The Jair Bolsonaro government’s denial in the face of world coordination in the fight against climate issues is opening up space for state governors to take the lead in building a green economy in Brazil. And, thus, gain an international projection never seen before. This is the case of the governor of Pará, Helder Barbalho, who hosted the first World Bioeconomy Forum outside Finland.
From Monday to Wednesday this week, in addition to personally receiving the world’s leading experts in biodiversity, the politician signed — on the stage of the event — the decree that creates the State Bioeconomy Strategy. And, as a continuation, it promised, for the next 180 days, the construction of the State Bioeconomy Plan.
If the searchlight was not enough, now the governor promises to take the document to COP-26, to be held from October 1st to November 12th in Glasgow, Scotland. He arrives at the event wearing data. A survey conducted by the International Development Bank (IDB), The Nature Conservancy and Natura points out that the socio-biodiversity production chains in Pará moved around R$ 5.4 billion in 2019. According to a statement from the state, this number is almost three times greater than the value registered by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) in the same period.
By hosting a global event and disseminating governance tools for the green agenda, the State of Pará shows that Brazil still has a voice and is still able to take the lead in implementing a low-carbon economy. The temporary owner of the Planalto Palace is enough not to get in the way.
