Just a friendly Wednesday afternoon reminder that submissions on the EU's proposal to roll back environmental laws can be made until 10 September ⬇️

Urgent action must be taken to extend and enforce sanctions. 🔗 bit.ly/4aqVB1U

😮💨Finally exhaling this morning after EU policymakers agreed to drop highly damaging amendments to the #EUDR last night. The law's application date will be delayed by 12 months. The focus must now be on implementation, not further attempts to weaken this important deforestation law.
