Overview
- The plan formalizes a Special Commission of environment ministers supported by a technical‑scientific monitoring panel to align policies across the eight Amazon countries.
- OTCA will receive R$55 million from the Amazon Fund via BNDES, with INPE providing technology transfer to strengthen joint forest monitoring and prevention of deforestation.
- An indigenous peoples mechanism was created with equal representation for governments and indigenous leaders, assigning one representative per country for a 16‑member body.
- Measures under way target cross‑border environmental crime, including an advanced Federal Police base financed by the Amazon Fund and efforts to connect protected areas and build resilient green infrastructure.
- Marina Silva said Brazil will lead a roadmap to end deforestation and fossil‑fuel dependence, citing about a 50% drop in Amazon deforestation in roughly three and a half years, and she underscored non‑intervention regarding U.S.–Venezuela tensions.
