Today, on Amazon Day, we are pleased to announce that the AmazoniAtiva platform will be taken forward by a new organisation.

For the past decade, BVRio has worked to develop and promote market mechanisms in support of the green economy, with social inclusion a core BVRio value. We believe everyone should benefit from the green economy and we seek to support the most vulnerable people working in the sectors we focus on.

In December 2021 BVRio reached the end of its first 10 years of operation, and in this, our 11th year, we are going to take the opportunity to celebrate the decade of impact we have made.

BVRio's Design & Sustainable Wood Initiative has played a key part in reinforcing the role of small-scale producers in the Amazon by facilitating the production of wooden trophies for the final of the Brazilian Copa Verde Football tournament, which took place this weekend.

The champion team and the best player of the final match of the 2021 Brazilian Cope Verde (Green Cup) annual football tournament will be awarded wooden trophies produced out of the BVRio Design & Sustainable Wood initiative.

The Brazil Coalition have this month submitted a document advocating for a National Bioeconomy Policy to Ministers

Since November 2020, BVRio has been participating in preparatory meetings for the implementation of the Amazon Forest Forum, a regional forum of the Forest Dialogue, whose objective is to become a reference space for the construction of solutions for the protection and sustainable use of forests in the Brazilian Amazon.
