The Solution Space:
Finding Sustainable Pathways for the Amazon
Plenary Panel
Tuesday, 2 December (8:00 – 9:00 PT)
Unsustainable anthropogenic activities in recent decades have altered the natural functioning of the Amazon ecosystems, affecting the ability of Amazon to provide important ecosystem services to humans. The continuous losses of biodiversity, the impairment of the carbon sequestration capacity, and a catastrophic tipping point of savannization most of the tropical rainforest can impact human well-being across the world.
In this session, researchers and a representative of traditional communities will discuss the urgency of actions for the Amazon, seeking sustainable solutions based on the dialogue between science and traditional knowledge aimed at building a new vision of sustainable development for the region.
