    Description: On November 17, the European Commission proposed a regulation on deforestation-free products. This initiative is groundbreaking in that it tackles legal deforestation next to illegal. What does this legislative proposal mean for commodity-producing countries? In the case of Brazil, effective regulations will depend on a combination of trade, financial, technological, and cooperative measures.

    Description: Die geplante Verordnung der Europäischen Union (EU) über forstwirtschaftliche Risikowaren verlangt von Unternehmen, die in den oder aus dem EU-Markt verkaufen, die Bereitstellung von Geolokalisierungsdaten der Produktionsgebiete. Zur Umsetzung der obligatorischen Sorgfaltspflicht schreiben die Regulierungsbehörden die Nutzung von EU-Datenerfassungs- und Analyseinstrumenten wie dem Raumfahrtprogramm der Union (EGNOS/Galileo und Copernicus) und der EU-Beobachtungsstelle vor. Darüber hinaus empfiehlt der Gesetzentwurf, auf bestehenden öffentlich oder privat verfügbaren Datenquellen und Überwachungsinitiativen aufzubauen. In dieser Arbeit werden digitale Transparenzinitiativen in Brasilien untersucht, um den Beitrag der digitalen Technologien zur Rückverfolgung der sozio-ökologischen Herkunft von Produkten zu verstehen. Als Rohstoffproduzent und Heimat des größten Regenwaldes der Welt bietet der brasilianische Fall Lehren für die Umsetzung der EU-Abholzungsverordnung und bietet gleichzeitig die Möglichkeit, über das Potenzial des Technologie- und Wissenstransfers aus dem globalen Süden nachzudenken. Darüber hinaus können staatliche und nichtstaatliche Akteure durch die Nutzung vorhandener Datensätze und digitaler Artefakte wie in Brasilien digitale Innovationen fördern, den Wert für die Gesellschaft steigern und Wege für eine verstärkte transnationale Zusammenarbeit eröffnen. Die Fallstudie zeigt, dass es mehrere hochwertige offene Datenquellen und digitale Plattformen gibt. Das Haupthindernis für die Umgestaltung des brasilianischen agroindustriellen Komplexes liegt eher in der Verwirklichung institutioneller als technologischer Innovationen. Insbesondere müssen die brasilianische Regierung und die Agrarindustrie von rückwärtsgewandten Narrativen und Handlungen Abstand nehmen, einschließlich des Datenmissbrauchs und der Instrumentalisierung von Maßnahmen im Zusammenhang mit digitalen Technologien, die mit der aktuellen globalen Klimakrise unvereinbar sind. Während Unternehmen, Behörden und die Zivilgesellschaft sich darauf verlassen können sollten, dass die brasilianischen digitalen Initiativen die Einhaltung der Abholzungsvorschriften überprüfen, muss die EU einen kooperativeren Ansatz verfolgen, um Brasilien bei der Bewältigung seiner dringenden politisch-institutionellen Herausforderungen zu unterstützen.
    Description: The upcoming European Union (EU) forest-risk commodities regulation requires companies selling to or from the EU market to provide the geolocation data of production areas. To implement the mandatory due diligence requirements, regulators prescribe using EU data collection and analysis tools such as the Union’s Space programme (EGNOS/Galileo and Copernicus) and the EU Observatory. Furthermore, the draft law recommends building on existing publicly or privately available data sources and monitoring initiatives. This paper examines digital transparency initiatives in Brazil to understand digital technologies’ contribution to tracing products’ socio-environmental origin. As a commodity powerhouse and home to the world’s largest rainforest, the Brazilian case offers lessons for implementing the EU Deforestation Regulation while presenting a chance to reflect on the potential of technology and knowledge transfer from the Global South. Moreover, by building on existing datasets and digital artifacts as those in Brazil, state and non-state actors may foster digital innovation, increase value to society, and open paths for enhanced transnational collaboration. The case study shows several high-quality open data sources and digital platforms exist. The major obstacle to transforming the Brazilian agro-industrial complex lies in realising institutional rather than technological innovations. Specifically, the Brazilian government and agribusiness must abandon retrograde narratives and actions, including data misuse and the instrumentalization of policies related to digital technologies, which are incompatible with the current global climate crisis. While operators, authorities, and civil society should rely on Brazilian digital initiatives to conduct non-deforestation compliance checks, the EU must adopt a more collaborative approach to help Brazil address its pressing political-institutional challenges.

    Description: The German Bundestag is considering a bill that would force companies to manage risks in their global supply chains (GSCs). While the passage of the bill would help to ensure better labour and environmental standards, revisions are still needed in key areas.

    Description: Brazilian geographer Bertha Becker referred to the Amazon region as the oldest periphery of the capitalist world system. Its colonial occupation, or 'frontier economy', is based on the continuous incorporation of available land and the exploitation of their resources – both of which are regarded as infinite. This perspective on the Amazon has existed for centuries and continues to loom large in Brazil today. To meet its growing demand for raw materials, the outside world assumed the rainforest to be of little value, discounting the services that it provides to humankind. This view encourages the rainforest’s destruction and is not sustainable. A model for the sustainable development of the Amazon region is feasible however and could play an important role in Brazil's post-pandemic economic recovery efforts. This raises two questions: 1. What can be done to strengthen perspectives that acknowledge the intrinsic value of intact forested areas? 2. How can narratives that encompass new practices for green growth be strengthened?
