Introduction: Much progress has been made in understanding our biodiversity and climate planetary boundaries and the footprint of global commodity production and consumption. To reach global goals on climate change, biodiversity and human rights, commodity production and demand has to become sustainable, involving no deforestation. The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the UK Environment Act are emerging market requirements towards deforestation-free commodity production and consumption. But to reach our ambitions to have an impact at scale on deforestation and human rights, we also need to work together with all stakeholders and other producer and consumer countries. Also, to advance on rural poverty, biodiversity, and climate change, we need to address the challenges holistically, whereby the landscape level (production, protection and other functions and needs) is considered the most important entry point to enhance enabling conditions.
