Seeking to reverse the loss of forests and forest carbon stocks in developing countries, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)1 created the mechanism known as REDD+.2 This was introduced in a simple format at the UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) in 20053 and has since evolved into its current version: reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, plus fostering conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks.4 REDD+ operates on the basis of performancebased payments— that is, payments are conditional on the outcome of a REDD+ action.5 Brazil can benefit from REDD+, given that it holds around 60% of the Amazon’s 5.4 million km2 of tropical forest and is under ongoing landuse pressure.6 Amazonian indigenous territories store 27.1% of the region’s aboveground carbon (28,247 MtC; i.e. 28.247 million tonnes of carbon7) on roughly 30% of the land area.8 The indigenous

New European Union (EU) rules on biofuels have led to mounting tensions between the EU and some of its trading partners. A particularly contentious measure is the ‘freeze and phase‐out’ of certain biofuels in the transport sector with a high indirect land‐use change risk, as introduced by the recast of the Renewable Energy Directive. In light of Indonesia’s recent move to initiate proceedings against the EU at the World Trade Organization (WTO), this article systematically explores relevant key concepts of WTO law and analyses the compatibility of the EU measures with the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT Agreement). While the EU measures are carefully crafted to avoid potential WTO pitfalls—such as applicability of the TBT Agreement—the article identifies several critical aspects that raise doubts about the measure’s compatibility with WTO law. In particular, the seemingly deliberate targeting of palm oil casts doubt on the justification of the measure on environmental grounds.
