The second "D" in REDD+: avoided forest fires in the Amazon

​Please note: Guests can arrive from 16:30. The session is followed by a networking reception from 18:00 to 19:00.

​In the rainforest, fire rarely clears the forest in one go. It degrades it, killing trees for years and making it easier to burn again. This is the second “D” in REDD+, and almost no one credits it today.

​FAS and Ecora bring together science, territories and certification to discuss how to measure and recognise, with integrity, the emissions avoided by preventing fire in the Amazon and the Cerrado.

​Speakers:
•  Virgílio Viana, Superintendent-General, Sustainable Amazon Foundation (FAS)
•  Daniel Nepstad, Founder and President, Earth Innovation Institute
•  Ane Alencar, Science Director, IPAM · MapBiomas Fire
•  Francisco Bidone, Technical Director, Ecora

​Photo ID required. Guests from outside the hotel must bring a photo ID, such as a passport, driving licence or Blue Zone badge. The ID is kept by hotel security during the session and returned on the way out.
