GLF Policy Recommendation 13: Negotiators should encourage sectors to work together for effective monitoring and evaluation

Enhancing sustainability goals requires transparency, effective monitoring and evidence-based impact assessment of commodity supply chain interventions, as well as multi-stakeholder cross-sectoral partnerships.

Negotiators should:

  • Ensure approaches to certification are streamlined so that multiple certification visits do not need to be made to small, rural communities.
  • Encourage assessment of the demand for broader environmental services credits to ensure that they are viable on a market.

What do you think: Are cross-sectoral partnerships a priority negotiators should work on? And how can they encourage such action on different levels?
