c) Released an updated International Cooperation Framework
The framework aims to support global stakeholders, Member States and third countries in their preparations for the implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation. The published frameworks set out the principles for the methodologies that will be applied to the EUDR benchmarking exercise, which will be used to classify countries as low, standard or high risk.
The vast majority of countries around the world will be classified as “low risk” based on the methodology outlined in the Framework.
