Our panel of experts from politics, research, cocoa farming, companies, and NGOs will explore the impact of the new EU Deforestation Regulation, Switzerland's role in promoting sustainable practices, and the post-colonial context of responsibility. We will also examine the crucial role of consumers in driving change.
