((MC- KAREN DE SOUZA)) HELLO EVERYBODY, WELCOME TO THE FIRST WEBINAR OF 2021 ORGANIZED BY CONCERTAÇÃO PELA AMAZÔNIA, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PÁGINA 22.// THIS SONG YOU WERE LISTENING TO IS BY CLEUDILON SILVEIRA, BETTER KNOWN AS PASSARINHO, AN AMAZONIAN ARTIST WHO IMITATES THE SOUND OF 37 DIFFERENT BIRDS FROM THE REGION.// THANKS FOR BEING WITH US IN THIS DEBATE.//

FOLKS, THIS WEBINAR COMES WITH AN EXTRA REASON TO CELEBRATE: TODAY WE LAUNCHED THE “AMAZÔNIA LEGAL EM DADOS” PLATFORM.// HERE YOU CAN HAVE A BROAD AND INTEGRATED VIEW OF THE NINE STATES OF THE LEGAL AMAZON, BASED ON ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INDICATORS.// THERE YOU WILL FIND 113 INDICATORS THAT WERE ELABORATED BASED ON CONSOLIDATED AND COMPARABLE DATA.// WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT SINCE THIS INFORMATION CAN BE THE BASIS FOR DISCUSSIONS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC POLICIES FOR THE REGION.// THIS IS OUR MAIN SUBJECT AND WE ARE HERE WITH A GREAT TEAM TO TALK TO.//

LET’S BEGIN WITH FRANSCISCO GAETANI, WHO IS A PROFESSOR AT EBAPE/FGV IN RIO AND FELLOW OF THE ARAPYAÚ INSTITUTE.//LO FRANCISCO, THE WORD IS WITH YOU.//

ACT 2 DISCUSSION WITH COMMENTATORS

((MC)) THIS WEBINAR IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE TODAY WE HAVE A VERY STRONG TEAM OF COMMENTATORS.//I NOW WELCOME: TATIANA SCHOR, SECRETARY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION OF AMAZONAS.// SIMÃO JATENE, ECONOMIST AND FORMER GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF PARÁ, AND JOSÉ EDUARDO COSTA, PHYSICIAN AND FEDERAL DEPUTY FOR PARÁ AND LEADER OF THE POLITICAL ACTION NETWORK FOR SUSTAINABILITY.// HI, GUYS, THANKS FOR YOUR PRESENCE!

1) SIMÃO, THE PLATFORM PRESENTS ANALYSES BASED ON 113 ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL INDICATORS.// WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING SUCH A WIDE RANGE OF INFORMATION WHEN THINKING ABOUT PUBLIC MANAGEMENT OF A REGION AS DIVERSE AND COMPLEX AS THE AMAZON?

2) TATIANA, THERE ARE SOME INNOVATION POLES IN THE AMAZON, ONE OF THEM IS PARINTINS, BUT LITTLE IS SAID ABOUT THIS REGION’S CAPACITY.// IS IT POSSIBLE TO CREATE A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE PLATFORM AND THESE POLES TO BASE INVESTMENT DECISIONS IN THE REGION?

3) JOSÉ, THAT THE INDUSTRIAL HUB OF THE AMAZON IS MORE THAN 50 YEARS OLD. HOW TO DEVELOP AN INDUSTRIAL POLICY THAT TAKES THIS TRADITION INTO ACCOUNT AND ENSURES SUSTAINABILITY?

4)TATIANA, AT AMAZONIA LEGAL IN DATA IT IS POSSIBLE TO DRAW A DEMOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT OF THE AMAZON, WHICH IS COMPOSED OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND PEOPLES, MANY OF THEM ORIGINAL PEOPLES.// THINKING ABOUT THIS DIVERSE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT ARE MORE THAN 28 MILLION, HOW CAN WE DEVELOP WHILE PROTECTING THESE PEOPLES AND PEOPLE?

5) SIMÃO, HOW CAN THE PLATFORM SUPPORT THE NEWLY ELECTED MAYORS TO IMPLEMENT DEVELOPMENT POLICIES FOR THE REGION?6) JOSÉ, HOW TO GUARANTEE DEVELOPMENT IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY? HOW TO DEAL WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF ALREADY TRADITIONAL ACTIVITIES IN THE REGION (I MAY OR MAY NOT MENTION MINING, BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO DO SO)

7) HAS A SECTION IN THE PLATFORM THAT SHOWS CHALLENGES THAT ARE BEING OVERCOME. ONE OF THEM IS ILLITERACY. THE REDUCTION OF ILLITERACY IN THE REGION HAS BEEN QUITE SIGNIFICANT IN RECENT YEARS. HOW COULD THE REGION FURTHER ACCELERATE THIS TRAJECTORY? IS THIS THE RESULT OF CONSISTENT INVESTMENT IN THE AREA, OF JOINING FORCES TOWARD A COMMON GOAL? WHAT WENT RIGHT IN THIS CASE THAT SHOULD BECOME LEARNING?

8) THE PLATFORM ALSO BRINGS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WORKING AS RESEARCHERS IN THE AMAZON REGION, IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT DEVELOPMENT, IS IT NECESSARY TO INVEST IN ENSURING ADEQUATE CONDITIONS FOR RESEARCH TO TAKE PLACE IN THE REGION?
