Brazilian challenges ahead should consider...

• Brazil is a global player in two intertwined areas: environment and agro-business

• Environment ingredients are at the core of the new economy

• The move towards a low carbon economy is inevitable and desirable

Some Brazilian challenges… 1. A new forest policy needs to be put in place now

– The implementation of the Forest Code via the adoption of the Rural Environmental Registry

– Scaling up native forests sustainable management – Restoration: a catalyst goal

2. Intensifying policy dialogues with the private sector, development banks, social movements, and the media

3. Amplifying partnerships of the Government and the private sector.

4. Production and Protection
