Project description
The EU’s Voluntary Partnership Agreements (VPAs) with timber-producing countries ensure EU market access for verified legal timber products in return for forest governance reforms. This PhD will for the first time systematically (a) map and (b) explain the considerable amount of variation between the 15 VPAs, as well as (c) assess their impact in timber-producing countries through six work packages.
