Tropical forests are at the front line of sustainable development, where critical trade-offs need to be negotiated between climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, food production and economic development. SEI research work on tropical forests ranges from ecological research to groundbreaking data-driven transparency tools linking impacts of deforestation to global companies and consumer markets.
