The paper “The Linkages between Anti-Deforestation with Trade and Investment and Policy Implications for G20 Countries,” co-authored by Paul Baker and Loan Le from International Economics, examines policy measures aimed at incentivising responsible forestry practices, deterring illegal logging, and combating deforestation. It discusses the potential for trade to be a force for positive change in driving sustainability practices and policies on a global scale. With deforestation posing critical environmental challenges worldwide, this study offers actionable insights for the G20 as they shape future policy frameworks.
