Year One: Highlights from the Good Growth Partnership
The Good Growth Partnership is pioneering a new approach to cultivating sustainability throughout the commodity supply chain. As a result, it is generating new knowledge and lessons about the ways we can improve the production, demand and financing of soy, beef and palm oil.
This report highlights the significant gains and impacts already observable one year into its implementation.

Reducing deforestation in commodity supply chains as temperatures rise
In recent years, many major producers and buyers of agricultural commodities have made ambitious commitments to eliminate deforestation from their supply chains. Yet, it is now clear that even if they meet their own commitments, deforestation will continue and many of the other underlying environmental and social challenges will also remain.
Unlocking economic growth through integrated natural resource planning and governance
Burkina Faso, a landlocked country in the West African Sahel, includes sparse and dry forests, woodlands, wooded and shrub savannas, and a large desert area to the North. The country relies heavily on agriculture, yet faces shrinking arable land and increasing soil degradation. Enhancing factors such as climate change and rising demand for land and natural resources in general are creating a downward cycle from which forest degradation appears as one of the particularly challenging consequences.
International Day of Forests 2018: Halting deforestation in the Amazon
Twenty years ago, the fate of the Amazonian rainforest was a cause celèbre – and many environmentalists believed it to be a lost one. After decades of rapid deforestation, peaking in the 1990s, prophets of doom were beginning to draft obituaries for the world's largest tropical forest.
Now it is being celebrated in a different way. Over the intervening period, the rate of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has fallen by more than two thirds. And though the battle for the forest's future is far from over, it has begun to become a symbol of hope, not despair.
GEF-funded project in Zambia addresses key drivers of deforestation
Earlier this month, the World Bank approved a new $33 million project, funded in part by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), to improve sustainable rural livelihoods and forest protection in Zambia.
Creating a future for healthy forests in Bhutan
It is a small country in the distant Himalayas, known for being one of the happiest places on Earth. But Bhutan also is one of the most important players in the global fight against climate change.
Bhutan’s ranking in this regard is due to it being the only country in the world to commit to remaining carbon neutral, meaning it absorbs as much carbon dioxide as it emits into the atmosphere.
