Recomendaciones para una estrategia de Diplomacia Científica para la salvaguarda de la amazonía

The document outlines a science diplomacy framework to safeguard the Amazon, focusing on transdisciplinary cooperation, joint monitoring, a science-policy hub, and capacity building. It emphasizes the need to combine scientific evidence with ancestral indigenous knowledge to address deforestation and climate change across the eight Amazonian nations.

• The Amazon ecosystem is facing a critical state due to anthropogenic actions over the last 50 years, with 17% of the tropical forest transformed and another 17% degraded by activities such as illegal logging, agricultural expansion, and livestock farming.
• The authors recommend fostering international scientific cooperation through transdisciplinary research methodologies that include active participation from Amazonian communities and a 'dialogue of knowledges' between scientists and indigenous peoples.
• A key recommendation is the strengthening of the Amazon Regional Observatory (ORA) of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (OTCA) by unifying reporting systems, creating a multilateral fund, and promoting open data agreements.
• The strategy proposes the creation of a Science-Policy Hub to serve as an advisory center that integrates scientific evidence and ancestral wisdom to design and implement public policies for sustainable development.
• Capacity building is identified as essential for multiple stakeholders, including training for public officials in using scientific evidence, empowering indigenous peoples in project management, and training academics in science diplomacy and communication.
• The document suggests establishing a financing strategy that articulates funds from Amazonian countries and creates platforms to channel international cooperation and multilateral resources efficiently.
