摘要

可持续性认证迅速获得重视，并成为许多行业的标准，但对其标准潜在的意外后果的了解仍然有限。在这里，我们使用欧洲航天局的多光谱图像卫星数据结合经济和位置数据来调查棕榈油生产的认证过程是否会产生意想不到的后果。我们的研究结果表明，在获得认证之前和之后，人工林效率都有所下降。我们的研究结果强调了考虑可持续性认证在其直接目标和标准之外可能产生的意外后果的重要性。

Sustainable palm oil certification inadvertently affects production efficiency in Malaysia.

Sustainability certifications have rapidly gained prominence and become standards across many industries, yet knowledge about the potential unintended consequences of their criteria remains limited. Here, we use European Space Agency multispectral imagery satellite data in combination with economic and location data to investigate whether the certification process for palm oil production results in unintended consequences. Our results indicate decreases in plantation efficiency both prior to and following the certification obtainment. Our findings highlight the importance of considering possible unintended consequences of sustainability certifications beyond their immediate goals and criteria.
