  • Summary

  • Welcome to Europe and Globe. The podcast that explores today's world and changes the way we look at tomorrow's challenges Just imagine. You're savouring a piece of chocolate, drinking your morning coffee, writing on a paper or using beauty products to look after yourself. Have you ever wondered what these everyday products have in common? We don't always ask ourselves questions about what we consume and yet, yes, all these products can have an impact on deforestation. On May 31, 2023, the European Parliament and the Council adopted the Deforestation-free Regulation (the EUDR). We're going to look at the different sectors concerned, and in particular the products we import from Africa that may be affected by the new European regulation. This European Union deforestation-free regulation covers a multitude of everyday products. Cocoa, coffee, soy, palm oil, rubber, beef, wood... But also, derived products that may not be obvious at first glance such as chocolate, leather, paper and car tires. This Deforestation-free Regulation is sparking both enthusiasm and concerns. Its aim is to ensure that the operators who grow, process or buy these products comply with the laws of the producing countries, while guaranteeing that companies and smallholders are not the big losers under this new legislation. How can we act on global deforestation while considering the realities and constraints of smallholder farmers, in Africa and elsewhere? Could this regulation really change something? We'll be talking about this in the next few episodes. We'll take a look at a number of sectors to give you a better understanding of the issues at stake and the state of readiness of the value chains. We'll talk about the different commodities affected by the EU deforestation-free regulation. And we'll travel here and there, to Côte d'Ivoire, Uganda, Namibia, South Africa, Liberia, Congo Brazzaville, Togo, Cameroon, DRC and elsewhere on the African continent. Hosted by Ausha.

    Le podcast qui explore le monde d’aujourd’hui et change notre regard sur les défis de demain


    Dans ce premier épisode, nous allons expliquer ce qu'est le Règlement zéro déforestation de l'Union européenne (RDUE) qui devient obligatoire le 1er janvier 2026, voir qu'elles vont être les nouvelles règles du jeu et comment elles vont dans le sens du Pacte vert européen.


    Puis nous verrons quelles sont les plus grandes forêts du continent africain et en quoi elles peuvent être affectées par la déforestation et quels sont les enjeux auxquels sont confrontés tous les gouvernements pour développer des systèmes alimentaires nécessaires pour répondre aux besoins d'une population grandissante.


    Enfin nous expliquerons comment se conformer au Règlement zéro déforestation (RDUE) qui demande aux entreprises de répondre à de nombreux indicateurs, à respecter les lois des pays producteurs et à avoir tracer les produits jusqu'à la parcelle d'origine.

    L’Europe est le 1er consommateur de cacao au monde. Les pays européens achètent en effet 56% de la production mondiale. Si nous comparons notre consommation avec celle d’autres pays : on se rend compte que les Allemands mangent 11 kgs de chocolat par an, les Français 3kgs et les Indiens et les Chinois seulement 200 grammes.

    Dans cet épisode, nous allons nous intéresser à ce produit, ô combien apprécié de tous : le cacao. Nous allons tenter de savoir si votre tablette de chocolat préférée a un impact sur la déforestation en Afrique.

    Welcome to Europe and Globe.

    In this first episode, we'll explain the European Union's Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR), which will become mandatory on January 1, 2026. We'll see what the new rules of the game will be, and how they align with the European Green Deal.


    We'll then look at the largest forests on the African continent and how they can be affected by deforestation. We'll also explore the challenges facing all governments in developing the food systems needed to meet the needs of a growing population.


    Finally, we'll explain how to comply with the EU Deforestation-free Regulation (EUDR), which requires companies to meet numerous indicators, respect the laws of producing countries, and trace products back to the plot of origin.
