Congo Basin #deforestation is threatening cacao yields and driving up costs for #cocoa importers. Europe could pay $33.8B more by 2050.

Protecting forests now is cheaper than paying later.

#Brazil’s #Cerrado is being cleared to grow #soy. This dries the region, undermining productivity & global supply chains.

The region would have produced $9.4 billion more soy – nearly 8% of its 2013-2023 output – if clearing stopped in 2008.
