The webinar included two presentations by Sam A. Levy (ETH Zürich) presenting work on the role of market share on the effectiveness of zero deforestation commitments in the Brazilian Amazon’s cattle sector, and Janina Grabs (ETH Zürich) discussing effective of performative governance in relation to implementation of zero deforestation commitments in the Indonesian palm oil sector.
