Igarape Institute, Sustainable Development and the Rule of Law
Founded in 2010, the Igarape Institute works on security and democracy with a focus on digital, climate, and public interests. Since 2017, the Institute has mapped the scope, scale and dynamics of environmental crime in the Amazon in order to help strengthen the rule of law and activate sustainable development solutions. Their research shows how persistent corruption, illicit financial activities and environmental crime continue to play an important role in deforestation, degrading the environment and impacting the lives and livelihoods of those calling the Amazon home. Join us to meet Igarape co-founder, Ilona Szabó de Carvalho, to discuss these issues and more. As a Brazilian, Ilona is a globally recognized civic entrepreneur, columnist and podcaster. She’s currently a member of the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Advisory Board on Effective Multilateralism, an affiliate scholar at Princeton University, a former Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum and a fellow at Columbia University.
