Amazon Basin

Transformational potential:

• Leverage the transformative impact of EU-Amazon Basin cooperation by joining forces with EU Member States, Commission DGs and the JRC
• Improve the capacity of the Amazon Basin countries to mitigate CO₂ emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change, and to stop deforestation and improve the  biodiversity protection

The Team Europe Proposal responds to challenges in the Amazon Basin:

• Related to the deforestation and degradation of the Amazon Forest
• Not covered through national TEIs on green transition, climate change and biodiversity

Activities include:

1. Sustainable management of natural resources through integrated management of landscapes and sustainable land use strategies
2. Inclusive and sustainable growth and livelihoods, including the promotion of transparent and deforestation-free supply chains
3. Environmental governance and human rights
4. Sustainable finance

It covers the Amazon Basin countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela.
