The FGV Rio Law’s Centre for Global Law (CPDG) and the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on EU-LA Global Challenges (CEJM), co-funded by the European Union, have released the January edition of its Newsletter, produced as a result of the Project “Monitoring the Regulatory Impact of the European Union’s new regulation on deforestation-free products (EUDR) in Brazil”, funded by the Instituto Clima e Sociedade (iCS), which seeks to analyse the challenges and impact of the EUDR in Brazil.
This issue highlights CPDG’s participation in events and conduction of research seminars, as well as its COP30 coverage and the release of the book “The Normative and Regulatory Challenges for the Implementation of the European Deforestation-Free Regulation in Third Affected Countries: a Brazilian Case Study.” It also features news on the EUDR’s simplification and postponement measures, the EU-Mercosur agreement, and developments related to COP30.
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, Bianca Martins, Felipe Nobre, Caroline Gonçalves, Paula Strogoff and Leonardo Rossi.
