Mission
Forest Peoples Programme supports the rights of peoples who live in forests and depend on them for their livelihoods. We work to create political space for forest peoples to secure their rights, control their lands and decide their own futures.
Strategic Approaches
•Supporting and advancing the exercise of self-determination by indigenous and forest peoples by strengthening community governance, mobilisation and representation, and the creation and use of political spaces where indigenous and forest peoples' voices can be heard.
•Ensuring access to justice by developing and using accountability and redress mechanisms in both public and private institutions that are directly accessible to indigenous and forest peoples and their communities.
•Partnered advocacy towards legal and policy reform and the development of best practice and standards consistent with indigenous and forest peoples' rights in international law.
•Networking, sharing information and building (...)Main EU files targeted
- Regulation on the making available on the Union market as well as export from the Union of certain
commodities and products associated with deforestation and forest degradation and repealing
Regulation (EU Deforestation Regulation)
- Proposal for a Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence
- Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)
- Forest Partnerships
- Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan and Voluntary Partnership Agreements

- Proposal for a Regulation on establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials
FPP tracks and works in particular on the Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Action Plan, adopted by the EU in 2003. FPP works with partner organisations in timber producing countries (including Indonesia, Guyana, DRC and others) to support the establishment of effective and comprehensive legal structures to enable the FLEGT programme to reach into illegal timber trade, and to support work on community monitoring of illegal timber.
FPP also works on the soon to be adopted EU regulation on deforestation-free products (EUDR), the EU directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence (CSDDD), the EU directive on Corporate Sustainability Reporting (CSRD) and the associated European Corporate Sustainability Standards, as well as Forest Partnerships
FPP also works to advance discussions within the European Union and European Commission on the establishment of an EU Action Plan on Deforestation and forest Degradation (EU-APDD).

This include, briefings on the proposed EU regulation on deforestation-free products and the EU directive on corporate sustainability due diligence, partners blog on the limits of the use of certification schemes in companies' due diligence processes, responses to public consultation on the european sustainbility reporting standards, as well as public events, together with other EU NGOs, to push for more ambitious policies to halt global deforestation and better protection for the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities affected by EU consumptionOther activities

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
