The programme \u2018<em>EU Regulatory Compliance with Landscape Impact: Achieving climate resilient and nature conservation through EU-compliant, sustainable agricultural supply chains, and landscape measures in South America\u2019<\/em> therefore will strengthen and operationalise tools supporting this systematic transition. Moreover, by aligning value-chain transparency with nature-positive production, the project will demonstrate how EUDR compliance can accelerate climate-resilience and biodiversity conservation. The programme also incorporates human and biodiversity perspectives that are not included in the current EU regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>The programme is implemented in four countries: Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay, and Peru and focusses on two transnational landscapes: the Amazon Rainforest and the Greater Chaco. By combining a landscape-based with multi-stakeholder approach in each country, local communities and other stakeholders are at the centre of the project activities and human rights are safeguards, including women\u2019s rights by promoting gender equality as an integral element of climate-resilient and inclusive value chains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p><em>\u2018We have no other choice than to use EUDR as an opportunity for more traceability, legal compliance, recognition of deforestation and conversion-free, sustainable production, and as a vehicle for strengthening land use governance in general to serve climate resilience, biodiversity and social justice.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Heleen van den Hombergh, Senior Expert Agro-Commodities at IUCN NL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market information and monitoring<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>At a regional and international level, communication with companies, NGOs, governments, and other relevant actors will facilitate the establishment of the necessary market information sharing and strengthen monitoring tools.
