O painel “Floresta em pé e saúde planetária” abriu a programação organizada pela Concertação na Semana do Clima de Nova Iorque (Climate Group). O evento situou a Amazônia dentro da perspectiva de que o bem-estar das pessoas depende da saúde dos sistemas naturais que habitamos. As discussões abordaram soluções transversais, baseadas em capacidades territoriais e inovações comunitárias, e em como aproximar conhecimento científico e tradicional para ampliá-las. Na abertura, Lívia Pagotto, a secretária-executiva da rede, destacou que, até 2050, as mudanças climáticas sobrecarregarão os sistemas de saúde globais. E, nesse contexto, a Concertação está articulando propostas para posicionar a Amazônia como referência para uma saúde mais justa e inclusiva. O encontro contou com a participação de Carlos A. Nobre (membro do Planetary Guardians e do Science Panel for the Amazon), que alertou para a redução da janela de tempo para intervenções climáticas. Já Hugo Aguilaniu (Instituto Serrapilheira) e Soumya Swaminathan (International Science Council) relataram que ambas as entidades tiveram sucesso ao colocar cientistas e indígenas para trabalharem juntos. Por sua vez, Marcia Castro (Harvard University) falou sobre o potencial do SUS, enquanto Helen Clark (Our Common Air) destacou os impactos da poluição do ar. Já Abhishek Jain (Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW)) ressaltou a importância de se estabelecer conexões claras entre saúde, prevenção, biodiversidade, produtividade e economia. A mediação ficou a cargo de Izabella Teixeira (UN Environment Programme), para quem "o Brasil precisa se unir aos principais atores globais e contar com a sociedade civil para desenvolver soluções inovadoras". A agenda da Concertação na Semana do Clima continua. Acompanhe nossas redes para saber mais! #umaconcertacaopelaamazonia #amazonconcertation #concertacaoamazonia #climateweeknyc #climateweek

🚨 Public Consultation 🚨 Protected Areas (PA) and Indigenous Territories (ITs) are pillars for Amazonian conservation, climate stability, and sustainable livelihoods. However, they face increasing threats due to deforestation, climate change, and weakening environmental protections. Our latest Policy Brief, “Protected Areas and Indigenous Territories: Pillars for Achieving Conservation Goals in the Amazon”, explores their importance and offers key recommendations. 🗓️ Deadline: October 1, 2024 📥 Download & share your feedback: https://lnkd.in/ebmj8Nh5 📧 More info: [email protected] #TheAmazonWeWant
