Vietnam's ongoing battle to keep illegal timber out of its supply chains
Vietnam has made laudable progress in recent years to shut illicit timber out of its supply chains and so keep access to the lucrative export markets on which its huge furniture industry relies. But new investigations by EIA’s Forests team have revealed that those efforts are in danger of being undermined by high-risk timber entering from neighbouring Cambodia and Laos, with the true nature of these imports hidden behind sophisticated fake paperwork scams. In this episode, Thomas Chung, EIA Forests Campaign Leader on Timber, unpacks the findings of our new report Manufacturing Legality with Senior Press and Communications Officer Paul Newman.

Why tiny microplastics add up to a full-scale invasion across planetary systems
Humans tend to respond to threats we can see, but the world’s mounting plastics pollution crisis isn’t just a matter of what’s visible. In this episode, we take a closer look at microplastics, tiny particles which have been found from the deepest ocean floors to the highest mountain peaks and everywhere inbetween – including in human blood, brains and placental tissue. Joining EIA Senior Press and Communications Officer is special guest Sedat Gündoğdu, a marine biologist and environmental researcher at Türkiye’s Çukurova University, EIA Legal and Policy Specialist Amy Youngman and EIA Senior Lawyer Tim Grabiel.

Breaking the deadlock: Alternative pathways to securing a Global Plastics Treaty
Ongoing negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty effectively ground to halt in Geneva last year when talks ended without an agreement or even a timeline for what happens next. But the process doesn’t need to be left in limbo, held hostage by a small number of petrostates and vested fossil fuel interests intent on blocking it – new research commissioned by EIA shows there are several alternative ways to make progress without the need for a global consensus. In this episode, Chris Dixon, EIA Ocean Programme Leader, and Ocean Campaigner Hannah Hughes join Senior Press and Communications Officer Paul Newman to explore the possibilities.
