Join us at COP16 for a pivotal event that officially launches the Pan-Amazon Network for Bioeconomy, a dynamic alliance uniting over 30 cross-sectoral actors—local producers, indigenous communities, business accelerators, impact investors, financial institutions, research institutions, and civil society organizations—to promote a sustainable locally-led bioeconomy across the Amazon. The Network strategically connects diverse stakeholders and initiatives, fostering collaboration to strengthen livelihoods, conserve biodiversity, and support economic models that prioritize standing forests and flowing rivers. The panel will explore how this integrated approach can elevate bioeconomy as a recognized sector, driving sustainable development and resilience in the region.
