This issue highlights CPDG’s participation in events and conduction of research seminars. It also features news on the EUDR’s indirect application in Brazil and the EU-Mercosur agreement. The CPDG is coordinated by FGV Rio Law professor Paula Wojcikiewicz Almeida and has the following lines of research: global regulation; international dispute settlement; global litigation; and climate change and forests. The team in charge of monitoring the EUDR and other extraterritorial norms is composed of researchers Mariana Mariani, Leonardo Rossi, Camilla Rosso, Léa Guillaumier and Paula Strogoff.
