A Living Vision for the Amazon
World-renowned thinkers explored science-based strategies for strengthening Amazonia鈥檚 resilience in the midst of accelerating environmental crises. Participants shared insights and experiences from the Science Panel for the Amazon, which in 2021 published a first-of-its-kind scientific assessment of the state of the Amazon, current trends, and recommendations for the long-term well-being of the ecosystem and its people. If implemented, the Panel鈥檚 recommendations will promote conservation as well as sustainable development of the region, with a vision of a standing forest, flowing rivers bioeconomy based on local and Indigenous knowledge, technology, and innovation.
This webinar was sponsored by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, the Institute for a Sustainable Earth at George Mason University, and the 乐鱼 体育, and featured special participation from Carlos Nobre (University of S茫o Paulo), Beka Munduruku (Brazilian Indigenous Leader), Luciana Villa Nova Silva (Natura, Inc.), Jeffrey Sachs (Columbia University), and panel moderator Jeremy Campbell (Mason鈥檚 Institute for a Sustainable Earth).
