Welcome to the United Nations
UN SDSN Association
The Amazon is one of the regions most affected by the COVID-19 crisis and has also long been approaching a tipping point of no return. The Amazon's ecosystem services are threatened, which could lead to major humanitarian and environmental crises, including future pandemics and catastrophic global climate change impacts. This event will highlight how the Amazon has been affected and discuss potential solutions to build resilience, avoid future pandemics, avoid irreversible tipping points and advance sustainable development pathways—including restoration, investments in science, technology, innovation, and bioeconomy.
