Forest-friendly Export Opportunities of the Brazilian Amazon
One of the biggest questions for the future of the Amazon is how to boost regenerative and low-carbon economic development. While many responses involve the search for new products or markets, Amazon has great room for expansion in the markets of the products its companies already export. What are the market opportunities? How will local Amazonian governments expedite them? What regulations can be applied for the enforcement of labor, environmental, food safety, and other issues? How can governments promote economic development despite certain restrictions? Join us to learn and meet Salo Coslovsky, an Associate Professor at New York University and an affiliated researcher with the Amazonia 2030 project. At NYU, he teaches courses related to government agencies, national development strategies, and local economic development. He conducted his undergraduate studies at FGV-SP, masters at the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy, and his doctorate at MIT.
