Dear colleagues, Hope this email finds you well. We are delighted to announce that our special issue of *Ecological Economics* on Sustainable Commodity Governance and the Global South is now complete and available online (you can access the virtual SI here <https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/09218009/vsi/10X56G2NV1F>). The SI has nine original studies (see their titles and links below) on various responses of actors in the Global South (including producers, civil society groups, and governments) to the challenge of sustainable commodity production, ranging from their participation in and reinterpretation of transnational rules to their creation of homegrown schemes. By examining the influence of different Southern actors on sustainable commodity governance, we hope to contribute to the ongoing debate about whether environmental and social goals can be achieved by working within global value chains or whether some kinds of reconfiguration of the global economy is required.
