The Amazon is at the heart of the planet’s climate balance.
With 20% of the world’s freshwater and the largest continuous tropical forest on Earth, the Amazon biome is essential for regulating the climate, capturing carbon, and maintaining the rainfall cycles that sustain life across the region.
Strengthening regional cooperation is fundamental to address the impacts of climate change in the Amazon through coordinated actions in mitigation, adaptation, risk reduction, and disaster management.
These actions seek to prevent the biome’s point of no return, enhance the resilience of Amazonian ecosystems and populations, and promote sovereign policies grounded in the principles of climate justice and common but differentiated responsibilities.
