030 than there was in 2020, and then reach full ecosystem recovery by 2050.
Oxford biology professor EJ Milner-Gulland argued earlier this year that nature positive is crucial for communicating measurable improvements in biodiversity, but warned that it was already being watered down by corporations. "It is already starting to feel like any actions that increase biodiversity anywhere, and by any amount, can be called nature positive. This trend has to be resisted," she argued.

Madeleine Finlay hears from the biodiversity reporter Phoebe Weston about what 'nature positive' meant at Cop15, and what she'd like to see from countries now the final agreement has been made, and speaks to biodiversity professor EJ Milner-Gulland about how to stop the term 'nature positive' becoming another way for companies to greenwash their businesses.
