The Traceability Tools Navigator, developed by Preferred by Nature and WWF, allows users to compare digital tools for supply chain monitoring. It provides a standardised framework to evaluate traceability and risk assessment capabilities for forest-risk commodities.

This research identifies a global shift in flash drought drivers from precipitation deficits to a compound effect of warming and vegetation greening. Anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing has triggered a surge in these rapid-onset events since 2017, exposing approximately 650 million people and significantly reducing terrestrial carbon productivity.

The Global Forest Goals Report 2026 assesses progress towards 26 targets. While protected areas and management plans have expanded, the world remains off track in halting deforestation and eradicating poverty. The report recommends scaling up innovative financing and strengthening cross-sectoral governance to preserve vital forest ecosystems by 2030.

Trase’s assessment reveals the European Union was exposed to 112,500 hectares of annual deforestation between 2021 and 2023. While palm oil exposure fell 91% since 2014, cocoa and cattle remain significant risks. Effective EUDR implementation is vital to sustain progress, particularly as re-export modelling identifies Germany as highly exposed.

This report maps the exposure of bond issuers to Indonesia’s 2026 fires and subsequent regulatory actions in Indonesia and Singapore. It categorises companies by operational or commercial exposure, highlighting potential financial risks from production losses, certification disputes, and tightening credit conditions for entities linked to transboundary haze.

This research identifies a USD66.8 billion annual gap in tropical forest finance by 2030. It evaluates the Tropical Forest Forever Facility as an innovative model for predictable payments for standing forests and recommends landscape-scale approaches and direct funding for Indigenous Peoples to secure biodiversity and climate stability.

This report assesses eleven Nature-based Solutions projects in Sub-Saharan Africa using the IUCN Global Standard. It evaluates contributions to climate adaptation, biodiversity, and gender equality. Key recommendations include integrating maladaptation risk assessments, extending project timelines, and aligning local actions with national policy frameworks to ensure sustainable resilience.

This report analyses 54 nature investment vehicles to evaluate their effectiveness in mobilising institutional private capital. It identifies sector concentration in forestry and agriculture and highlights gaps in marine ecosystems. The findings emphasise the necessity of blended finance and technical assistance to scale nature-positive investments effectively.

This report examines challenges faced by smallholders under the European Union Deforestation Regulation. Based on a survey of 333 producers, it identifies land tenure, compliance costs, and technical gaps as major barriers. It recommends coordinated support from governments, the private sector, and sustainability organisations to ensure inclusive market access.

The Nature Stocktake by BankTrack evaluates 30 global banks on their biodiversity commitments and exclusion policies. It provides finance professionals with comparative data on bank alignment with the Global Biodiversity Framework and exposure to forest-risk commodities.

This report evaluates carbon dioxide removal and sequestration strategies in five EU member states. It finds that national climate plans often lack strategic rigour, over-rely on declining land sinks, and fail to distinguish between permanent removals and fossil carbon capture. Recommendations focus on binding targets and transparent feasibility assessments.

This research evaluates economic and financial risks to Ethiopia’s coffee sector from the European Union Deforestation Regulation. It identifies potential market exclusion for smallholders, significant foreign exchange losses, and financial vulnerabilities, while recommending integrated incentive mechanisms like carbon credits and improved cooperative structures to support compliance and livelihoods.

This report examines the 2026 Indonesia forest and peatland fires, highlighting the failure of restoration efforts and the impact of corporate entities. It details health crises affecting 12.5 million people, significant carbon emissions, and transboundary haze while demanding stricter legal accountability for regional governments and global commodity producers.

Forests & Finance is a database tracking billions in capital flows to forest-risk commodity companies. It provides transparency on financial links to deforestation and human rights risks.

This research examines rights-based and community-led conservation in Africa, demonstrating that community management on lands under customary tenure is essential for biodiversity. It identifies key success factors, evaluates formal and informal initiatives, and provides recommendations for governments to integrate these approaches into national biodiversity strategies and financing plans.

This white paper examines the integration of Jurisdictional REDD+ (JREDD+) programmes with corporate supply chain sustainability. It identifies pathways for corporate engagement, addresses structural barriers, and provides recommendations for recognising jurisdictional progress within sustainability frameworks to scale investment and enhance forest conservation outcomes in commodity production landscapes.
