Germany’s commitment to preserving the Amazonas goes beyond financial aid. The government aims to create incentives that facilitate better access to the European market for sustainable products while encouraging local value creation. By promoting the trade of environmentally-friendly goods, Germany seeks to ensure that economic growth aligns with ecological responsibility.
The recent change in leadership in Brazil has presented a unique opportunity to enhance trade relations between Europe and the Mercosur states.
