Preparations have been progressing well and the State of\u00a0Par\u00e1\u00a0and its capital Bel\u00e9m is ready to host the Forum 2021, 18 \u2013 20 October. The event will highlight the importance of the circular bioeconomy in the fight against climate change.\u00a0Kantola commented on his visit to\u00a0Bel\u00e9m to view the facilities and meet the organising team:\u00a0\u201cIt was a great visit to\u00a0Brazil last week.\u00a0I enjoyed every moment, and I am very pleased to see that Bel\u00e9m is ready to host the Forum 2021. I made the journey from Finland to Brazil and back without any problems at all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe just need to start living again \u2013 people are made to see each other. If you can be disciplined at home, you can be disciplined wherever you are in the world \u2013 respecting authorities\u2019 instructions and taking care of personal protection, for instance wearing masks and keeping social distance. Bel\u00e9m is not only the gateway to the Amazon, but during the Forum it will be the gateway to the circular bioeconomy.\u201dOrganization of the event is well under way, with the pandemic in the region well under control, according to the Par\u00e1 State health authorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Forum is expecting a good number of international speakers and delegates at the event, as well as a wide representation of circular bioeconomy stakeholders from Brazil and the rest of Latin America.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cWe are committed and delighted to be hosting the World BioEconomy Forum in the capital of our state,\u201d says\u00a0Jos\u00e9 Mauro de Lima O\u2019 de Almeida, Estate Secretary of Environment and Sustainability.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it is important to highlight the bioeconomy that we want, because bioeconomy is not a closed concept. In Brazil, bioeconomy is discussed a lot as if it were the use of natural resources for applications such as ethanol. However, we want to talk more broadly at this Forum.\u00a0 We intend to shed light on the bioeconomy of the forest, of forest products and of our vocations linked to the forest, such as the fruits, roots, stems and trees that are used for forest restoration. By encouraging these forest products, which we already cultivate, increasing production capacity, also with the incorporation of technology, we understand that we have changed the key to Par\u00e1&#8217;s economy based on the bioeconomy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no doubt that the bioeconomy in Brazil and throughout Latin America will be seen in a completely different light after this event in Bel\u00e9m,\u201d emphasizes the state secretary. To coincide with the event, the Par\u00e1 State has launched Bioeconomy Week, which will take place a week before the Forum and will feature side events and educational platforms relating to the circular bioeconomy in the region. The state has also launched a specially designed World BioEconomy Forum logo for the 2021 event, emphasizing local elements of its bioeconomy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founder of the World BioEconomy Forum, Jukka Kantola,\u00a0recently returned from a visit to Bel\u00e9m and S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil.
