Illegal logging contributes up to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, poses a detriment to indigenous communities in developing nations, and results in job loss for workers in the U.S. pulp and paper industry. This workshop will discuss how the labor, environmental and business communities are all working together to advance polices to prevent illegal logging and create a more sustainable paper industry.
