Framework to Decrease Deforestation and Land Use Impact of UK's Financial Sector

WWF is commissioning a report to influence discussions ahead of COP26 on mandatory due diligence of the financial sector. The report will look at what model mandatory due diligence standard and framework for finance might look like, from both a corporate policy and a legal framework perspective.

It will also assess existing best practices in the finance sector on corporate due diligence. This piece of work will lay the groundwork for our advocacy over the coming years and provide a foundation for discussions on how to reduce the UK's international climate and environmental footprint.

It will result in a publication, targeted towards policymakers and private sector finance (i.e. banks and investors). Your proposal should be no more than 6 pages (excluding CVs) and relate to the list of 9 points set out in the document.

We request that all responses are returned to us by Friday the 26th February 2021. A decision will be made as soon as possible with a view to the project in March 2021.
