ROBIN WOOD<p>Derzeit sind die Koalitionsverhandlungen in vollem Gange und es gibt etliche Punkte, die wir kritisch sehen. So zum Beispiel die Pläne zu Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichten:</p><p>Die CDU schreibt: „Zudem werden wir […] das Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz abschaffen […].“<br>und: <br>„Unnötige Belastungen von europäischer Ebene [, etwa durch die […] Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung (CSRD), die Lieferkettensorgfaltspflicht (CSDDD), die Entwaldungsverordnung (EUDR) […] verhindern wir.“</p><p>So geht das nicht!

BellingenNSW<p>Human rights and environmental violations throughout Australian supply chains ?<br>Creating a mandatory human rights due diligence regime for Australian companies </p><p>"We analysed the human rights commitments of 25 of the top companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), including some of our largest banks and mining companies."</p><p>"We found Australian companies have a long way to go in “knowing and showing” a commitment to respect human rights, suggesting an urgent need for reform...It is clear from our research that many large Australian companies are not operating in line with international standards."</p><p>"One response could be for Australia to follow the European Union’s lead and create a mandatory human rights due diligence regime. Australian companies must take proactive steps to comply with international standards. Our findings suggest the government should enact a stronger and broader mandatory human rights due diligence law covering all human rights.

Some are even detrimental to achieving environmental goals – such as the MSC fish label or the RSPO palm oil label.</p><p><strong>Quality Seals, Certification Labels, and Organic Brands</strong></p><p>The analysis of quality labels and brands, particularly those relevant to climate and the environment, focused on four key areas:</p><ul><li>Standards and scope of requirements</li><li>Labelling and distinguishability</li><li>Traceability, transparency, and control</li><li>Trustworthiness and credibility</li></ul><p><strong>Based on these criteria, the labels were categorised into:</strong></p><ul><li>Highly trustworthy and particularly environmentally friendly</li><li>Trustworthy and environmentally friendly</li><li>Conditionally trustworthy with moderate environmental benefits</li><li>Barely trustworthy with little or no environmental benefits</li><li>Absolutely untrustworthy and contributing to environmental destruction</li></ul><p><strong>Labels and Certifications for Other Areas</strong></p><p>For certification labels that do not primarily focus on environmental standards but instead prioritise animal welfare, social standards, or other aspects, a broader classification was used.

However, our oceans are already severely overfished. The only truly sustainable choice is to stop buying and consuming seafood and predatory fish altogether.</p><p><strong>Greenpeace.

The paper emphasizes that in addition to remote sensing monitoring, supply chain transparency and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/traceability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>traceability</span></a> are key to preventing deforestation-linked products from reaching the market.</p><p>High-resolution imagery provides the detail needed to support accurate <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/mapping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mapping</span></a> of commodity, helping us distinguish between actual natural forest and tree-crop <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/commodities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>commodities</span></a> like coffee. By combining <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/multiple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>multiple</span></a> datasets, rather than relying on a single source, we improve the accuracy of deforestation and degradation alerts, ensuring they reliably target areas of true concern without mistakenly flagging sustainable land uses.
