Sustainable Economy

Thematic Axes

The Amazon needs an economy that generates prosperity without destroying the forest.

This axis seeks to advance a regional sustainable development agenda, grounded in the responsible use of biodiversity, technological innovation, and the value of traditional knowledge.

The goal is to strengthen inclusive and sustainable value chains that ensure well-being, food sovereignty, and dignified economic alternatives for Amazonian populations — always in harmony with ecosystem conservation.
