What are the impacts of deforestation in the Amazon on climate, Indigenous Peoples, and overall quality of the rainforest? How can the Amazon be restored?
Dr. Patricia Pinho, Deputy Science Director of IPAM Amazonia, and an IPCC Author is here to discuss what is happening on the ground of the Amazon. What’s the political situation like in Brazil and are things feeling more optimistic?

Dr. Patricia Pinho is interested in understanding the ways people's lives are affected by the impacts of climate change and how they respond to these challenges through adaptation. She investigates under what ways some people (of color, indigenous, women, children, elderly, and across geographies) are more vulnerable, addressing inequalities and loss and damage (residual risks) through justice.
Patricia also has experience in researching the relationship on ecosystem services, human wellbeing and livelihoods sustainability with special focus on Amazonia. I’m passionate about the critical role of Amazonia Ecosystem(s) in delivering services for local livelihoods, regional economy, and climate resilience in Brazil, South America, and the world.
