Recommendation 41

We recommend that the report of the Government review should be shared widely, including with the relevant EU authorities and Member States preparing for the successor programme to FLEGT-VPA. Lessons learned should be incorporated thoroughly into future UK programmes so as to address most effectively all deforestation activities driven by production of forest risk commodities. Where appropriate the review’s findings should take a country-based approach, analysing the country-specific factors which have contributed to particular outcomes.
