AVAAZ & AMAZON WATCH

Woman Leading the Climate Action and Environmental Protection Towards a Livable Planet

At the core of this event is Minister Sonia Guajajara, a powerful voice with extensive experience  in indigenous rights and biodiversity protection who shared her expertise and vision for a  sustainable future. The distinguished panel delved into how women are addressing centuries old challenges. They are fighting to keep the Amazon Forest standing through ground-level  initiatives and advocacy, with the highest echelons of power. Guests in attendance learned  about the Amazon's pivotal role in maintaining global climate stability and the urgent solutions  needed to restore it aligning with the 1.5” C global warming goal. 

This event marked the launch of a new movement. A call to action in support of the leadership  of indigenous women in the Amazon and all Brazil biomes, towards strengthening their  presence and participation in the path to COP-30. In this high-profile event, part of the UNGA 78  official satellite events, Minister Guajajara extended a global invitation and welcomed influential  women from across the world including ministers, first ladies, prime ministers, scientists,  celebrities, and young leaders. 

4H5H MEDIA and Avaaz partnered on the coordination and production of the “Power of  Collaboration: Shifting Culture Through Media, Art, and Storytelling to Drive Change at  Scale” discussion panel promoted by the UN Global Compact - Rede Brasil, for the UNGA 78 that took place at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
