Course description
The Amazon is approaching critical turning points, but there are also pathways to resilience. Join a seminar that explores the importance of the Amazon and uncovers how climate change, fire, deforestation, and governance are shaping tipping points in the region. Discover how Indigenous peoples’ and local communities’ territories act as critical buffers, and how restoration, sociobioeconomy, and collective action can drive positive change. Featuring weekly discussions and guest scientists, this seminar brings an interdisciplinary lens to Amazonia’s most urgent challenges where land use and climate change meet.
