A new report prepared by Systemiq for AYA Earth Partners has identified how Brazil can become the biggest engine of green growth, leading the global race to a net zero carbon economy from the Amazon to the world.

By 2030, Brazil can become the first major economy – whether middle or high-income – to achieve net zero while at the same time boosting economic growth. “The Amazon’s Marathon: Brazil to lead a low-carbon economy from the Amazon to the world”, is an economic development plan providing an in-depth analysis of the region’s potential by calculating the economic opportunity behind the greenhouse gas emission mitigation strategy. It highlights several scalable projects that promote a new, nature-based, people-centred and sustainable approach.
