A Brazilian Coalition of Companies and Environmentalists Working on Sustainable Land Management and Deforestation
The Brazilian Coalition on Climate, Forests and Agriculture (Coalizao BR) is a movement of 300+ groups from academia, civil society, finance, and the private sector. Created in 2014, they work on nature protection, conservation, agriculture, climate change adaptation, and sustainable use of natural and planted forests. The coalition collaborates on deforestation prevention, federal bioeconomy policy, green finance promotion, carbon market development, ecosystem restoration, and Forest Code implementation. How can the Amazon help Brazil become a low-carbon economic development leader? How can Brazil reverse the upward trend of deforestation? How important is it for the private sector to get involved? Join us to meet the Coalition’s Co-Facilitator, Rachel Biderman, the Senior Vice President of the Americas for Conservation International.
