Thanks to the organisers of the Nature-Based Solutions Initiative (more about that soon!), I am back to the UK, joining the London Climate Action Week (LCAW) this week. We, from WRI Brasil, together with The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), are organising an event this Thursday that will focus on how Brazil could shape a new development model for the Amazon, giving special relevance to an inclusive bioeconomy, local and traditional knowledge, environmental services provided by the biome while also fostering innovation and its creative economy. We will also discuss what financial mechanisms are needed, the opportunities and the challenges that exist in the country and in the world. Brazil has now a commitment to zeroing deforestation until 2030, scientists recommend that we not only stop deforestation, but also restore the biome, in particular the Arc of Deforestation. It’s time to change course and generate a new future for this precious megadiverse forest and its incredible people. I am very grateful having in this event with me Joana Setzer, from LSE; Alexandria Reid, from Global Witness; and Ana Yang, from Chatham House. 📅 Date: Thursday 27 June, 10:00-11:30 (GMT+1) 📍 Location: London School of Economics (LSE) 🔗 Register now: https://bit.ly/LCAWamazon Pls join us for a pivotal discussion on Amazon's future! 🌎🌿 #ClimateAction #LCAW #Amazonforest #bioeconomy

🌱 Today, we had a productive meeting to discuss our vision for 2025 at Instituto Orizon Social!   We’re excited about what lies ahead for the Institute, especially the deployment of our new projects next year, the identification of young talents, and the opportunity we have to foster their growth through education, skill development, and leadership programs. By engaging these future leaders, we aim to cultivate a strong sense of environmental stewardship, and a commitment to circular economy principles and decarbonization within their communities. As we move forward, we’re dedicated to creating opportunities for youth to take an active role in sustainability initiatives.   By partnering with local organizations and schools and engaging in the development of co-benefits for Orizon Valorização de Resíduos' Carbon Credits Projects, we aim to position Instituto Orizon Social as a leader in driving youth engagement and empowerment. We are sure that, together, we can shape a brighter future where young voices and talents are at the forefront of positive change!   #InstitutoOrizonSocial #SomosOrizon #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #Decarbonization #2025Planning

As I promised, I will be doing interviews with different professionals who are part of this network, hoping that these interviews would bring an overview of Brazil seen through their experiences. And today's interviewee is Walter Fawcett. He is a Lyric Tenor at Teatro Municipal de São Paulo, Bachelor of Music and Music performance from Gordon College, Boston/USA, who will share his experience. Catia Soares: How did you discover your musical calling? Tell us a little about your journey. Walter Fawcett: When I was a teenager, I happened to imitate in jest an opera singer I knew. My mother overheard me and got excited about teaching me the skills of a classical singer. I ended up studying music performance, and then the doors started opening. CS: You work in one of the most recognized classical music places in the country. What are the main differences you notice between the work produced here and abroad? WF: The work produced here varies according to our guest regisseurs since we don’t have a house team of them. Nonetheless we manage to do excellent work that usually goes beyond what it is asked for. CS: Who are the main names in Brazilian Classical Music? What works do you find interesting to know? WF: For directors, I’d say John Neschling, Luis Fernando Malheiro, Mario Zaccaro, Isaac Karabtchevsky. No better Brazilian singer than Eliane Coelho. There are excellent instrumentalists, too many to mention. CS: What advice would you give to anyone wanting to pursue a career in music? WF: Pursue beauty and excellence. We are going through a dark period of deconstruction in the music world; good musicians should seek better schools, better instructors either in Brazil, or overseas. CS: What is your most important professional goal today and what are your future projects? WF: I want to move into stage and choral directing. I long to teach young people, leading them away from their cell-phones and making thinkers out of them by putting them on stage. #linkedin #career

