In recent days all the attention around global warming and climate change is focused on Egypt. The country hosts the 27th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP27) from November 6th to 18th. The planted forest sector has important representatives, as it has a significant share in the reduction of the greenhouse effect indexes.

On the 9th, the sustainability manager of the Brazilian Tree Industry (Ibá), Renata Nishio, met with representatives of the Australian Forest Products Association (AFPA) to align details of the organization of the side event “The role of certified planted forests to maintain the goal of 1.5°C”. On the fourth day of the COP, authorities from several countries shared views and experiences on the challenges and opportunities of climate finance.

Also in Egypt are Cristiano Teixeira and Francisco Razzolini, Klabin’s general director and director of Industrial Technology, Innovation, Sustainability and Projects. The company is part of Business Leaders, the group responsible for spreading the low carbon economy. “There is an expectation that this will be the COP of implementation, where promises can be transformed into progress, and we will closely follow the negotiations, aware of the important role we have in disseminating the importance of combating climate change, and how we can contribute on this front, among the leaders of the private sector”, stated Cristiano Teixeira, who is also Climate Ambassador (SDG 13) for the Brazil Network of the UN Global Compact.
