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.

    Bienvenue sur Europe et Globe 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.

    Bienvenue sur Europe et Globe Le podcast qui explore le monde d’aujourd’hui et change notre regard sur les défis de demain L’Europe est le 1er consommateur de cacao au monde. Les pays européens achètent en effet 56% de la production mondiale.

    Welcome to Europe and Globe. The podcast that explores today's world and changes the way we look at tomorrow's challenges 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.

In this episode, let’s dive into a product we all love—cocoa—to see if your favourite chocolate treat is linked to deforestation in Africa. Thank you.

    Forêts: réalités africaines- Episode 3: Le café

    Je vous vois en train de boire une bonne tasse de café : un expresso, un double expresso, un macchiato, un café latte ou un cappuccino. Aujourd'hui, nous allons découvrir ensemble si le contenu de cette bonne tasse aux arômes envoûtants a un impact sur la déforestation. En Afrique, le secteur du café fait vivre directement et indirectement environ 40 millions de personnes tout au long de la chaîne de valeur : elles disposent généralement de 0,5 à 2,5 ha de terres et le nombre de plantations commerciales (contrairement au Brésil ou au Viêt Nam) est limité. Les principaux pays producteurs de café en Afrique sont de loin l'Éthiopie et l'Ouganda, suivis de quelques autres : Kenya, Tanzanie, Cameroun, Burundi, Rwanda, Côte d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone, etc. Comment les secteurs sont-ils organisés et sont-ils prêts à se conformer au règlement zéro déforestation de l'UE (RDUE) ?

    I can see you drinking a nice cup of coffee: an expresso, a double expresso, a macchiato, a café latte, or a cappuccino. Today, we are going to discover together whether the contents of this good cup with its captivating aromas have an impact on deforestation. In Africa, the coffee sector directly and indirectly supports the livelihoods of around 40 million people throughout the value chain: they generally have between 0.5 and 2.5 ha of land and the number of commercial plantations (unlike in Brazil or Vietnam) is limited. The main coffee producing countries in Africa are Ethiopia and Uganda by far, followed by few others: Kenya, Tanzania, Cameroon, Burundi, Rwanda, Côte d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone etc. How are the sectors organised and are they ready to comply with the EU deforestation-free regulation (EUDR)?