Title: The Prospects and Challenges of G20 Brazil As global leaders once again convene on the international stage for the G20 summit, attention is pivoted towards Brazil, one of the forum's permanent members. Brazil's position in this elite club of economic powerhouses serves as a testament to its economic capabilities and potential implications it has on global economic trends. • Brazil’s Notable Achievements Indeed, Brazil's economic journey is something to be lauded. The nation's economic strength, bolstered by its success in the agriculture and mining sectors, alongside robust consumer spending, has transformed it into a dominant South American economic force. • The Nation’s Economic Dynamics However, the nation's economic dynamics indicate a complex reality. The juxtaposition of a volatile economic base and a vastly diverse social structure, marked by striking income inequality, are challenges that Brazil is currently grappling with. • Policymaking in Brazil: Effective policymaking, robust financial management and a commitment to inclusive growth have become central to Brazil's economic strategy. Brazil’s potential lies in its demographic dividend, abundant natural resources, and strategic global positioning. Leveraging these factors effectively can potentially catapult Brazil into a new era of economic prosperity. •Role in the G20: As a member of the G20, Brazil holds a significant role in fostering global economic cooperation. The country's substantial contributions to international discussions and multilateral decision-making processes are key for shaping the global economic order and addressing international issues. • G20: Platform for Collaboration The G20 offers an unparalleled platform for global economic dialogue. For Brazil, it presents a unique opportunity to share its experiences, learn from peers, and collaborate on common objectives to foster global growth and stability. However, Brazil’s role extends beyond its borders. As a representative for South American countries, Brazil's voice in the G20 aids in bringing Latin American economic issues to the forefront of these high-stake discussions. Undoubtedly, the road ahead is not without challenges. Overcoming economic headwinds, reducing disparities, and maintaining sustainable growth require concerted efforts and well-calibrated strategies. The G20 forum is an indispensable ally in Brazil's journey, providing opportunities for learning, networking, and collaborating. In the final analysis, Brazil's success will be marked not only by its economic prosperity but also by its effective participation in shaping global economic narratives at the G20. #G20Brazil #EconomicStrategy #GlobalGrowth

NEW: "KPTL venture fund will expand Amazon bioeconomy investments beyond Brazil" The Amazonia Regenerate Accelerator and Investment Fund, the 10th fund from Brazilian fund manager KPTL, takes the manager’s climate and forest tech strategy beyond Brazil to Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Guyana and Suriname. The fund has raised $11 million toward a targeted $30 million, with an anchor investment from IDB Lab, the venture arm of the Inter American Development Bank. “If there is a solution that works in Colombia, it probably works in the Brazilian Amazon as well,” KPTL’s Danilo Z. tells ImpactAlpha. He said one aim of the fund is to increase cross-country collaboration. “We are neighbors that need to work together.” Up now on ImpactAlpha: #ImpactAlphaLatinAmerica https://lnkd.in/gBJWhKMy

Ever on the pulse of global decision-making, all eyes are becoming increasingly trained onto the much-anticipated G20 Brazil 2024 Summit. As we gravitate towards this emblematic congregation of world powers, it is incumbent upon us to reflect on the pivotal questions at hand: - What will be the main themes dictating this summit? - How will Brazil amalgamate the world's foremost economic powers to work hand in hand? - What role will emerging markets play in this global conversation? The G20 has historically played a pivotal role in fostering international economic cooperation, particularly in the midst of crises. The 2008 financial crisis is a prime example, where the G20 leaders unified to institute financial regulations and proactive fiscal policies that propagated financial stability and expedited global economic recovery. This time, as Brazil takes the helm, we anticipate an agenda fixated on sustainable development, inclusive growth, and the proliferation of digital economy. There is very little debate on the relevance of these themes today. The pandemic has laid bare the disparities in our societies, underlining the need for inclusive growth. Sustainable development has transitioned from being a 'nice to have' to an undeniable necessity. Balancing economic growth while maintaining environmental sovereignty, is a collective challenge facing the world. On the same note, the digital economy's role has expanded dramatically in the post-pandemic world, with entire economies now thriving on digital platforms. - How will Brazil navigate these divisive waters to bridge the digital divide? - How will it promote and enforce sustainable economic practices amongst the world’s biggest economies? The charm of these summits is that they transcend national interests and focus on global targets. Where individual economies might falter, the collective strength and commitment of the G20 can act as a catalyst for global, positive change. As we countdown to this influential summit: - Keep abreast of the developments - Engage in meaningful discussions - Get involved in shaping a sustainable, inclusive future. Remember, the decisions brewed within the heart of these meetings have the propensity to influence not just us, but generations to come. The engagement and action of leaders at the G20 can lead to cascading ripple effects across the globe. So here’s to hope, collaboration, and a brighter future. #G20Brazil2024 #GlobalEconomy #SustainableDevelopment

