Leaders from governments, civil society and researchers will attend the event “Sustainable value chains: Learning from the past, investing in the future”, organized by the BRICS Policy Center, the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), the Global Environmental Institute (China) and the Future Horizons Institute (Norway). 

There will be two days of programming, October 15 and 16, from 9am to 12pm, where the debate will address how to make agricultural and mineral commodity chains – which traditionally have significant environmental impacts – more sustainable and socially inclusive.

The discussions are part of the Policy Brief “Sustainable commodities for climate, nature and people: Learning from the past, investing in the future”, a document that will inform the G20 discussions. Researchers from universities and think tanks in Brazil, Norway, the USA, China, Peru and Ecuador produced the recommendations.

The meeting is a side event of the T20 and is open to students, researchers, journalists and others interested in the discussions of the G20 think tanks and research centers engagement group
