While the myriad benefits of palm oil as a food, makeup, and cleaning product additive drive its demand, globally, the palm oil industry remains largely unsustainable and unregulated. The negative externalities of palm oil production are diverse and devastating to tropical ecosystem integrity and human livelihoods in palm oil nations. Given the current trend in increasing sustainability and transparency in global supply chains, we suggest that sustainability policy reforms are feasible and have the potential to promote 21st century U.S. and international sustainability standards. Polycentric governance may improve the attainment of sustainable global palm oil standards with a set of rules that interact across linear and nonlinear hierarchies and structures, thereby improving collaboration efforts, and increasing connectivity and learning across scales and cultures. Transformations towards sustainability in international palm oil governance has the potential to make valuable contributions to global sustainable development and improve the prosperity of poor rural communities in the tropics by providing a framework for achieving palm oil trade transparency and aligning the sustainability goals across a range of actors.

奥利奥与红毛猩猩:全球棕榈油行业中可持续性转型和非等级多中心治理的需求

尽管棕榈油作为食品,化妆品和清洁产品添加剂的无数好处推动了其需求,但在全球范围内,棕榈油行业在很大程度上仍不可持续且不受监管。棕榈油生产的负面外部性是多种多样的,并且破坏了棕榈油国家的热带生态系统完整性和人类生计。考虑到当前全球供应链中可持续性和透明度不断提高的趋势,我们建议可持续性政策改革是可行的,并且有可能促进21世纪美国和国际可持续性标准的发展。多中心治理可以通过一系列在线性和非线性层次结构之间相互作用的规则来改善可持续棕榈油全球标准的实现,从而改善协作力度,并在各种规模和文化中增强连接性和学习能力。通过提供实现棕榈油贸易透明性和使一系列参与者协调可持续性目标的框架,国际棕榈油治理中向可持续性的转变有可能为全球可持续发展做出重要贡献,并改善热带贫困农村社区的繁荣。 。