If you aspire to have an International Career, here are 5 cultural differences in the "ways of working" that I experienced in the USA. I usually share these with my clients to minimize the cultural impact in the workplace and thought it would be helpful to share it here. As a Brazilian, I know that we are consumers of American brands and products and we have a feeling of familiarity and cultural proximity, but our daily lives are very different. Tag someone here who is coming to the USA so they don't get surprised. #internationalcareer #culture #expat #career #awareness

the queen of data: Luise Villa ”what are the latest updates in #digitalmarketing, the #creatoreconomy, #technology, and #business in latin america? the 2024 edition of Atlantico ‘s digital transformation report was released yesterday. i've gathered some insights that show how brazil is leading digital communication on various fronts — from social media to whatsapp. 👩🏻‍💻 3.6 hours per day on social networks. yes, that's the average time brazilians spend online. 77% of users use these platforms to discover and learn more about brands. 41% follow content creators who #influence decision-making. 💸 since 2017, investment in #influencermarketing has more than doubled, rising from 2% to 4.5% of the advertising budget in brazil. i also found out that we already have 20.3 million digital product buyers (a 6.3x increase since 2018!). 🤳🏻 monetization for #creators is still a challenge. many still earn less than a minimum wage (67%) and work through bartering (74%). platforms like LTK are helping change this game, offering alternative revenue streams for creators. from 2021 to 2024, commissions of r$100k to r$300k for influencers grew by 122%. 🤝🏻 go niche! while many brands still focus on #macro influencers, the numbers show that the real impact is in #niches and #communities. in a recent campaign, nano-influencers (<10k followers) had an engagement and conversion rate per follower up to 20x higher than macro influencers (>500k). when influencers speak directly to a segmented and highly engaged audience, the connection is much more authentic and can bring very interesting results in campaigns. 💬 we continue to dominate #whatsapp business: we are responsible for 40% of global revenue. 95% of businesses use the app to contact customers. 81% of #brazilians trust companies more when they can exchange instant messages with them. in this video, i explain how all of this connects to the future of business. to download the full report, check the link in the comments. happy reading!”

🎤✨ Websummit Rio 2024: Tech for change✨🎤 Watch our conversation with English subtitles Last week, at Web Summit Rio, Patricia Borges and I discussed the transformative power of intersectional queer representation in politics. No country in the world has more trans people in Congress than Brazil, demonstrating we are starting to bring diverse voices to the forefront of policy-making. However, this visibility often comes with increased risk. Patricia shared her harrowing experiences of political violence while working on Erika Hilton's office while she was a city councilor for São Paulo, a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those who dare to disrupt traditional power dynamics. Her testimony sheds light on the urgent need to protect our leaders who are at the intersection of gender and political violence. In response to these challenges, @#VoteLGBT is proposing an innovative solution: harnessing Artificial Intelligence to defend democracy. Imagine a tool that not only detects but actively helps safeguard LGBT+ leaders, transforming the way we empower our most targeted political leaders. As we navigate these complex issues, our commitment to projects that are good for everyone remains. We believe in the power of AI to create safer spaces for political engagement, ensuring that every voice is not only heard but protected. #WebSummitRio #QueerTech #VoteLGBT #LGBTQTech #DiversityInTech #QueerVoices #TechForGood
