#POAW2023 @josiepips @ForestPeoplesP @GlobalCanopy 🧵1/11 Text: Key challenges around sustainable palm oil production.   Illustration shows oil palm trees in the foreground, with a truck transporting oil palm along a road in the background
Challenges persist around the context of #deforestation, i.e. whether it is legal or illegal depends on forest and land governance in affected regions. Regardless, the implications for emissions, biodiversity, and people remain significant.
