Global Canopy and other members of the UK NGO Forest Coalition, the Corporate Justice Coalition, Fairtrade Foundation, Environmental Justice Foundation, Friends of the Earth England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and Greenpeace are calling on the UK government to increase the protection for tropical forests and forest communities in the UK Environment Bill by extending due diligence requirements to include all deforestation, to include protection for human rights, to strengthen the review procedure and to extend due diligence requirements to financial institutions. The Environment Bill has its second reading in the House of Lords on 7 June 2021.
