<p>The 2012 Commitment on Sustainable Palm Oil has been a success. Nearly all palm
oil imported to the UK is now certified sustainable.</p><p> </p><p>This Government
is building on that success by continuing to support zero-deforestation supply chains
for key commodities, including palm oil. The UK is a signatory to the Amsterdam Declarations,
has endorsed the New York Declaration on Forests and is a member of the Tropical Forest
Alliance 2020, all of which support action to prevent deforestation and encourage
the production of sustainable palm oil.</p><p> </p><p>Through our international climate
finance, the Government is supporting a number of programmes focused on sustainable
palm oil production. Those programmes are designed to strengthen governance, promote
market-based solutions and put in place incentives, policies and actions that support
sustainable production alongside forest protection.</p><p> </p>
