Abstract

This essay critically examines the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and its potential to support the climate goals of the Paris Agreement. It explores how the EUDR uses due diligence, supply chain traceability, and risk assessments to curb deforestation-related emissions. While the regulation promises environmental benefits, it faces critiques over its impacts on smallholder farmers, enforcement complexity, and potential market distortions. The analysis considers both regulatory strengths and implementation challenges, concluding that while the EUDR alone cannot resolve global deforestation, it offers a vital mechanism for aligning international trade with sustainable, climate-resilient development.
