As negotiators meet to finalise a text for the EU deforestation law, over 140 prominent musicians, artists, directors, actors and activists call on European Union decision-makers to adopt a bold and ambitious new law that protects the world's remaining forests and respects the rights of the Indigenous and local communities who defend them. Following the launch of the open letter on 22 November, with Barbra Streisand, Coldplay, Sting and Jason Momoa among the signatories, many more artists and activists, including Emma Watson, Sienna Miller, Gillian Anderson and Jeremy Strong signed the letter to urge the European Commission, the Council and European Parliament to seize this opportunity for action and to guide the world towards a deforestation-free future.
