The Deforestation Action Tracker launch 2023

Watch the launch of Global Canopy’s Deforestation Action Tracker. It's an assessment of over 700 financial institutions with significant climate commitments, on their action on deforestation, conversion, and associated human rights abuses. Tackling deforestation is an essential component of any net-zero strategy.

The launch webinar covers the main findings of the report, including how GFANZ members have performed, who are the biggest movers, and where there are pockets of progress and cause for optimism.
