In the aftermath of COP30 in Belém and ahead of critical climate negotiations, the global community needs authentic Amazon perspectives from those who know the territory best. This panel creates a unique platform for Indigenous leaders and Brazilian government officials from across the Amazon basin to address international decision-makers, investors and policy influencers directly.

The event will begin with a 45-minute complimentary pre-event reception from 6:45pm outside the Old Theatre, followed by the main talk. The discussion will explore how Indigenous leadership, territorial stewardship and traditional knowledge contribute to protecting biodiversity, strengthening climate resilience and advancing sustainable development. Speakers will share perspectives on bioeconomy models, risk mitigation strategies, innovative financing mechanisms, and the forest’s role as a global climate solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forest cannot speak for itself. But those who live within it can speak for all of us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
