FGV at COP30: Event discusses territorial protection and confrontation of climate change
Meeting at COP House of the People gathers leaders and researchers to discuss indigenous monitoring, drought impacts, and strengthening of territorial resilience
During the official program of the COP House of the People, the event "COP30 in the Amazon: Paths for the protection of territories and confrontation of climate changes" brought together representatives from indigenous organizations, civil society, and academia to discuss strategies for territorial protection and confrontation of the effects of climate change in the region.
Organized by the Center for Sustainability Studies (FGVces), COIAB, Articulação Agro é Fogo, and the Forests and Finance Coalition, the meeting featured discussions on indigenous climate monitoring, fire management, health surveillance, and the role of financing in Amazonian deforestation.
Researcher Kena Chaves from FGVces (FGV EAESP) presented results from her research on the impacts of extreme drought in the Amazon, focusing on women from traditional communities. According to her, "the historical drought of 2023 and 2024 deepened vulnerabilities and exacerbated violence in the territories, especially among women, who face an overload of work and water scarcity in their daily lives."
The study mapped nine categories of impact, including food insecurity, isolation, and difficulties accessing public policies. The resulting recommendations have already been presented to the Civil House and government working groups that formulate strategies to confront climatic extremes in the Amazon.
The event was broadcast live on YouTube. Watch here.
