Description

SCOPE :
WWF would like to commission a report on assessing China's footprint in the global trade of land-based commodities (Soy, Beef, Palm Oil, Rubber, Maize, Coffee, Cocoa, Tropical Timber) with embedded risk of deforestation and conversion. This report, though not for public disclosure, is intended to help build engagement with government and businesses on addressing the issue of deforestation and land conversion in global supply chains.

DELIVERABLES

A summary and analysis report based on the updated data with updated information and graphs at sub-national level* where possible on traded volumes (broken down by commodity forms), key sectors (company breakdown), estimated land footprint, and deforestation risk analysis. Technical comment and follow up data analysis if needed.

Phase 2: A summary and analysis report based on greenhouse gases and carbon data and graphs at national level associated with the land footprint of commodities traded to China. Technical comment and follow up data analysis if needed.

Phase 3: Development of case studies for specific producer countries covering; level of trade (current & projected) with China, biodiversity risk, government legislation & policies.
