The Joint Declaration of the Amazon Parliament on the Biodiversity COP16 and Climate COP29 reaffirms the commitment of the parliaments of the eight Amazonian countries to biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and the strengthening of the bioeconomy.
The document outlines legislative priorities to support international negotiations, including forest protection, financing for conservation and restoration, investments in research and innovation, recognition of the role of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and the strengthening of legal frameworks that promote the sustainable use of natural resources and the implementation of commitments undertaken at the COPs.
