EUDR unpacked #1: a deep dive into the current landscape and implications of the regulation (webinar video recording)

In this three-part webinar series, we’ll cut through the noise and tackle these pressing questions. Join us to hear from key experts representing brands, traders, farmers, NGOs and on-the-ground communities.

With the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) deadline now likely to be extended by 12 months, businesses will gain extra time to prepare — but does this delay offer an advantage or merely prolong the uncertainty? Who really benefits from the extra time, and which organisations will suffer losses for trying to get ahead? Will this extension ease the burden, or does it simply push the challenge further down the road?

For the first in the series, this webinar explored the implications of the amended timeline, which now sets the application date for December 30, 2025, for large operators, and June 30, 2026, for micro- and small enterprises. Join industry experts to understand the regulatory landscape, the steps needed to ensure compliance and the implications of the delay.

Hear from: 

• Dr Julian Oram, policy director, Mighty Earth
• Anastasiya Timoshyna, director of the European programme office, TRAFFIC
• Issifu Issaka, cocoa farmer, national president of the Ghana Cooperative Cocoa Farmers Association
• Niels Wielaard, founder and CEO, Satelligence

Moderated by: Ian Welsh, publishing director, Innovation Forum
