The United States and Norway announced two new contributions to the Amazon Fund on Sunday (17). The U.S. pledged $50 million, while Norway committed an additional $60 million. The U.S. announcement was made by President Joe Biden during his visit to Manaus, Amazonas. Mr. Biden said he is leaving a \u201cstrong legacy\u201d for President-elect Donald Trump, who will take office on January 20, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Amazon Fund has received over R$4.2 billion in internalized donations since its creation in 2008. Tereza Campello, socio-environmental director at the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), said R$882 million in projects have already been approved this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the new pledge, U.S. contributions to the Amazon Fund will total $100 million. However, the donation announced by Mr. Biden is contingent on approval from the Republican-controlled U.S. Congress. \u201cThe fight against climate change has been the cause of my presidency. There\u2019s no need to choose between the economy and the environment\u2014we can do both,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m leaving the presidency in January and will hand over a strong foundation to my successor, should they choose to continue this path. Some may deny or delay the clean energy revolution underway in the U.S., but no one can reverse it,\u201d Mr. Biden added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norway, Brazil\u2019s primary partner in the Amazon Fund, announced a new $60 million contribution to the initiative. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr St\u00f8re made the announcement as recognition of Brazil\u2019s 31% reduction in deforestation in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement was made during the Global Citizen Now Conference, held at the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) in Rio de Janeiro. Mr. St\u00f8re is in Brazil for the G20 Leaders\u2019 Summit that starts this Monday (18).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. St\u00f8re said the donation reaffirms the longstanding partnership between Norway and Brazil on climate and rainforest preservation. \u201cBrazil\u2019s success in reducing deforestation is a clear demonstration of the Lula administration\u2019s ambition and determination. It shows how targeted measures can deliver significant results for the climate and nature,\u201d he said in a statement released by the Norwegian embassy in Bras\u00edlia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwegian Climate and Environment Minister Tore O. Sandvik underscored the importance of the partnership: \u201cPreserving the rainforest is one of the most important investments we make. Since Lula resumed the presidency in January, deforestation has dropped significantly, proving that Brazil is a global leader and driving force in protecting tropical forests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
