Sociobioeconomy and territorial governance in the Amazon: shared commitments for climate- and water-resilient value chains

This event will focus on how governance strategies along value chains, when designed with a climate and water lens, can build more just and resilient territories. Rather than focusing solely on territorial or sectoral interventions, we propose a multi-actor approach along the value chain—bringing together communities, companies, investors, and public institutions through shared commitments. 

An interactive session will engage participants in exploring four key topics: 

1. ​​​​​​​Present a governance framework for climate- and water-resilient value chains in the Amazon 
2. Share field experiences on building inclusive, nature-based economies 
3. Highlight tools and partnerships for implementation, monitoring, and investment 
4. Discuss the importance of multi-scalar governance, particularly in water-rich regions like the Amazon 

We will showcase real-world cases from the Amazon region that illustrate the importance of: 

• Innovative approaches to value chain promotion or to governance, grounded in local realities but also connecting across scales – from community to basin, national to regional; 

• Multi-stakeholder agreements that align economic, environmental, and social goals; 

• Implementation tools like traceability systems that support climate adaptation and water stewardship.
