The answer was brought by our co-founders Pajani Singah and Adam Smith, who yesterday visited the Houses of Parliament in London. They shared the work our company is doing in Latin America with two prominent members of the House of Lords, demonstrating the results achieved with smallholder farmers, Indigenous Peoples and sustainable enterprises in the Amazon.
Pajani and Adam joined discussions on how sustainable green finance is an important part of the investment strategy overseas, especially considering two significant events: the recent shutdown of the United States Agent for International Development (USAID) and the future of the UK post-Brexit.
The AIV team is actively engaged in dialogues about how catalytic investment can drive forest and biodiversity conservation in the Amazon rainforest. We are exploring ways to foster an inclusive bioeconomy, enhancing the sustainable trade of non-timber forest products and deforestation-free agri-commodities.
AIV’s approach involves collaborating with SMEs committed to environmental sustainability, ultimately improving the livelihoods of indigenous peoples and local communities. As part of our broader engagement, we are set to continue collaborating with governments to increase climate and green finance into the Amazon, ensuring long-term impact and sustainability in the region.
