The legislative proposal on deforestation and its impact assessment explicitly undertakes the commitment of launching a study with view to extending the product scope to additional derived products within the six commodities initially covered in the initiative (beef, palm oil, soy, wood, cocoa, and coffee).

The Regulation aims at eliminating deforestation driven by EU consumption of seven agricultural commodities: rubber, soy, beef, palm oil, wood, cocoa and coffee, and some of their derived products whether they are produced in the EU or imported. The new rules will help to ensure that the products that EU citizens buy, use and consume on the EU market, do not contribute to global deforestation and forest degradation.

Overall, this work will help the UKRI IUK Urban Systems team identify where its future strategy may go and where it may be able to use its resources to target certain challenges. It will also allow places to identify where they can have the maximum impact in resolving current and future challenges.   The first part of this project is producing a report summarising the work which has already been done looking at the future of our towns and cities and identifying current trends as a result of this synthesis. This streamlined report will identify the key themes and trends. UKRI IUK then expect these trends to be further evaluated within the report, with a more place-specific outlook. This means a taxonomy/classification mechanism of towns and cities being adopted, if a suitable categorisation mechanism already exists, or created. Thereby, each classification will have its key focal themes/trends specified. For the themes and trends, the potential resultant innovation...
