CLICK TO LISTEN:

The presidents of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and France, Emmanuel
Macron, in Belém on Tuesday (Mar. 26) launched a program to invest €1 billion in
bioeconomy projects for Brazil’s Amazon as well as the section of the Amazon in
French Guiana.

The move aims to raise funds through public and private investment in bioeconomy
over the next four years. The action comes as part of the Action Plan on the
Bioeconomy and the Protection of Tropical Forests, signed by both nations.

At the meeting with the French leader, President Lula called on other nations to
contribute to preserving the biome. “We are going to end [deforestation by 2030]
in order to prove to the world that we are going to preserve our Amazon. We want
to convince the world that the nations that deforested in the past should help
the countries that have forests still standing.”

President Macron acknowledged the current Brazilian government’s commitment to
preserving the ecosystem. “I am pleased today to see that President Lula is
protecting the Amazon. The development of the future of indigenous peoples and
biodiversity is not just a question of resistance, it is a cause defended by the
federal government itself.” The French president also commented on the €1
billion investment.

“What we want to do is preserve, increase our knowledge, multiply scientific
cooperation, build strategies to support indigenous peoples, and have joint
investment actions in bioeconomy so it can really grow.”

According to a joint statement released yesterday, the five points of the
program that must be observed by the partners are:

- dialogue between the French and Brazilian administrations on the challenges of
bioeconomy;

- technical and financial partnership between Brazilian public banks, including
the Amazon Bank and the National Bank for Economic and Social Development, in
addition to the French Development Agency, present in both Brazil and French
Guiana;

- the appointment of special coordinators for the most innovative French and
Brazilian companies in bioeconomy;

- a new scientific agreement between France and Brazil, operated by the French
Agricultural Research Center for International Development (CIRAD) and the
Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), which should make it
possible to develop new research projects on sustainable sectors, also in French
Guiana; and

- the creation of a hub for research, investment, and sharing of technology for
bioeconomy, with a focus on building networks of French and Brazilian
universities that can contribute to these themes, strengthening the
French-Brazilian Center for Amazonian Biodiversity.


FURTHER EFFORTS

In the city of Belém, in addition to the plan on the bioeconomy and protection
of tropical forests, the two heads of state also signed another
environment-related document: The Brazil–France Call for Climate Ambition from
Paris to Belém and Beyond.

“We don’t want to turn the Amazon into a sanctuary for humanity. What we want is
to share the exploration and research of our biodiversity wealth with the
world,” President Lula said.

The event also saw the launch of a coalition to combat greenwashing in the
voluntary carbon market.

The leaders also intend to finalize negotiations on Article 6 of the Paris
Agreement by the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku,
Azerbaijan. The aim is to establish a regulated, efficient, and transparent
carbon market.


BIOECONOMY

Bioeconomy in the Amazon is seen as a major driver of sustainable development in
the region, both economically and socially. The model adopts the rational use of
renewable natural resources, forest conservation, and the sustainable production
of goods, energy, and other resources.
