I work for a global campaigning/petitioning organization and one of our focuses is climate change.

I'm wondering who the key players are, what is currently being done, whether there's opportunity for public pressure to influence any of the actors, etc.

I'd highly recommend you get in tough with GreenPeace as they're pretty active in this space, not only in pressuring organizations to use sustainable palm oil, but also pushing the RSPO to improve themselves and holding it accountable, too.

I'm sure they have a much better assessment than I could ever make of the worst performers, the biggest players, and the key organizations to target to bring change. Not to mention that if they have campaigns running/planned it would be nice to coordinate with what it sounds like your organization is doing. Annisa Rahmawati (@AnisaHijauDamai) was representing them at this years RSPO european roundtable two weeks ago.

The WWF is also very involved with the RSPO and Palm Oil. Good luck!

Thanks. Looking forward to reading the reply.
