Levantamento Preliminar das Estratégias e Práticas do G20: uma contribuição para a Iniciativa de Bioeconomia do G20

This report analyzes how G20 nations are advancing the bioeconomy, categorizing approaches into biotechnology, bioresources, and bioecology. It highlights the potential for the global bioeconomy to reach US$ 30 trillion by 2050 and emphasizes the need for equitable, biodiversity-regenerative models. The document details technological advancements in biorefineries and bio-based materials, the role of indigenous knowledge, and the importance of sustainable finance and international cooperation to align economic growth with planetary boundaries.

• The global bioeconomy is experiencing significant growth, with the World Bioeconomy Forum estimating its current value at US$ 4 trillion and projecting it to reach US$ 30 trillion by 2050, representing one-third of global economic value.
• G20 members' bioeconomy approaches generally align across three thematic axes: biotechnology (research, development, and innovation), bioresources (sustainable use of biodiversity), and bioecology (broader sustainable development).
• Biorrefining capacity varies significantly among G20 nations, with the United States leading at approximately 16 million tonnes per year, followed by Brazil at 14.5 million tonnes per year.
• The bioeconomy relies on a bidirectional interaction between nature and society, where the sustainable use of biodiversity is a prerequisite to avoid conflicts between food security, energy security, and resource availability.
• Indigenous and traditional knowledge is critical for sustainable bioeconomy development, particularly in conservation, medicinal practices, and the management of sociobiodiversity products, such as the non-timber forest products in Pará, Brazil, which generated R$ 5.4 billion in local income.
• There is a lack of a common global model for bioeconomy indicators; most countries rely on economic metrics like value added and employment, while social indicators such as poverty reduction are rarely used.
• Sustainable finance for the bioeconomy requires reforming international financial architecture to mobilize capital, with estimates suggesting US$ 440 billion annually is needed to leverage opportunities in nature-positive production systems.
• The report proposes five key themes for the G20's work program: integration into green growth plans, livelihood and equity, enabling finance, facilitating biotrade, and establishing bioeconomy metrics.
