Respon CSOs Indonesia terhadap Kesepakatan Final Regulasi Bebas Deforestasi Uni Eropa

Indonesian civil society organizations argue that the EUDR is an insufficient unilateral measure that fails to address the root causes of deforestation, lacks strong human rights protections, and risks marginalizing smallholders while ignoring the role of financial institutions.

• The EUDR is viewed as an inadequate tool for preventing deforestation and protecting biodiversity or smallholders, as it primarily focuses on cleaning the EU's own supply chains rather than addressing the underlying drivers of forest loss in producing countries.
• The regulation's definitions of deforestation and degradation are considered too narrow; deforestation excludes forest clearing for mining and infrastructure, and the definition of forest excludes agroforestry, which may leave indigenous-managed forests vulnerable to conversion.
• The December 31, 2020 cut-off date is criticized for ignoring massive deforestation that occurred between 2000 and 2020 in producing countries.
• The EUDR is criticized for failing to mandate compliance with international human rights standards, instead relying on the national laws of producing countries where protections for indigenous peoples and local communities are often weak.
• Traceability to the plantation plot is deemed ineffective without public disclosure of supply chain information, particularly in Indonesia where data on Cultivation Rights (HGU) is often withheld.
• The regulation lacks clear cooperation mechanisms, incentives, and support for independent smallholders, which may lead to their exclusion from the EU market.
• The exclusion of financial institutions from due diligence requirements is seen as a failure to address the European-based funding that enables deforestation by agricultural companies.
