Trade policy must evolve:
🛑 Not just liberalization and efficiency
✅ Incorporate biomass caps, sustainability criteria, and consumption reduction targets
✅ Use tariffs, quotas, and non-tariff measures to support sufficiency-compatible trade
Trade must align with planetary boundaries.

However, the EU continues to liberalize trade in high-impact products.
A known effect is the scale effect:
🔁 Trade liberalization → more production & consumption → more pressure on ecosystems.
This directly undermines sufficiency—increasing pressures at home and abroad.

The core problem:
🧮 EU biomass consumption = 0.92 tC/cap/yr
🌍 Planetary boundary = ~0.32 tC/cap/yr
That’s nearly 3x over the safe limit.
Efficiency improvements alone can’t close this gap—it would require a 4-fold leap, which is scientifically implausible.

The current EUDR risk classification is flawed:
🌍 Brazil, Indonesia = currently classified as standard risk.
Only countries with sanctions (Russia) = high risk
“This has nothing to do with deforestation anymore. It's geopolitical and has no scientific basis.”

Austria’s Climate Minister Totschnig is pushing to weaken the EUDR.
This contradicts his own recent calls for strong climate action.
Weakening the law means:
❌ Legal loopholes
❌ Less control
❌ More global deforestation

Why this matters:
🌍 Austria’s consumption drives 2,000–5,000 ha of deforestation annually – that’s 8–19 football fields per day!
Main culprits:
🥩 Meat (and feed, esp. Soy)
🍫 Chocolate
☕ Coffee
🛢️ Palm oil esp. for Biofuels
🚗 Rubber (e.g. for tires)
