  • AIDESEP presented an 11-point Agenda Climática calling for direct financing to Indigenous territories and launched a REDD+ Indigenous Jurisdictional program, with its SAAT early‑warning system highlighted as a community‑driven monitoring model.
  • WWF released the Amazon Footprint Report, a regional analysis linking expansion of beef, soy, palm oil, rice, and maize production and consumption to deforestation across the basin.
  • Delegates elevated an international declaration on information integrity intended to counter disinformation and strengthen transparency in climate decision‑making.
