Abstract

AbstractThe term “Global Value Chains” refers to the processes by which value is added across different stages from production to consumption and carried out by actors located in different parts of the world (CCICED in Global green value chains—greening China’s ‘soft commodity’ value chains [EB/OL], 2020 [1]). In the global value chain, the production process is divided and distributed into different countries, with different companies undertaking their own specific tasks. Global value chains have significant advantages in many aspects, but their impacts on the environment cannot be ignored. Because they require huge volumes of raw commodities, sourced from diverse origins, global value chains can have significant negative impacts on biodiversity, climate change, ecological functions and the rights and livelihoods of communities in regions where commodities are produced.
