Jurisdictional Approach

Why do we go for a Jurisdictional Approach in our efforts to achieve sustainable production of commodities and remove drivers of deforestation and environmental damage?
 

  • Promotes shared values among stakeholders.

  • Matches administrative boundaries of governments.

  • Addresses sustainability through collective actions.

  • Looks beyond site-based boundaries, across different land-uses and ownership.

  • Promotes governments to work in collaboration with industry and civil society.
