Coalition on
Sustainable Timber
MISSION
The Coalition on Sustainable Timber was formed in 2023 with the aim to bring together key stakeholders to collaborate on developing strategies, policies, and initiatives that support the development of favorable legislation to timber trade, promote a sound and proportionate implementation of legislation and support compliance.
EU Legislation on Deforestation-free products
In November 2021, the European Union adopted the Regulation on deforestation-free products (EUDR), repealing the EU Timber regulation. The Regulation aims to curb deforestation in the EU and in third countries by ensuring that the products placed on the EU market have not contributed in any way to deforestation and/or forest degradation. Timber and timber-related products are one of the commodities in the scope of the regulation.
The Regulation should start applying in December 2024.
However, several elements within the EUDR still need to be developed in the upcoming months.
