Climate: Brazil is home to the summit of the Amazon
Tuesday, August 8, 2023 - 3:28 p.m.
On the initiative of Brazilian President Lula da Silva, a summit bringing together the countries of the Amazon opened on August 8 in Belém, in the hope of finding concrete solutions against global warming.
The summit will bring together the eight member countries of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (OTCA), created in 1995 to protect the rainforest: Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru and Suriname.
The Republic of Congo, which is also home to an important tropical forest, is represented at the highest peak of the state by Denis Sassou N'Guesso, president of the Congo Basin Climate Commission. Indeed, the latter has been leading an ecological fight for decades for the defense of nature, the protection of the environment and for the benefit of sustainable development, peace and future generations.
The Amazon summit is an opportunity to discuss common strategies to combat deforestation and promote sustainable development in this region, which is home to around 10% of the planet's biodiversity. It is also a question of revitalizing the ACTO, whose origins date back to 1979, and of presenting a common vision of the countries of this region.
The eight Amazonian countries also want to define a common position to speak with one voice at the next UN meeting on climate change, COP28, which is due to take place in November in Dubai.
Many indigenous leaders also met in Belém. They hope that their claims on the right to land will be heard.
At the head of Brazil since January, President Lula has made the protection of the immense tropical forest his priority, since the country is home to 60% of the Amazon forest. He pledged to put an end to deforestation, which has increased sharply, by 2030.

MM and others. Have you guys any thoughts on just why, at this moment in time, none, as far as we are aware, of our "so called frontrunners/favourites" have either put in a low ball offer to get the ball rolling, or alternatively, a "super offer" to blow the opposition out of the water yet. With all their financial clout, there is no way that they are too worried about the cost savings currently being costed by the Chinese. Why no sign, again, as far as were are aware, of FOMO. OR do you think it is simply a case of each waiting for the others to make the first move?
