The aim of this event is to discuss how the changing political momentum in Colombia and Brazil is affecting the fate of the Amazon and the challenges that remain to protect the remaining rainforest areas.
The invited speakers will reflect on the meaning of political change in Brazil and Colombia for the environment and for local and indigenous peoples. In addition, we will hear about local initiatives that build opportunities for the diversification and improvement of livelihoods in Ecuador.

The speakers will further discuss how Amazonian countries are addressing the destructive political legacies of the past and present. We invite all participants to discuss more sustainable futures for the Amazon and to what extent we all can support initiatives that transform destructive economic activities to become more environmentally friendly and socially just.
The event is held in English on Zoom.
