- Location: Amazon Forest Manaus City and Tumbira Community, Brasil.

The purpose
Societies are realizing that the climate agenda is too important to be left in the hands of fragile governments captured by interest groups. The world is headed towards a climate crisis, and it is urgent to accelerate business response to it.
The Amazon is vital to Brazil’s future, and to the planet. It is essential in balancing the climate, and its biodiversity is immense – including more than 2,000 fish species, 14,000 plant species and around 1.5 million species of fungi. The region is key to maintaining the rainfall regime that feeds agricultural production, hydroelectric power generation and urban water supply.
The region’s current challenge is to overcome an economy driven by deforestation to achieve an economy focused on valuing the standing forest, creating solutions adapted to the Amazonian reality, focused on people and for the conservation of natural capital. There is vast potential for the Amazon bioeconomy to promote equity, deliver prosperity, foster sustainable production, and protect nature.
